Turns out my procrastination is stronger than my motivation to actually do the things I'm supposed to do, at least this beauty came out of it!
A WIP I will never have time to color, unfortunately, but I would love to explore this style further and make a companion piece to it. We'll see if life lets me do it !
If they want to adapt any more delightfully queer web comics into tv series might a suggest
Daydreaming about getting my nose pierced, getting really buff and getting more tattoos !!!

I don't really know how to post my lino prints and designs on here. Difficult to scan bigger than A4 format pieces. Maybe some well shot pictures ?
Reminds me of one of my favorite poems by Jack Gilbert called 'Failing and flying'.
"Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew.
It's the same when love comes to an end,
or the marriage fails and people say
they knew it was a mistake, that everybody
said it would never work. That she was
old enough to know better. But anything
worth doing is worth doing badly.
Like being there by that summer ocean
on the other side of the island while
love was fading out of her, the stars
burning so extravagantly those nights that
anyone could tell you they would never last.
Every morning she was asleep in my bed
like a visitation, the gentleness in her
like antelope standing in the dawn mist.
Each afternoon I watched her coming back
through the hot stony field after swimming,
the sea light behind her and the huge sky
on the other side of that. Listened to her
while we ate lunch. How can they say
the marriage failed? Like the people who
came back from Provence (when it was Provence)
and said it was pretty but the food was greasy.
I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,
but just coming to the end of his triumph."
I think everyone should remember that : anything worth doing is worth doing badly
I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.
Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.
The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.
I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.
I am watching the gay pirate show, and I am trying very hard not to let it take over my life, but like Sisyphus, it's a task I attempt knowing I will fail
anyway I’m feelin out the sadness
"Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me anymore. It belongs to you." Neil Gaiman, Stardust.
✨ I've loved this movie every 20 times I watched it, and I can only love it more. This scene redraw took time, but I like how it turned out. Tristan and Yvaine, happy together, for a long while...
Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours ! 💕
Hi. I'm Ene and I draw things. Sometimes it's frogs, sometimes it's people, other times it's my every day anxieties. Most of the time, I don't draw at all.
