a little letterpress print from earlier this spring. this was my first multi-line project with metal type, and it was a doozy! 😀 words by me, hand set in 10pt. font and printed with litho ink on cotton paper <3

#i wish i had more fanart to post on this account but i've been making sooo many prints for my coursework this sem #more to come? if you are interested #printmaking #letterpress #artists on tumblr #writing #words

There were people, he thought, whose umbilicus had never been cut. They had never been weaned from the universe.

- Ursula K Le Guin, The Dispossessed

soooo recently i read The Dispossessed and became absolutely obsessed with the way the book merges astrophysics and human philosophy. that quote just stuck in my head, and became the inspiration for this series of monoprints, which i've titled "The Umbilicus of the Universe". monoprinting is a lot of fun and i loved making getting emotional about humanity and space and Ursula K Le Guin!

#sorry to come back on here just to post original art but... i likie these #stencil printing and i have a love hate relationship... we'll see how my final goes #printmaking #monoprint #ursula k le guin #the dispossessed

He said lamely, "She is very beautiful." "And she has the sense not to frighten you," Dach'osmin Ceredin said, and Maia took a step back, wanting to protest her deduction, but unable to deny its truth. "We should take lessons from her, we see."

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison is one of my favorite books of all time, and within it, one of my favorite scenes is Maia and Csethiro's first real interaction at Nurevis' party! so i drew it. their slow romance is so delicious.

The next day, Jonathan would have liked to spend peacefully at the town house -- partly to recuperate from the strain of socializing in such a large crowd, partly for the chance to remember Miss Tilney whispering the English translations of various love songs into his ear.

anyone else currently obsessed with Claudia Gray's jane austen spinoff murder mystery novels or is that just me 😀

#jane austen #claudia gray #the rushworth family plot #they BETTER hold hands by the end of this book or else im gonna RIOT!!!!!#the embroidery hoop scene... oh they're so touch starved it's insane. regency era was insane actually.

in other news, i made a booklet about orion the hunter for a studio class. linocut print on bristol board. text by me. :-)

#irl this is an accordion book but i dont have bookbinding skills so it's shitty looking 🤩#greek mythology #poetry #linocut #printmaking #bookmaking #i always forget how to tag original stuff on here. like erm. sorry guys this one isnt obscure fantasy novel fanart.

Oh, Fitz, I always imagined that, had I the chance, I could show you off as befitted you. And look at you.

#i worked on this for longer than i would like to admit #rote #assassin's apprentice #fitzchivalry farseer #in case you forgot immediately after that line fitz spends a paragraph talking about how he looks like the portrait of chivalry in buckkeep #mayhaps a.... spiritual successor of sorts.... to that other fitz/chivalry piece that people like so much

fuck………. I fucked up…… fitz’s eyes are canonically brown…….. i was blinded by the blue theme…….. forgive me rote nation😔

#like the farseer color is just blue…. chivalry….. burrich’s earring…… the dark misty keep on the edge of the sea…….

who up fitzchivalrying their farseer

#i've started reading fool's errand people. we're so back.#YOU COULD HAVE MATTERED. BUT YOU CHOSE THIS. REMEMBER THAT. YOU CHOSE THIS. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!#rote #assassin's apprentice #robin hobb #he does not look as beefy as i would like in this. i feel like 35 year old fitz has some meat on his bones. but whatever.

i love my friend sir welly and her many weapons <33

#naddpod #naddpod fanart #welly hamdam #i drew this while watching that pinball movie where mike faist has an insane moustache

Found you because of your amazing realm of the elderling posts, just wanted to ask if you have started the tawny man trilogy? If so will you be posting fanart of it?

first of all, thank you so so much!! my farseer trilogy fanart is still some of my favorite stuff i've made in the past year. for such a long standing fandom i'm always so happy that my newcomer interpretations are liked ☺️

i have not started tawny man yet, but i hope to soon! tbh i wanted to take a break from rote after finishing liveship traders. like it was incredible but it was A Lot. a lot. but now i'm feeling the itch for fitz, as it were. once i make it through the stack of books on my nightstand i am heading straight to the bookstore to pick fool's errand up.

and YES!! i will probably post fanart. those characters eat at me like brain worms.

#sorry this was a longer answer than necessary. but what can i say. i love answering asks.#asks
