  1. I just keep returning to these lil guys and their lil cabin on a lil lake in Québec. They go on lil adventures here and there, but it’s nice to bring them home, to the lakeshore down the steps from the porch, where they swim some mornings when the weather is good, or just look out across the lake to the trees and mountains beyond.

  2. Day 22 of #streamink2024 is Cottage Day, and I’m thinking of this cozy, rustic little home on the shore of Lac Escalier, where these two lil guys like to start the day with a really good cup of coffee.
    Thanks so much to Hayley twitch.tv/hey_itshayley for the prompt!

  3. You know those secondhand bookstores that seem to contain so many more shelves of wonders than you would have ever thought possible? These lil guys have been exploring for hours, but don’t worry - they’re intrepid adventurers, and they’ll find their way when they’re ready. This took me a month to paint because of just how packed with books is, and because I like it quite a bit, I made it a print!

  4. 🎉 AUTUMN SHOP UPDATE 🎉

    I am so excited to share all these whimsical new goods with you! We have stickers and prints and (for the very first time) bookmarks! We have vampires and werewolves and birds and pirates and books and cryptids and lots of queer stuff! I really hope you'll like it, and I'm so grateful for your support x

  5. Shoutout to me for mixing this watercolour set with cobalt turquoise. This first piece with this palette was a fun exercise in figuring out how the heck to paint rocks and waterfalls, and also whether it’s within twitch’s rules to paint this level of artistic birthday suit. In my defense, you can’t see their doodles, but they weren’t expecting to find a perfect, beautiful pool of pristine water in their travels and hadn’t brought any trunks.

  6. Sometimes a fever dream of an idea grabs you by the lapels and will not let you go until you paint it. That’s what happened with Baba Yaga station. Torontonians may recognise that it's is inspired by Spadina station, which used to be a house, and was enough of a significant building that they just built a subway entrance directly into it. I’m pretty sure the upper portion of the building is still a habitable home. Wacky!

  7. It’s hotter than the depths of Heck here in Englandshire this week, so pardon me if I find myself waxing nostalgical about the brisk and bracing breeze of a good winter evening right at blue hour. This piece is a print in my shop if you also want to live vicariously through these fellows, on their way to snuggle down under a comfy duvet, and not starfish in front of an electric fan with too much of a headache to sleep 😭

  8. I’ve been so nervous about posting this because it took a very long time to paint - getting all those tiny books painted was about 16 hours over a month? I just wanted to send these two on a date to a bookshop where every mismatched shelf is packed full of every conceivable book you might be looking for, and there are plenty of quiet corners among the wiggidy-wonky stacks to hide and quietly thumb through a comprehensive guide to local birds, or have a little cuddle.

  10. Have I mentioned here that I have an inprnt shop? It's where a lot of my pirate and pirate-adjacent works live, if that's your thing!

  11. It's a beautiful winter's day, and Nigel and Antwan here have decided to actually do some mountain stuff, since they live by the mountains. But skiing doesn't allow for nearly as many cuddles as sharing a toboggan, so...

  12. get a load of these lil guys zippity zooming down the mountain! come watch me paint them (and several hundred distant trees on the landscape)

    (I can’t get alt text to work on my phone, image is an unfinished watercolour of two people tobogganing down a hill)

  13. They just got off an 18 hour flight, and the hotel check in isn't for another three hours, so they settled in at a nearby coffee shop… and immediately dozed off together.

  14. Tested out my gorgeous new neon ink set by letting these lil guys check into their sweet little boutique hotel at sunset. I think this picture just about captures how wild and vibrant these inks are in real life!

  15. It’s blue hour, that extra special time of a winter’s eve where the sun’s gone down and everything is bathed in deepest blue, but for the golden glow of the little lights of the city. Where could these two be going, I wonder? I think they’ve been out for a busy day of adventuring, heading back to their hotel, hand in hand.

  16. This art let me bring together two of my very favourite things (cute public transit stations and putting lil guys in situations) and that made me so happy that I made it a print. Isn’t Maida Vale station pretty?

  17. Day 24 of Stream Ink is Ramen Shop!
    These lil guys are having a lovely meal at this cozy little spot they happened upon in their travels.

  18. So I was on schedule to post a new chapter of Flightless Birds tomorrow night, but in light of certain announcements, I'm going to go ahead and defer it by a week, so as not to steal the Pirate Programme's thunder.

    The good news is there's plenty of time to get caught up before the penultimate chapter of this thing drops I guess:

    (And here I literally just dropped £40 on Kiwi lollies in research for the... sequel?)

  19. Enjoyers of pirate-adjacent content, if you're looking for some shenanigans and emotions featuring two characters from two different cinematic universes who simply belong together, look no further than Flightless Birds of Parc National du Mont-Tremblant. It's on chapter 21 of 23 and the author is going to be very sad when it finishes posting, because my goodness, what a wild ride it's been.

    (idk how to tag this for maximum reach because it's so niche)

  20. I loved painting these lil guys outside Maida Vale station, one of my favourite stations in London. Maybe they’ll go to the bakery for a coffee and cake, or maybe some lovely fruit from the greengrocers for a picnic in the park. Whatever they get up to on their adventure, I’m sure it will be a lovely day.

  21. Hello pirate enjoyers! Got a little nugget for #WIPpiesWednesday from Flightless Birds of Parc National du Mont-Tremblant - while it isn't pirates, it *is* very pirate-adjacent, and it's my longest ongoing thing to date. This passage actually comes from an earlier chapter, as we're quite a ways into it, and just in case you haven't been reading along, I wouldn't want to spoiler too much.

  22. Anybody else meticulously curate playlists for everything they write? This was in such heavy rotation since I started writing Flightless Birds back last autumn that my most played artists were just... this soundtrack

    Anyway I just posted chapter 17 of this pirate-adjacent magnum opus and you should tell your friends if you're enjoying it:

  23. Enjoy your inaugural #NPCEO post: I procrastinated on this piece for SO LONG because I didn't want to ruin Antwan and Nigel's lil faces when I finally painted everything in. I hope I did them justice.

    Pirate enjoyers, this link is for you alone. It's an illustration for this; I hear the author's really cool: archiveofourown.org/works/4579
