Cubs of the Roaring Lion (and a Clever Fox)
A bit of a redraw of one of my first TLIW drawings of the sons a couple years ago, also added a Philip to even it out <3 Tried for a bit of a more harmonious palette for this one

Do you know if you will sell that drawing of the three kings asleep in the same bed with the angel waking them? It was posted on christmas of last year. I would absolutely adore to have it as a christmas card to send to my friends & family :) much love ! Adore your work !!
That's a great idea ! I'm not able to manage an online shop myself at the moment, but I've added it to my INPRNT. I know due to shipping and costs it's not ideal for everyone, but it's alI can do for now. Hopefully I'll be able to setup a partnership have an online shop of my own in the future.
I've also added my Saint Michael and Michel Berthier manuscript redraw.

If you are in France, you'll also be able to get these next month at YCON in Montreuil, and probably later on at Paris Citypop. See you around !

"Scholars have offered a number of explanations for why Matilda chose to style herself as domina Anglorum [Lady of the English]. It has been suggested that she might have balked at usage of the term regina, which, translated into the Anglo-Saxon English cwen, implied the wife of a king. The title queen, then, carried with it representational difficulties, as it was the office of king, not queen, that Matilda was seeking. In contrast, the term domina, or hlaefdige in Anglo-Saxon (lady in modern usage), was used to describe a woman exercising political and military power, such as the ninth-century Mercian queen Aethelflaed. As some scholars have suggested, Matilda’s use of the term domina may be related to a wider European usage, as dominus, or lord, described any number of public roles and offices men such as kings performed. Yet another explanation is the convention of kings elected but not yet crowned using the title dominus during the interregnum before their coronation. The title domina Anglorum undoubtedly drew from a number of meanings present in twelfth-century Anglo-Norman society, but all described a woman exercising power. As the Lady of the English, Matilda advertised herself as an individual woman capable of possessing and wielding regal power."
-Charles Beem, "Empress Matilda and Female Lordship", The Lioness Roared: The Problems of Female Rule in English History"

another art that I abandoned (June) and just finished up. the little face veil was supposed to be more opaque so that it would actually serve its purpose (lol) but I spent too much time on the face to just cover it up so much ❤️‍🩹
