listen hobbit pussy could be mediocre (doubtful) but even if it was it's still followed by a 17 course homecooked meal and the kind of weed that would make sauron scared. lithe beautiful immortal elven pussy has no power compared to the simple, hardworking hobbit. and it goes without saying that you cannot handle dwarven pussy.

The grower of trees, the gardener, the man born to farming,

whose hands reach into the ground and sprout,

to him the soil is a divine drug. He enters into death

yearly, and comes back rejoicing.

For those who haven't commissioned from me before, the process is we hash out the details for your piece here on Tumblr or Discord, and you can send payments through PayPal or Zelle. Anyways, anything is really appreciated rn!

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

From The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul, which sometimes helps me and sometimes opposes me.

I am an unserious hobby calligrapher. I write for fun because I find the motion relaxing, and secondarily to make pretty things.

I mostly do broad-nib calligraphy but I also use brush pens occasionally and I’m saving up for a flex nib fountain pen.

I do take requests via asks but there’s no guarantee I’ll get to them in a reasonable timeframe or at all. Including photos of your pets is an acceptable bribe that may increase your chances of getting your request written.

Ode 2 Spot

IT IS FINALLY FINISHED.

After days of work, I’m finally happy with the result! I have completely reworked my hand-lettered Ode To Spot, and I am so proud of it!

I've also made an old-looking version, of which a high-res download is available to anyone that's supported me on Ko-Fi :)

The path isn't a straight line; it’s a spiral. You continually come back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system. In biology such behavior is called “cancer”.

The current batch of calligraphy pages I have been uploading (and there are more queued) have quite a few mistakes in them but I’ve decided to upload them anyway without redoing them and eschew perfectionism. I might redo some later on, but it’ll be in different styles on different paper.
