Been talking to a few people about commissions lately — I’d been aiming to open them this month, but I just heard that I’ve been accepted into a local comic con (yay!) that I gotta prepare stuff for, then I’m travelling in May, so I’ll be officially opening commissions in June! I’ll make a proper info post then, just figured I’d mention it now cos I’ve had a couple of queries here and on twitter lately, and I’m excited to open them when I have the time :)

(And to anyone who has already messaged me, you’re first in line if you’re still interested then!)

Here are the labelled crew members for those interested!

I've been wanting to do a full-crew Endurance illustration for a long time, and finally the gang's all here! 28 men, dogs and cat all accounted for, with every crew member referencing either a photo of them or a story about them. It's a little over two years since I first read Lansing's Endurance and I couldn't be happier to still be researching and drawing these guys :)

I just want you to know how much I love the art of kim harry and cuno. I literally wheezed laughing when I realized cunos jacket said cunt and the t was just written over 🤣

THANK YOU!! I’m so new to the characters but they’re already so dear to me, so I’m super happy to be able to make other fans giggle!

Polar comic of the day. Guys I think he has other things on his mind

(Some context for this mess:

“Certainly Kathleen’s diary shows that - for a brief while - she was indeed considering Lawrence in the role of a suitor. She described it as an ‘acute attack of Lawrencitis’.”

- From ‘An ‘Acute Attack of Lawrencitis’: Lady Kathleen Scott’s Friendship with the Lawrence Family’ by Alison Jolley (read here)

“And although Kathleen and Peter took the train in the direction of Lamer at least one weekend in the month to bask in Cherry's devoted hospitality, he was either too overawed to be physically attracted or his sickly conscience got in the way. She coolly found him "a young thing."”

- From ‘Shaw’s Sculptress, Kathleen Scott’ by Stanley Weintraub (read here)

“If our sexes had been different (one of us, I mean) we could have pulled off a eugenist's dream. As it is there's only a mutual admiration available.”

- A 1927 letter from TE Lawrence to Cherry (read here))
