A Thanksgiving gift from me to you. Of the many things I’m thankful for, I’m so grateful to have discovered @rainbowrowell’s Carry On and this amazing community. I hope you enjoy this series. It feels a bit personal for me, as there’s a bit of me in every expression on the page. So consider yourself seduced. ;)

Title: “Cross Every Line”

Description: The final scene of Chapter 64 from Carry On, in which Baz resists Simon - to no avail.

About the Art: I tried to use the sentence “I’d cross every line for him” as inspiration for this series. Throughout the comic, you’ll notice Baz’s inner monologue slicing through the panels as a means to demonstrate the power of Baz’s feelings for Simon against Baz’s facade. Hence, his thoughts cross lines all over the place. The panels themselves eventually succumb to this motif, with his memories of the night before cutting in so dramatically, they take up the bulk of the spread. The final spread pushes this theme to a resolution as Simon and Baz’s embrace is splayed across two panels, ending with both of them sharing the final panel together - and unlike all the other monologue boxes, which cut into the panels, Baz’s declaration of love is smack in the panel beside them.

I made sure to chronicle this process, so I hope to have that to share with you guys next week. Also, I know there are asks waiting in my inbox - I promise to get to them soon. :)

In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving, American friends. And happy November to the rest of you.

Go figure this image would be shared nearly 1400 times before I realize I posted a slightly unfinished panel! aaweiofjaoweifhagfjskl!!

This is the fixed version. (Simon’s collar was slightly “under-done” in the 4th spread and missing the green stripe. But not anymore!)

OMG, I’m so thrilled and humbled by everyone’s response to this series. Thank you guys so much. I am dancing. <3

When @penpanoply put this slice of happiness in my Dropbox, it utterly made my week. We had talked about pairing art from my “A Boy In My Arms” series with her hand lettering but I didn’t have the foggiest idea what to recommend. This is what she pulled together. I’m always so honored to have her beautiful handwritten words overlaid on my artwork. <3

I kinda feel like the clock is ticking to get as much Carry On canon art out the hatch as humanly possible between now and Wayward Son. Because as soon as the sequel is out… Well, you know.

Baz grins, then leans over and kisses my neck. (I have a mole there. He treats it like a target.)

(Surprise under the cut.)
