happy sailout day ⚓️

i recently took to relearning embroidery stitches and i’m quite pleased with this one!! i printed and traced the bottom of the james fitzjames letter he sent to elizabeth coningham john barrow (thank you @jamesfitzjamesdotcomand) and kept the last line which feels poignant.

next time i think i’d try to make the lettering bigger so the strokes are smoother. and make armfish’s bicep just a wee bit less hench.

Today I learned that in a letter, James Fitzjames drew this little guy and my life is now irrefutably changed

absolute art

While armfish is the star of this drawing, I also think about how Fitzjames sent John Barrow a half-naked selfportrait...

A quick in and out lineart tribute for my boys.

My lovely tattoo artist/brother in law (having zero context for the expedition/show/book) pointed out that James and John both have hats that look like bellends and now I can’t unsee it - he asked if he should flatten them out on top and I was like, nah, they’re both absolute knobheads (who I love dearly) so it’s fitting 🤣

With these three new pieces I’m at 12 tatts and counting! Might be time to get the shins done next - maybe Terror and Erebus in the pack? 🤔
