Ooooooooh, @ave-puella added some closeups!  

A present I made for my dear friend @ave-puella.  You may recognize it as a short Temeraire fic she posted a little while back.  It’s done entirely by hand, and was my first time attempting borders and illumination.  I’m still figuring out gold leaf, but it was super fun to work with (there’s also some gold work on the border of the third page).  For those of you unfamiliar with the Temeraire universe, there are dragons, hence the second page border.

It was a heck of a lot of work, but was entirely worth it for her face and incredulous ‘what did you do?!’

Chi-rho page from the Book of St Chad, which dates from circa AD 730. It contains some of the earliest evidence of the Welsh language in written form

Happy New Year everyone. Thank you so much to you all for taking an interest in my work. Over 3.9 million likes on 192 posts on @instagram in 2015. Over 1.4 million accounts following me across social media. Such big plans for my art career in 2016. It is daunting but I’m going to give it everything I’ve got. I hope 2016 is a great year for all of you. #2015bestnine #seblester #thankyou

I think the CD is a shield.

My Christmas card from @goddamnshinyrock just arrived and I’m so happy omg

Codex Callistius, a 12th century “travel guide” to Santiago di Compostela. 

I’m almost entirely on board for this, but what about Christmas in Prison by John Prine?  Knowing who you live with I don’t think that’s one you can escape (plus it’s an amazing song)

List of Christmas songs that are acceptable in my household:

Fairytale of New York by the Pogues

that’s it.  that’s the only one.

This game is about bird lawyers in revolutionary france and thus is squarely at a major intersection of interests for like
