Not medieval, but a work I am still rather proud of. An illustration for Lovecraft's "Memory". I realise the problematic nature of the author, but I am still fond of horror themes. Sakura Pens on Fabriano Artistico Hot Press.

Blackwork neotraditional peony I made a little while ago. Always pleasurable to tattoo pieces like this one.

Good day folks! Here's one of my latest illustrations/tattoo flash. Long wanted to do some fantasy/gaming inspired pieces so I opted for Thunderfury.

3 months healed (plus a good deal of summertime sun) Hannya on a knee. Quite enjoyed this one.

Somewhat neotrad blackwork skeleton I did a little while back. Always glad for your cool ideas.

Not quite medieval in aesthetic, but I recently had the honour of creating the interior illustrations for Sugahspank's "Αγέραστος Ρόζα", a passionate and profound poetic anthology.

Hey folks! Been a while since I last posted here but will endeavour to do so more.

Mercury slaying the Sun, based on an illustration in Aurora Consurgens (Ms. Rh. 172). The original manuscript can be found in Zentralbibliothek Zürich.

First off from my medieval flash sheet. My client opted for a magenta colour instead of the original scheme, but still always happy to do medieval themed pieces.

Detail from my most recent painting. Sakura pens & watercolour on Fabriano Studio Watercolour. I owe much to Damien Kempf's book Medieval Monsters as well as the @theul.bsky.social 's digitisation of Ortus Sanitatis as reference. #art #artsky #bskyart #illustration #medieval #medievalsky

As someone who has worked primarily with art in my life/career I have little to no knowledge on the subject. But as this seems like a good space for medievalists I thought I'd ask. Is there a way for someone with little relevant experience and mediocre grades to get involved in medieval studies?

Work in progress. This figure on the bottom left is based on what I understand to be an apple tree(?), found in the Ortus Sanitatis (Inc.3.A.1.8[37]) (1491). The original can be found in the Cambridge University Library ( @theul.bsky.social ).
