Redwall - Blog Posts

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your mental health is to imagine that you're a little mouse in a children's book series who lives in a hollow tree, and spend time planning out how your home would look, and where you'd put the larder where you keep all your jars of homemade blackberry jam, and what kind of cake you'd make to bring to the party that Mr Vole is throwing on Sunday.

Hello, yes, I'd like to slam the entire 22 Redwall novels by Brian Jacques down onto the counter and then add several picture books, recipe books, and supplemental mini-series.

I would like to look the Internet at large in the eye when I say the following.

These books are an excellent way to see cruel people from their own points of view just as you can see the kind and heroic people's perspectives. It might royally piss you off, even, to realize that you have motivations in common with a scoundrel. That you will have sympathy for the power-hungry murderer. That you might mourn for a monster even as you're so glad the monster is dead.

And you're going to love these characters. You're going to love the camaraderie and the jokes and the squabbling. The coming-of-age stories and the parents seeking to protect their children. You're going to cry so fucking hard at some point, guaranteed, and it's going to feel so cleansing.

Also! Brian Jacques wrote these books with massive feasts and was particularly descriptive about taste. This is because he often volunteered to read to blind kids and became frustrated with how so many books relied on visual descriptions, so he made it a point to focus on a different sense.

I think every single book worm had that series that got them through shitty teenage years. For me that series was Tigers Curse by Colleen Houck. The series quite literly was my source of hope and joy during my early teen years. Was my lifeline. It's definitely YA and a little cringe to read as an adult but it's like a found friend that holds nothing but fond memories💙🖤.

What was your hard time book series?

Need more redwall love on this site so here are some actually redwall doodles from a while back... Firstly Mice as I was trying to figure them out, accompanied by Tagg/Deyna and Nimbalo because Taggerung is one of my favorite books! Next image is because I was revisiting Triss recently, so across the board we got Welfo, Shogg, Triss, Sagax, Scarum, and Kroova :) I'm not great yet at making the critters look distinct from one another but boy do I love drawing them!

"Good sirs, I'm called Trimp the Rover." "Marm, I'm called Ferdy an' that fat 'un's my brother Coggs, both of Redwall Abbey." Coggs snorted, pointing at Ferdy's ample stomach. "I ain't as fat as ole Ferdy, am I, miz Trimp?" She giggled. "You're as tubby as one another."

Drawing while I read the Legend of Luke, take 2 Electric Boogaloo.

SO! here it is! The roof comes off with the rafters attached; the floor for the 'ground' level is also removable--remember that this is designed to sit in about 3 inches of litter. The windows are inset so that after this is fired, I can cut and glue in little panes of stained glass.

Basil, on the phone: I realize that, but I cannot miss Cheek’s bassoon recital.

Rose: I’m not being too intense. Martin: When you’re talking about Christmas caroling, you shouldn’t have to use the term “flanking maneuver”.

I Am That Is

I made this fan cover for the first Redwall book this summer, and dammit I'm still proud of it!! I also made this alt cover to look more like the state the book was in when I first read it in my elementary school library lol

The high warm sun shone down on Cluny the Scourge. Cluny was a God of War! Cluny was coming nearer!
