OKAY SO! I need pieces for an upcoming polar exhibition and here's how you can help make my life easier! For a small fee YOU can tell me which polar guy I should stare at for a bit and whip up a portrait of, with a chance of the study becoming an original piece like these!

Go on, tell me which of one of our dashing explorers I should go for.

Introducing the New Polar Times

Are you an independent researcher, writer, artist, or creator? Are you fascinated by the history of polar exploration and looking to explore this in your work? The New Polar Times needs you! We’re working on an upcoming collaborative literary and arts magazine that will showcase the talents, interests, and original work of a new generation of polar enthusiasts.

The New Polar Times will focus on the “Heroic Age” of polar exploration, as well as the transitional periods that bookend it – beginning after the Franklin search expeditions with Charles Francis Hall’s 1871-3 Polaris expedition and ending with the disappearance of Roald Amundsen in 1928.

For our first round of submissions – opening February 28th, 2025 – we will be looking for proposals – no complete works just yet! – for works of the following types:

Historical narrative essays (both written and graphic)

Interdisciplinary research on polar history topics

Experimental/creative works (poems, recipes, infographics, etc.)

Parody works in the style of the original South Polar Times

Standalone artworks & comics

Our second round will open at a later date (to be announced!) and will consist of an application for artists to illustrate some of the written works accepted in round 1 – stay tuned for the announcement if you’re interested!

Further updates and announcements will be posted here as the project progresses, so watch this space!

Head on over to my Ko-fi to check out my commissions and shop, and -rattles jar- maybe even drop me tip!

WIP Folder Ask Game

Tagged by @brainyraccoons ♥ I had a poke around my notebook and WIPs to see what I got in store!

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it!

No writing WIPs for me, just art!

Final week to get your sketch pages and help a friend out!

Okay people, here's the thing: I have a four-week medical bill coming up and like many polar explorers I am crowdfunding that thing because:

a) commissions are my only source of income

b) I forgot there's a whole week of public holidays coming up and my biweekly bill is going to quite literally double itself because the psych's office will be closed for a week and that's the only way I can get my meds

c) see point A

For the bargain price of £50 I'll draw your polar explorer or Character From Media of choice 3-5 times in a sketch page. Request one here now! Choose from 3(!!!) different styles! Get yourself a new year treat today!
