Here’s the illustrations I’ve done for @ladytarotcards project,

The first one is The Fool, the second is Eight of Pentacles

hmm I have a few days free, should I draw something after all 🤔 and if so, what 🤔

I've only been in England for a couple days but I already got used to non-tropical nights, wait can I go back......

[perplexingly]

About to steal Francis Drake's ship 😇

Hiiiii friend I love your Chopin/Liszt art and they live rent free in my head 🥲🥲🥲 (in fact I’m happy to pay THEM for living in my head) and are some of the best I’ve ever seen!! Do you have plans to make more I’d really love to see more great work coming from you 🥰

Maybe! Write such a sweet compliment in the tags of a reblog 🙂‍↕️ ultimately it's the presence of some fandom that motivates me to post

Alternatively, I can also add you to the commission wait list, though I don't know when I'll open them again, I'll be busy for the upcoming months

I still can't get over it,

Some of the famous people whose gravestones I could visit for free no matter how many times: Antoni Gaudi, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart (his cemetery, actual gravestone is unknown), Wyspiański (<- my favourite artist)

Some of the famous people whose gravestone I can only visit paying a pretty expensive fee per visit: Karl Marx 💀

[perplexingly]

Karl Marx would hate to know that his grave is behind a £10 paywall 😞

Here's the best merch I bought in England by far (in the Canterbury Cathedral)

[perplexingly]

Also, yesterday I dressed up nicely for the theatre, and the usher asked me if I'm cosplaying as Oliver Twist, I don't know why

[perplexingly]

I visited William Morris Gallery today :D

[perplexingly]

I'm learning lots about historical gardening during my trip! (The second picture was a plan for maximising crops during ww2)

[perplexingly]

Some of the more important signs I've seen in England so far

[perplexingly]

after living in Barcelona for some time it does feel nice to visit a cheap place for a change, like England

[perplexingly]

I visited the Kew Gardens and only took pictures of the most important sights

[perplexingly]

my condolences to anyone living in London... It is a scary place with scary people...
