I'm deeply honored to be part of the Menagerie: An Arcane Fine Art Zine last year! This was my artwork contribution for the zine 🌸

@arcanefineartzine is also doing leftover sales until May 3 or until supplies last. To those who missed the last pre-order sale this is your chance to grab a copy of the zine and remaining stocks of add-ons/goodies! 🌸

Chapter 1: Prologue

These first 6 pages were completed in Spring of 2024, as a final project for a class. I'm posting them all as one as a result, as they're a little distinct from the rest, mostly in terms of brevity and page layout. But they're important context, still! (They've also been posted other places in the past, but they're still important.)

From now on, it'll be 1 page a week. (Maybe 2, depending on the circumstances.)

have you got any photos of dragons? the one i used to ride as a kid had one and it was my favorite

hello! i’m happy to hear you have such pleasant memories, sounds like your childhood carousel served you well

historic golden age carousels didn’t dive too deep into mythical figures unless they showed relation to horses such as hippocampus carvings

among the rare few exceptions were sea dragons or sea monsters

while four-legged carousel dragons exist, sea dragons were often the only dragons carved during the early 1900s, they are very limited

i’m not sure if you’re looking for your exact dragon or if you just wanted to see some photos 🤔 one difficult thing about researching any childhood carousel is the chance that it might have become a lost carousel

if you are, i wish you luck on finding your childhood carousel dragon! thank you for the ask!
