You Became The Light On The Dark Side Of Me. 🥀

He does-but-he-doesn’t want to be there. Yes, perfect, perfect song 👌 Listening to it now.

Carl’s trying (and failing) to enjoy a cup of tea in a greasy spoon on the beachfront. Who’s sitting opposite him, I wonder… 🤔

My favourite book in the whole world. Ever.

I was out and about yesterday and found a well-loved copy of ‘A Discovery of Witches’ in the local train station book swap.

⬆️ A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (p175)

Part of me wanted to leave it for someone else to discover the absolute magic (literal and figurative) of it; part of me was delighted with the connective sign from the universe and part of me grabbed it with both hands as I’ve lent my copy out and am really missing it. I delved into it straight away and got wonderfully lost for the entire train journey.

To celebrate, I edited together a little extract (p175), just for fun, which tries to capture the delectable sensory overload to be found in the writing and the show itself. Can’t really put into words how much I love it.

Dear Funko Pop,

Please will you make us a Lazaar figure (Abigail 2024) for Halloween? Here’s a mockup using Seamus Finnigan #65. Go on… it would be fun!

Thank you 🙏 🎃,

A big fan

PS I have no idea how you actually spell his name so you’ll have to work that out. 🤨

CYMB Lazar. Just ‘cos.

Used the Jake Spicer Scrawlrbox 115 and this reference image from Downton Abbey.

Lazaar ✍️

Still a work in progress but this is what I’ve managed so far today. Drawn using various brushes on Procreate - mainly from the amazing Laura H Rubin.

Also updated The Visitor on AO3 🧛❤️

Carl should be thinking about the case but instead, he’s daydreaming about his therapist. 👌

(‘Cos that’s what I got 😂) 🧛🖤

✍️ Played around with the epic FREE brush and texture sample pack from True Grit Texture Supply today. Absolutely love them. Need to learn a bit more about the style though! Swipe right for the mood board /references. You know who the characters are meant to be by now 😂

Also updated The Visitor on AO3. Chapter 6 features a playlist so hence the music vibe. Hmm, what would be on your vamp-inspired list?

“Definitely NOT daydreaming about being Joey.”

Drawn in procreate using a screenshot from ADOW for reference (see above) to go with chapter 21 - 23 of The Visitor on AO3.
