Finally finished this commission for @slowwriter - yay! :D

I love this beautiful tome of #calligraphy from the 1500s, the Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta ("Wonderful Monuments of Calligraphy"). A compendium of writing styles later illuminated with #fruit and #insect drawings.

The scans are super high res but... wonky, so I decided to clean them up and post them suitable for prints. Because the public domain scans are so high res, you can get huge prints. Also mugs, stationary, stickers, puzzles, etc.

Do you believe in #magick? I don't. But I do believe the images in the Compendium Rarissimum Totius Artis Magicae are very awesome.

I decided to touch them up a bit and make them available for prints, shirts, cards, etc. Click an image to see products.

"Rare Compendium of Magic Arts"

It is sort of an early #MonsterManual

ephemeral.

Doing a thing :)

Two commissions in progress ^.^

Fin!

Finished this fun Red Dwarf commission :D

Done!

Can't really see in these pics but the green calligraphy ink has a bit of a shimmer to it too.

It's on A4 size heavyweight paper.

Edit: sold!

There, the only thing left now is all the gold.

#Recklinghausen Leuchtet hat wieder begonnen. So haben wir zum Wochenende eine erste Runde an den bunt beleuchteten Gebäuden vorbei unternommen.

Making the acanthus leaves acanthussier (no, @bean , not like that)

((Ok maybe like that))

Detailing ^.^

So much inkings

Got a migraine now XD

I'll carry on tomorrow - details and black fill between the spaces :)

How to do the leafies

Got some butts on the go

This illumination in a medieval manuscript looks like a pretty good party, actually:

Morgen Abend leuchten in der Stadt Warendorf
mit Beginn der Dämmerung in der gesamte Altstadt
nur noch die roten Bungen an den Fenstern und die vielen, mit kleinen Lämpchen beleuchteten Marienbögen anlässlich des Festes Mariä Himmelfahrt.
Diese Illumination ist ein echtes Highlight und einen Besuch wert.

Habt einen schönen Abend, ihr Lieben,
und später eine behütete Nacht!
