We do big high profile events and small local events alike and enjoy meeting people at both.

Today, the latter, at our local village market which is just a short walk from home. Conveniently set up next to the cake stall :)

If you can’t get to a live event, everything is at thefolklorepodcast.com

Been reading The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler and just felt compelled to capture something from it #inkdrawing #illustration

Gotta love that classic taboo trope:
"I'll be the best spouse you've ever known, just don't do X"
*proceeds to do X*
"A'ight, imma peace out, yo"
Was he a beast? A monster? An evil spirit? Psyche's sisters chided her about having never seen her mysterious new (very rich) husband until she could take no more and shone a light on his face. She discovered he was Cupid, but she had broken his one rule: he fled #MythologyMonday

keeping your kids from reading gay books isn't going to stop them from being gay

happy pride!

🏳️‍🌈Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈 Today's #medievalart #illustration is inspired by 'Le Roman de Silence', a literary piece that depicts a girl raised a boy who name themselves 'Silence'. They are accosted by both Nature and Nurture (and Reason), who argue over whether Silence should remain a man. Find yourself!

Another #medievalart #illustration. This time, thinking about the time they dug up a corpse and put it on trial.😅
📜Pope Formosus was a pope that sided with a duke over the king of Italy, leading to the next pope to put his rotting corpse on trial! They mocked his silence and 'grinning' throughout📜

Posting an #inkwork #illustration of Bossk from #starwars I did a while back before I got bogged down with my new 'Cat in crackowes' store and studying!

The Cat in Crackowes now has some new wares! Check out my #etsy shop at catincrackowes.etsy.com/!
You've heard of puss in boots? Well meet his medievalist moniker donning some very fashionable, pointy shoes.

I've just beaten #death'sdoor, a fantastic game I would highly recommend. Such a beautiful world and style! Still haven't finished it entirely, and I intend to dive back in to complete it. For now, here’s a #watercolor #illustration I did of the Reaper / crow.

Tried my hand at another #Pokémon #ukiyo-e style #watercolor #illustration, this time of another of my favourites, Gastly!

Feel I'm getting there with #watercolour, starting with it first before #inking. Another #ukiyo-e inspired #pokémon #illustration of Treecko, the grass starter and lizard-dinosaur thing from Hoenn!

Eadweard Muybridge did this cat motion study in 1887. Just posting it for everyone who thinks Edwardian and late Victorian cats had to sit still for 5 minutes to be photographed. ☺️ www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/oeuvres/c...

Still practising with #watercolours. It's a messy medium, and I'm still making a few mistakes here and there, but it sure is fun creating these cute little #pokémon #illustrations!

My business cards are finally here! ✹ Open for commissions, be it #medievalart, #illustrations, #animation, #modelpainting, or more! ✹

It's #japan day today here in Düsseldorf. Celebrating by watching Dandadan and #watercolour #illustration of Weezing in a mix of #ukiyo-e style and Ken Sugimori's Pokémon watercolours.

Belfast today: March for Trans Rights; 12.30 Writer’s Square.

Stand up for human rights & dignity!

Thought I'd try my hand at #animation again for a quick project. So I turned my #medievalart #illustration of a jackalope atop an arachas into a gif using #moho
(and yes, that's pronounced gif, not jif)!

This art sends Shivers up my streets.

The Witch (or VVitch?) is an excellent film, I highly recommend it, especially if you're into #history or #witchcraft!

That's my afternoon at the café, all wrapped up in the evening.

Tried using #watercolour for the first time this week, what better than Ken Sugimori's #pokemon #illustration style to emulate starting out?
May 13, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Made another #inkdrawing #illustration, this time of Deckard from #bladerunner. Classic film, with some beautiful cinematography!

Y'all know me, y'all know how I make a livin' #inkdrawing #sketch #illustrations
Seriously though, #sharks are seriously misunderstood creatures.
