hello been a minute :) i did this as part of a challenge for a small art community i am in (not on here). i am sorry to not have a scanner because i am sure some detail gets lost but oh well. many mistakes made as usual but it still helped me learn a lot and i had been wanting to do another piece involving marginalia so it was a good opportunity.

❀️ thankyou! i enjoy those artists a lot, plus much of my influences come from pre-raphaelite, art nouveau and the book illustrations i grew up with so it makes me very happy that these things are being picked up on. it really means a lot to me!

    If you've got any cool stuff you'd feel like sharing, my eyeballs would love to drink it in πŸ€™ influences I mean, but def your own work in any similar directions too!

    Edit: fuck it let's make it cooler lol, I could swear I've got a signed Beckett or Baizley I never did anything with that I'd trade for a print of this if ya felt like it

    much as i would love to, i don't have the resources to make prints of anything yet, and probably won't be able to even think about such things until at least next year (i also have no address to send things to until ??? not sure tbh..next year again prob!). but, it is always very encouraging to hear that people would like a print from me, i really wish i could do this for them :bc_melttears: maybe one day, but it is a very far-away day. sorry to have to say no, i am amidst a lot of life upheaval and don't have access to the things i would need to make it happen :bc_melttears: i feel really sad about this because it is such a generous & thoughtful thing to offer and it would be very meaningful for me!

    That sounds very frustrating and I know some of those feelings well, myself. I hope things get easier and that you find yourself able to continue your work and get it printed too.

    thank you, i am hopeful that if/when i can get into a less precarious living situation (working on it rn!) it will make many things a lot easier and will open up some options for getting my work into people's hands. there are many irons to go in the fire, it is just a long way to the smithy sometimes isnt it :bc_smilomsweat: learning to draw has saved my life so i shall keep doing it even if nobody likes or understands or wants any of it, but it certainly makes me extra happy when they do! i hope you are also in a better & less frustrating situation nowadays! :bc_flower:
