✷ FAQ ✷

▸ what programs / tools do you use ? i mainly work in adobe photoshop cc, using a huion kamvas 16 (2021) pen display. ( current brush ) ▸ can i use your work for my ___ ? – icon / banner : yes, as long as it is not someone else’s commission. ask if unsure. you must credit me in your bio / desc / pinned post. – phone / pc wallpaper : yes ofc, no need to ask ! – rp faceclaims / graphics : character-dependent, please check with me first. ▸ are you taking commissions ? no, my commissions are closed indefinitely for now. this is mainly due to my fulltime job taking up most of my time so i'd like to focus on personal art in the little spare time i have. for friends & mutuals, i am willing to take on limited commissions if i have some downtime – just ask ! ▸ do you take requests ? not at the moment, but i may from time to time ask for some. i don’t mind the occasional suggestion though ! ▸ do you do art trades ? mutuals preferred, but dm me ! it will ultimately depend on my current workload ▸ do you mind if i like/reblog a lot of your posts at once ? like / reblog spam to your heart’s content !! it doesn’t bother me at all :)

it's slipping time!! out of the water for some tlc <3

[skltart]

but if i'm atlas and you're atlas then who's running the er??

[nohtora]

in what's new, i started learning sailmaking over the last few months!! we've been working on 2 new flax-canvas sails for the ship, using a combination of machine + hand sewing.

all the panels are stitched together using this lovely early 1900s class 7-5 singer, and then we'll eventually hand-stitch the bolt rope & all the grommets. we haven't gotten as far as we'd like bc we've been busy with our big relocation, but it's so cool seeing it all come together :')

i've been making my own ditty bag as practice too, which covers most of the traditional techniques for hand sewing sails :D

this past year, you would have seen me posting about my beloved little tall ship, schooner enterprize. the ship and all the wonderful people who crew her have come to mean so much in my life.

for those who don't know her - enterprize is a 28-year old replica topsail schooner, one of the few traditionally rigged & maintained tall ships in the southern hemisphere, and crewed entirely by volunteers. she exists to provide the experience of traditional seamanship to the public, as well as giving young people the opportunity to grow and challenge themselves on our youth development voyages.

in a little over 2 months, we face eviction from our home berth in docklands, melbourne and the ship (along with the rest of melbourne's heritage fleet) now must find a new home, classroom & workshop.

help us keep the wind in our sails !
