a place I don't belong
two paintings, arranged one on top of the other: ilya stands at twilight, a sliver of moon in the sky. he looks at the viewer with a troubled expression. the sun glints across the clouds and the space elevator behind. thierry stands just at dawn. the sun lightens the sky and glints across the tops of a sunflower field and thierry's hair. thierry looks away and down from the viewer.

the mountains tried their best to claim me but I have returned from Skate America. worth it
View out of the side windows at the Olympic Center in Lake Placid. The olympic rings on the building are visible in front of the walk of flags, with a vista of the mountains behind jason brown at the start of his short program starr andrews mid-spin the winners of the men's competition, from the back with their flags in hand. because I sucked at getting any good shots of Kevin. but rest assured the entire price tag of the event was worth it to see Kevin finally get his GP win

T&I: Perfume Edition
Thierry & Ilya as their perfumes: L'Eau D'Hiver & Ganymede. Even the bottles themselves are somewhat reminiscent of them

02.11 happy birthday, Ilya!
An illustration of Ilya done up like a fan edit might be, in heavy xerox-style contrasts and heavy saturation. The original photo would have been him fresh out of his car after a race, celebrating a win with his fist in the air, helmet still on.

my f1 hot take is they should go back to setting up the tires somewhere on the track for the introduction of the tire compounds
screenshot of the tires out in front of the bull sculpture at the red bull ring the tires on the heavily banked curve at zandvoort absolutely picturesque tires at imola, with seeds flowing by in the wind tires on the street at baku with the flame towers visible in the distance at the end of the straight

Hard at work on DOWNFORCE, a graphic novel series with Inklore. A near-future, F1-racing-inspired BL following Ilya, a promising rookie from the moon colony as he falls for his biggest rival Thierry, a wild hotshot.

Stick around to see all the bonus illustrations I make for them in my free time 🏁🏎️🏎️
A faux poster for the Czech Grand Prix, 2056. Looming large over the scene are profiles of Ilya and Thierry, facing away from one another. In the background can be seen their intensity within their racing helmets in faded profile, while across the front race their two cars along the racetrack. Introductory profiles for Thierry and Ilya, with more statistics than is even possible for me to write here. A fashion magazine cover for Thierry, all in deep blue. It's from early in the season and the main article tease is titled "FIRE & ICE: Thierry Koskunen on a fresh start at Vulkan." Thierry lounges on what is maybe a couch, or perhaps a floor (it's really a conversation pit) with his shirt open and jewelry glinting everywhere. A men's lifestyle magazine cover for Ilya, sharp light highlighting him from above against a dark background. It's a mid-season release, with the main article headline reading, "Ilya Levan: DARK HORSE. Meet Koskunen's biggest nightmare." Ilya stands with a quiet intensity in a chrome bomber jacket, black leather gloves, and his helmet in hand for the photo shoot.

guess who spent too much god damn money at the zine fest
20 zines all laid out on the floor. I think my personal winner is "how to be bad at baseball". I wish I had that in my hands before I had quit as a kid.

some sketches that slipped through the cracks
Ilya on guitar and Thierry on bass in a sketch dedicated to "Time & Place" (a QotSA song of theirs). They're butting heads, literally. Thierry and Juho walk together in the back paddock, Thierry explaining something with his hands about driving to Juho. Juho and Thierry sit down to lunch at one of the tiny hospitality tables. Juho shows Thierry something on his phone. Ilya, in horse riding gear, pulls out the chin straps from inside his riding helmet.

Commission for @revlie.bsky.social of their Taz 🏁🌸
Taz lays back in whitespace, in a loose top and fashionable patchwork pants. One of his checkered moto shoes is just in frame. His jewelry-covered hands hold a drink next to him, as he peers up cheekily through his glasses, hair held back by a sweatband. He's clearly off work today. Work being subjective, of course.

[CRASH DESIRE]
Thierry stands shirtless, arms outstretched as he looks down into a deep red glow below him. He seems like he might be falling, or thinking about it.

it's my birthday so you have to be nice to me and help show everyone these pictures of my boys
A big faux poster for the 2056 Czech Grand Prix that features Thierry and Ilya's profiles above their cars, racing against each other in the forefront of the scene. Thierry & Ilya are dancing somewhere at a black tie event. Ilya's lost his suit jacket along the way and Thierry is a little drunk as he holds a glass high. Thierry lifts Ilya off the ground by wrapping his arms around his waist, grinning hugely at the camera like he's showing off a little. Ilya's laughing in surprise. Thierry contemplates Ilya's sleeping form next to him in bed, as a strip of sunlight through the window hits just across Ilya's hair.

The preview's kinda garbage so here's the samples ✌️
Remember these? Now you can get your own!
I've posted these twice before already so I'll just keep it short: Ilya features on a faux men's lifestyle magazine cover with a shiny jacket, leather gloves, and his racing helmet. Thierry on a fashion magazine cover in deep blue hue, laying down with his shirt unbuttoned and untucked. Jewelry abounds.

A sketchy portrait of Ilya, smiling widely while lifting a fan gift of heart-shaped sunglasses off his head that are embellished with beads, bird charms, and his name and number in alphabet beads.
