#Artist @jordanrookustattoo
Check out a sleeve I put together for Michael. He wanted a geometric sleeve with a central spider representing #PerdidoStreetStation, his favorite book. It was an honor to create this and really fun piecing together so many of my favorite patterns. ⁠

[ID: three screencaps of tweets on mobile. It is primarily white text, although the hashtags are blue, all on a black background.
All of the visible tweets are from @/Gunpowder_Tim (Tim Ledsam), his name is listed as “put trains in space.” The tweets are from 2/6/2020. His icon is a cartoony drawing of Gunpowder Tim.
First Image:
Tweet One reads: “‘China Mieville novels ranked by if there are trains in them’, by Tim, age 28”
Tweet Two reads: “#KingRat - 2/10 Some subway references. Bismirches trains with a bit of murder. Poor start, but it'll get better, I promise.”
Tweet Three reads: “#PerdidoStreetStation - 5/10 Pains taken to detail robust fantasy rail network. Unfortunately, the trains are rarely involved in major plot arcs. Points docked for leading me on with a title referencing a train station.”
Second Image:
Tweet Four reads: “#TheScar - 0/10 No trains. Just boats, boats, boats. And a balloon. Rubbish. This thankfully doesn't happen again, or I'd be done with this author.”
Tweet Five reads: “#IronCouncil - 10/10 Entire book is about one specific train. Most scenes take place in or adjacent to that train. Few books love trains as much as this. More than makes up for The Scar, and brings me right back in.”
Tweet Six reads: “#UnLunDun - 2/10 Trains go between "abcities", but barely feature. Mieville spends much more time on busses. A disappointing read.”
Tweet Seven reads: “#TheCityAndTheCity - 4/10 Uses rail networks as a tool to help describe breach between cities. Main character describes trains wistfully. Decent effort.”
Tweet Eight begins on this image but is cut off. The whole thing is in the Third Image.
Third Image:
Tweet Eight reads: “#Kraken - 3/10 Starts in a train. Loses steam from there. Nothing to write home about.”
Tweet Nine reads: “#EmbassyTown - 7/10 Discusses how the rail network functions despite it serving basically zero narrative purpose. I am IN”
Tweet Ten reads: “#Railsea - 🚂 [steam locomotive emoji]/10 About nothing but trains. Starts on a train. Plot revolves around trains. Main characters all love trains. Major side plot detailing the lives of train captains. Might secretly be Thomas the Tank Engine fanfiction. If there's a more train book, I've not read it.”
Tweet Eleven reads: “#TheLastDaysOfNewParis - 7/10 Sacre Coeur full of runaway trains. A train makes its way into a beard. What a great book.”
Tweet Twelve reads:
“This has been Trains. Thanks for listening.”

Slowly working my way through Perdido Street Station. It's remarkably good but potty training puppies is a bit distracting. #chinamieville #perdidostreetstation #bookwormstruggles https://www.instagram.com/p/CItmtgcrcCq/?igshid=1erd9kzrfsrg5

Real short read. It was good but not as good as China Mielvilles earlier work. His Bas Lag books are still his best read #justfinished #bookstagram #books #newwierd #scifi #chinamiellville #thelastdaysofnewparis #reading #perdidostreetstation #paris https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ADT1wFeEI/?igshid=2a3qrmqgzfyy

Perdido Street Station by China Miéville . Perdido Street Station is a novel that matches its setting, by that I mean it is a sprawling and intricate mess of parts, sewn together with discarded wire and twine by the most patient and delicate of artisans to create something truly beautiful. Part myth, part urban fantasy and part D&D campaign, it follows a handful of diverse characters as they navigate the turbulent city of New Crobuzon, and find their paths increasingly woven together as they progress further along it's grimy streets, filled with drugs, dreams and danger. . #perdidostreetstation #newcrobuzon #baslag #chinamieville #weirdfiction #minimonotonebookclub #booksreillustrated #booksivereadin2019 #booksivedrawnin2019 #bookstagram #houlart #houl (at Bonetown) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buwy4Pvh0YC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10xxuydxwtp6n
