Anyway, here’s Hornet Silksong as a weird lil medieval guy. See below to appreciate how illuminated this piece is!

#silksong #hollowknight #cuteart

Watercolour illustration in the style of a medieval illuminated manuscript of Hornet Silksong walking through a mossy landscape wielding her needle. She is surrounded by a border of blue and gold swirls and flowers against a red background, ans the word “Shaw!” is calligraphed with an illuminated S.

the gnome ghusbands are happy to be together on a beautiful night in the woods, with a cozy fire and cuddles to keep warm.
i’m late posting this for Bonfire Day of #streamink2025 but in my defense, i had a root canal yesterday and was busy spending the day in bed and carefully eating soup

#cuteart

Bookmark design of two gnome husbands sitting by a campfire in the woods at night. The left gnome has a long salt and pepper beard and a red hat, and his husband on the right has a blonde moustache and blue hat. They are seated on a log and holding hands in front of the cozy campfire. It is a clear night, and many stars are visible above the thick forest of evergreen trees.

Crows are very intelligent birds, don’t you know. This hooded crow, for instance, has been making their very own crowberry jam.

I believe it’s the crow’s day for Stream Ink, and I love birds and wild berries, and I hope you like them too.

Watercolour painting of a hooded crow, a bird with black and white plumage and a big black beak, perched atop a jar of crowberry jam with a crowberry held in its beak.

Day 9 (belated) of Stream Ink is a beautiful Autumn day, and these little loves are Frog-and-Toading it on a tandem cycling tour, wrapped up in warm woollens and there’s a pot of tea and a plate of scones and jam waiting at the end of their journey.

#streamink2025 #cuteart #watercolour #garashir

Watercolour painting of two little guys riding a tandem bicycle on a path through the woods. The trees and shrubs are vibrant shades of red and yellow and orange and brown, with just a little hint of remaining green here and there. There are some fallen leaves dotting the path and the sky is softly overcast. The tandem bicycle is perfectly engineered. Garak is wearing a deep yellow tunic with dark brown trousers and a long burgundy scarf waving in the breeze behind him, while Julian wears a teal blue jumper and black trousers. They are in love.

I wonder if the reason I’m not a more successful artist is that I insist on making works which will appeal only to people who like Hollow Knight Silksong and people who are from Toronto. Anyway that’s why I made this a limited edition print

Watercolour illustration of Stede and Ed from Our Flag Means Death flying in an 18th century hot air balloon. The balloon has yellow and orange stripes, and Stede has short blonde hair and wears a pale blue waistcoat and white shirt and holds a small telescope. Ed holds a map and has long salt and pepper hair and a short beard. The basket of the balloon looks rather like a small pirate ship, complete with a little pegasus on the prow. The landscape is tiny beneath them and it's a beautiful blue sky day.

A few months ago, I fell down a rabbit hole looking at vintage cow creamers - a charming, if impractical to clean bit of kitchenware if ever there was one. I eventually invested in this udderly beautiful girl from Jersey, and I wanted to paint her a lovely meadow to frolic in.

#cuteart #watercolour

Watercolour painting of a very jolly jersey cow in a green field. In the distance we can see grasses and gorse in shades of pale green and yellow and purple, and the sky is dotted with little fluffy clouds. She is very happy and has pretty dark eyes and a lovely smile, and little white horns. She is wearing a golden bell tied round her neck with a pink ribbon.

This seems unnecessarily cruel. How to get the scissors out of the package when you don’t have scissors to cut the zip ties?

Day 21 of Hollow Knight Art Month is Tram Day, and this artwork is for me and maybe 4 other people specifically, but I hope you like it anyway

#hkam25 #hollowknight #toronto #publictransit #tram #cuteart #watercolour

Watercolour of Hornet from Hollow Knight riding the TTC 501 Queen Street tram (or streetcar as they’re known locally). The tram is mostly empty with red upholstery on the seats. Hornet is standing near the doors, as the next stop is Shaw Street. She is listening to music on her headphones.

Day 20 of Hollow Knight Art Month is Mask Day, and the lil guy is just here to remind the Mask Maker to have a posture check.

#hkam25 #hollowknight #cuteart #watercolour

Watercolour painting of the Mask Maker and the Knight from Hollow Knight. The Mask Maker is a big round guy in a teal poncho hunched over a worktable painting a mask with his very long arms. He looks like he’s had too much coffee.

It’s always bugged me that the 60s Spider-Man cartoons always showed the spider logo with only 6 legs and not 8. Did the 60s animators not know how to count to 8?!? (Bugged me, because, you know, it’s a spider…)

It’s Day 18 of Hollow Knight Art Month and I’d like to see Quirrel have a nice time, so he’s having a picnic with his lil pal. Plenty of sandwiches and sausage rolls and fresh fruits and delicious limited edition blue raspberry fight milk and lashings of ginger beer.

#hkam25 #hollowknight #cuteart

Watercolour of the Knight and Quirrel from Hollow Knight enjoying a picnic on the shores of Blue Lake. It is a tranquil scene, and the Knight is enjoying a sandwich while Quirrel eats a sausage roll with a glass of fight milk. There is a picnic basket between them, laden with goodies.

It’s Day 17 of Hollow Knight Art Month, and Monomon the Teacher is spending some quality time in her archives with an improving book, because I am not immune to the siren song of bookshelves I could be painting and the Dreamer prompt was as good an excuse as any

#hkam25 #hollowknight #bookshelves

Monomon the Teacher from Hollow Knight sitting in a comfortable chair and reading a book. She is a spindly character sitting with her 4 legs crossed and her blue veil draped over the sides of the chair. She is wearing reading glasses. Behind her are several shelves lined with many different books. The room is suffused with a strange green luminescence.
