Protip: consider processing unresolved trauma while cutting onions so you have an excuse to cry.

Roughs for the Holly King and the Oak King (the Holly King is currently gaining in his strength to its peak on the 21st, when he'll kill the Oak King, starting the seasonal cycle anew).
The direct mirroring is just to reckon on the design, they'll have slightly different looks, but still close.

Every band/artist should have an 80s "New York" album. Spare a thought for the babies of rock sax players.

I have a question…
This fine looking book publishes a 1960s newspaper strip from The Sunday Express.
They have surprisingly scanned it from the original artwork from the Express archives. I’m more use to hearing stories of artwork destroyed, not saved.
So is there more artwork in newspaper archives?

Photograph of a guy holding a poster for Cirith Ungol in his hands. He is wearing dark clothes and a green hat. In the background is a messy studio wall with a woven hanging of a bird in white on blue, a greyscale painting of a construction site, some scribbles stuck to the wall. A bookshelf with paraphernalia. In the foreground is a small warrior in a green tunic with chain maile and a wooden sword.
