🎃 a vampire, a headless horseman, and a werewolf walk into a tavern... #johnlaurens #alexanderhamilton #marquisdelafayatte

🤔 Spelling #historicallams

inspired by the time Hamilton didn’t know how to spell “galley” and asked Laurens how to spell it, but lol - he didn’t know either! So they asked his father Henry in a letter, linked here: jhoca.tumblr.com/post/7968912...

Battle of Germantown Oct. 4, 1777: Laurens participates in the Battle of Germantown. The British barricade inside Cliveden, also known as the Chew House, whose thick stone walls withstand even the bombardment of cannon...

🌧️ Just some doodles based on mid-September rainstorms; I was inspired by all the rain and flooding in my area lol. Laurens wrote to his father about it, like how his clothes were ruined by the rain, linked here: jhoca.tumblr.com/post/7957255...

⭐️ Coelestia: The Star

Rounding out the celestial trio, Lafayette: The Star! 🌟 The Star is positive, motivated, and typically represents "hope for the future" which I think suits Lafayette 💫 And now that all three of them are done, I made tarot card versions as well! #amrev #marquisdelafayette

💙 I was going for the fading, spotty, sepia-tone feeling of a dream or memory. I referred to nature trails and trees native to South Carolina for the background. You can see bonus versions + my process on instagram (with musical accompaniment)!

✍️ Lafayette invites Hamilton out to a walk or coffee break, but he’s too busy. Meanwhile Hamilton, upon realizing Laurens is going, is filled with regret.

someone once said my art reminded them of Leyendecker and I’ve been chasing that high ever since…high praise…that was my peak (yes, this was inspired by one of his works)! Leyendecker is a big inspiration to me as an artist :)
