Some marginalia do not need a caption save it's "A chicken riding a goat and jousting with a flower."

LIke many of the marginalia I find, the poster did not cite the manuscript.

Some recent work - a rework of an older piece. I don’t do a ton of cover-ups, since they often don’t work well in my primarily Celtic art style. This one was a fun challenge. Old knotwork integrated into a fresh illuminated style scene with tree, hounds, ravens and books signifying their family and shared interests.
Made at Ritual Tattoo Berkeley.
