I know that writing commissions aren’t in vogue, but if that’s something that anyone is interested in, please do message me and we can discuss it! I write poetry on this blog, but I’m a versatile writer who’s happy to work with short stories, fanfiction, original character work– and probably other things that I haven’t thought to list here! If you like, I’m always happy to provide links to my work in other styles so that you can get an idea of what that work might look like. 

If you wouldn’t like to commission, but you would like to support this blog, please consider donating to my KoFi (here!) There’s absolutely no pressure, but I am as always, hugely appreciative of those who choose to help me make my art.

As the holiday season comes around, reminder that I do offer commissions! They're very reasonably priced- 10$ for a poem, with discounts available for more. If you're looking for a nice custom gift for a friend, family member, or romantic other, poems are a really lovely gesture!

I also have zines available both digitally and physically at my kofi store- check them out if you're interested in owning a bit of darkearths!

It’s time! Alchemy in the Dark Earth, a zine about change, struggle, and the painstaking claw towards the light, is available now on itch.io! You can find it here! The zine will be pay what you want– I’ve set a suggested donation of £5, but as ever, the content I make here is available to everyone! 

I hope all of you enjoy this piece; it’s given me a lot to think about as I’ve worked on it, and it feels like some of the most honest work I’ve done in the last few years. I hope you can find something in it too!

As a special promotional event for the day, if you read the zine and send me an ask with your favorite page + your name, I’ll write a little piece just for you! Let me know what you think, what you feel, what stuck out to you as weird or relatable or awful, whatever!

Have fun!

BLM & Protest Support – Free Commissions!

Hi guys! I’m sure you’re all aware of the protests taking place across America in response to the overwhelming police brutality and systematic violence towards black people demonstrated most recently in the murder of George Floyd. Although I live overseas and can’t march with those risking their safety right now to have their voices heard, I do want to support them however I can! So in addition to my own donation towards the Brooklyn Bail Fund I’m offering free poetry and sketch commissions to anyone who donates more than $5 to a Black Lives Matter, or protest-associated cause.

What causes should you donate to? Here are a few suggestions, and certainly not an exhaustive list!

Act Blue will split your donation between 37 bail funds across the country

Black Lives Matter

Find a local bail fund and support your community

Support poc-owned business affected by the protests in Minnesota (note: links to tumblr post with further links)

What commissions am I offering?

For $5!

Simple paper sketch, to full body/ digital bust, lineart only

One poem like above

$10

Complex paper sketch/ full body digital, lineart only

Two poems like above

$20

Complex paper sketch, multiple characters

Digital + color, simple shading

Five poems like above

> $20

Message me and we’ll chat! I’m a bit tight for time right now, but if you’re willing to wait around a week, I can start in on something more complex like the final piece above

How to get your commission?

Message me with a screenshot of your donation confirmation with the name of the organization + the donation amount +the date

Do cover up your personal details, though– you’re entitled to your privacy!

Let me know what type of commission you’d like, and what you’d like it to look like! I’m afraid I can’t promise revisions right now, but I’ll do my best to get things to you quick and quality!

Send me any references that you think will help!

I reserve the right to reject any request I find inappropriate, including (but not limited to) nsfw.

Feel free to send in any donations you’ve already sent out! It’s a time for all of us to stand with the black community as they fight for their right to live in dignity and safety.

my favourite wikipedia article is the middle english article about frogges

[king-monky]

“A frogge ben a wee beeſt wiþ foure legges, þe whiche liveþ boþ in water and on lond. He ben broun or grene or yelwe, or if he be tropical, he may be dyuers coloures. He haþ longis and gylles boþ. He haccheþ fro an ei and he þen be a tadpolle. He groweþ to be a frogge, if he be nat eton.”

nothing makes me laugh like “if he be nat eton”
