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.

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.

Medieval themed tattoo of a lady and a unicorn in vivid colours. The lady is caressing the unicorn.

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

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.

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 ).
