[ofmdlovelyletters]

a lovely letter for illustoryart who produces the sweetest art across so many fandoms, but their ofmd work is some of my absolute favourite

Hello @illustoryart! You've received a lovely letter! 💌

[illustoryart]

Good day for Good Omens fandom! 🥳

How are we feeling?

I am SO READY for Season 2! 🥰

Happy anniversary! 💙

ARTIST OF THE WEEK

The aotw for this weekend is the lovely @illustoryart whose affirmation deck most of us have, and if you haven't seen their incredibly detailed art around on your dash, today you will <3 They agreed to answer a few questions for me-

Which do you use to draw (app/digital or traditional)?

I used to draw more traditional art, but most of my OFMD fanarts are made in Procreate.

Fave brushes/pencils/mediums?

I have fave watercolor pencils, Caran D'Ache Supracolor Soft ❤️

Your favourite piece you've drawn?

That's a tough question, because it's not a constant. But I'm really proud of my OFMD Affirmation Deck :з

Who's harder to draw: Ed or Stede?

For me it's Stede (too beautiful to be captured in drawing 😍)

One essential tip for beginner artists?

Draw every day and don't be ashamed to use references. It's okay to learn from photos and other artists' works. Just make sure your refs are not AI generated 😅

Why OFMD? 🥹

Because it's a perfect combination of queer pirates, historical inaccuracies, found family trope, comedy, romance and drama 💔

Oh, and absolutely perfect cast and crew! ❤️‍🔥

[santans-cheerleader]

@illustoryart They are wonderful, thank you! And the short note from you resonates with me greatly.

I already picked a few cards and I'm closing out the year with them. It was difficult time, but also full of beautiful little moments. Also, thanks to GO fandom :)

Happy Birthday @illustoryart

Just saw that it is illustoryart's birthday today -- I adore their work, and am sharing two prints I recently bought:

Beautiful work, created with care and love.

FYI, I found the prints from their linktree page:

I received mine yesterday! And as grief has caught up with me and a persistent headcold and headache has me in its claws, opening the box hit me hard, too

Also I was crying cuz reasons and the first card kinda wrecked me.

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies! First of all! Happy S2 Anniversary!

I know this is a day late, sorry about that! There's been a lot of chatter over some of the things that David said yesterday-- some folks took it as OFMD was not getting an s3, some people took it as still quite hopeful! I gotta say, I'm loving how much it's given us all something to focus on again. We get to celebrate OFMD-- we get to speculate. I realize it's not a "hey s3 is happening!" but it's hopeful, and what is life without hope? It's kraken era, it's gravy basket, and HOPE is what pulls us OUT of those places! So go out and clown/honk and celebrate if you want to! Take every tweet from David as a good thing! If you don't want to-- that's okay too! But with so many months of "hey we've reached the end of the road" looming over us, it feels like a good thing to think there's going to "most if not all of us would do it again in a heartbeat". This fandom wears hope well, at least I think so. Alright, I'm already late so I'm gonna shush. I hope you all had a lovely anniversary, and the beginning of this week treats you with nothing but kindness lovelies. Take care of yourselves <3

[whitecat901]

Thanks @illustoryart 💜💜💜

[illustoryart]

Every night in the old town

starry darkness creeps on the walls

looks at you with thousand eyes

runs the streets with stray cats

borrows homeless shadows

howls at the moon with werewolves

stands right behind your back.

[lickthecowhappy]

@illustoryart 's affirmation deck is haunted. I always get exactly the one I need.

[bellisima-writes]

Fandom friends are the best. Thanks bestie, @lickthecowhappy , for this awesome postcard that took way too long to get to me but brightened my day immensely when I received it.

Art by the amazing @illustoryart . I bought a digital set of ineffable husbands works and have one as my background on my phone - check out their blog for more goodies. The detailing is delicious.

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies. This week has been hell. I know it has. I hope you know though that for every asshole out there who is unkind to you or wants to take away your rights-- you have a hell of a lot more of us who love you dearly and recognize the beauty and the wonder in you. I know it's easy to fall into despair.. and it's good to feel the feelings to help heal them, but don't fall too far down the rabbit hole okay? You are loved. Period. You are worthy of love. Period. You are valid. Period. Shine brighter than their hate. Shine brighter than their ignorance. You are a force to be reckoned with. Be safe, and reach out when you are in trouble or unsure. There is no shame in getting help-- and most of all, there is no shame in being you, okay? None. We will persevere. Love you crew.
