How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

💀The Ghostly Galliard💀

An illustration of two lesbian ghosts dancing. The left hand ghost wears a 1760s silk sack gown, the right hand wears an early 1500s style gown with puffed sleeves and a short cape with feathered beret. They are both blue and translucent.

They are in a heavily wooded and overgrown graveyard, a lone candle burning with a blue flame sits on top of a slab grave beneath them.

The illustrated border shows as follows: On top, clasping carved stone hands emerging from yew branches with berries. To the sides: tin lanterns with candles burning, carved stone hourglasses & carved stone broken columns. Beneath: Vaults based upon the Circle of Lebanon at Highgate Cemetery flanked by trees.

Aaron Bushnell literally immolated himself in broad daylight to protest the Palestinian genocide and every single person with their hands on the levers of power in this country gave a great big collective shrug and went back to business as usual

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

I fully illustrated the background separate from the ghosts, so I could get the transclucent effect I wanted. Since I went to the effort I figured it was worth showing off on its own, a long with a couple of closeups.

Prints will be available later this month :)

The previously described illustration but with the ghosts removed to fully show the background. A path winds off into a dark tunnel of trees. Among the tomb stones we see a Celtic cross, and one with a cherub carving. Far back is a statue of an angel with its arm raised. The colour palette is muted creams with dusky purples, blues and greys.

A zoomed in detail view of the background.

I'll make another post but reminder that I'm looking for work! I did pretty okay last year, but didn't really feel like it because a bunch of gigs paid late/barely on time which had a real knock-on effect, and this year's been very slow

hi #PortfolioDay - available to make otherworldly work from 2025.
TTRPGs, board games, more vinyl covers and concept + visdev stuff for games/film/tv would be cool!

illustration for Haunted Table's Triangle Agency adventure 'rom dump' - of adventurers zapping out of a barn window - a horned cyclops witha book of spells, a protagonise-looking goblin girl, a blue demon with some kind of spirit mace. A grim reaper hovers in front of the crescent moon.

Illustrated cover to the monkey man soundtrack vinyl. The monkey god hanuman opens his ribcage out, behind Dev patel's head. Hanuman's tail is a flaming circle that frames the figures, which dev patel graps. There's flame, blood, fleshy vomit.

the busts of two figures, one looks in pain, as they're having their vocal cords yanked from a hole in their throat by the other, who clutches them in a bunch with their furthest hand. With their other hand they concentratedly use a stringed instrument bow on the vocal cords. A rainbow bridges the heads, and is dotted with fantastical music notation. Their busts rest above a small basin.

a dark starry background, and a blue room where a bed sit next to windows looking out to the night sky. Psyche lies naked on a patterned bedframe amongst plants, her white hair arching around to the foot of the bed. She looks in wonder at Cupid - who is illuminated by the three candles she holds up. Cupid appears as a fleshy mass, strung within a halo, from which arrows eminate haphazardly.

The ghosts are purposefully in clothing from different centuries because they fell in love after death 👻🖤

These famed Second Style frescos from the Villa dei Misteri in #Pompeii are thought to portray a bride’s induction into an ancient mystery cult before her marriage. Given the presence of Dionysus and his retinue, many believe that cult is the Dionysian or Bacchic Mysteries. 🏺

📸 me #archaeology

The longest frescoed wall in the Hall of the Mysteries in the Villa dei Misteri in Pompeii, showing an assortment of women and mythological characters. The bride is identified by the presence of yellow clothing or drapery (referring to the yellow flammeum that a bride wears at her wedding?). The background is a rich, intense red, while a horizontal border above this long scene is made to look like fake mottled stone.

Closeup of the bride and her attendant on the opposing wall. Here, her hair has either just been let down, or the attendant is about to braid it into the complex hairstyles that Roman women preferred. She looks just to the left of us, plaintively, her left hand on top of her head, her right holding a lock of hair. She has her yellow mantle wrapped around her lower torso and legs, tied with a pale purple sash.

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.
