“Do you like to dance?”

“I don’t… know. I think I might have two left feet, honestly.”

“I highly doubt that.”

So pleased to finally share this commission for Pride Book Crate’s July box (@pridebookcrate on IG & Twitter), which was converted into both a print and a fuzzy cushion cover (which is cozy as heck, omg I love). It’s been SO exciting to see people posting their unboxings, and I’m delighted so many folks are happy with my contribution! They had requested just Arthur & Linus, so I drew inspiration from the farewell party and dressed them in a style to match the soundtrack (Nat King Cole 😭). And then, I couldn’t leave out the children, so, in the framework, you’ll find wee references to their characters. 💙

“I like being round,” Talia announced. “It means there’s more of me to love.”

“I love you, Talia,” Chauncey said, laying one of his eyes on her shoulder.

This was technically a collaboration. My 8 year-old son drew the picture of Chauncey on the refrigerator. 🥰

“When something is broken, you can put it back together. It may not fit quite the same, or work like it did once before, but that doesn’t mean it’s no longer useful.”

- Linus, The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

Special birthday art of one of our favorite scenes from THITCS for my dear @argylefetish / @penpanoply (without whom I might never have read this book)! She’s not only a handlettering master and my giveaway collaborator, but also just the most genuinely positive and warm person I’ve ever met. Like Linus, she is too precious to put into words, and I’m so grateful she’s a part of my life.

One of my favorite relationships in The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune is between sprites Zoe and Phee (the mentor and the mentee). As Arthur Parnassus’ right hand person and integral part of the Marsyas family, Zoe does her best and is universally adored. 🧚🏾‍♀️

I admittedly got a bit wibbly drawing this one. There’s something so lovely about Zoe’s dynamic with all the kids, but especially with Phee, and it hit me right in the feels.

(Linus and Arthur are coming. But first: Talia, Chauncey & Lucy! :D)

I am slowly making my way through the cast of T.J. Klune’s wonderful story, The House in the Cerulean Sea. 🥰 Meet Sal, the sensitive, sweet, and tender-hearted poet of the orphans on Marsyas. I have plans for another image when he is in his were-state, but for now, enjoy him in his element: hanging out with Theodore and cuddling Linus’s cat Calliope!

Theodore (the wyvern from T.J. Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea) demands coins for his hoard. But in the event coins are not available, he will very happily accept a shiny brass button. 😂 Drawing this adorable iridescent little dude has been the highlight of my week.

Y’all, I’m in love with this novel. If you haven’t read it yet, please move it to the top of your list. It’s compassionate and healing and kind and romantic (and queer), and by God, more art from this book is coming. ❤️

can you imagine how freaky shark mermaids would be like unlike sharks, shark mermaids would have actual arms/hands and could rely on touching things with their hands to see if they’re prey rather than having to bite like sharks do. like youre just swimming in the ocean and suddenly you feel a strong grip on your leg, you freak the FUCK out because uh what????? the fuck??? youre swimming alone in the ocean??

a head pops out of the water, dorsal fin pointed from its back and it just points at you and says in a low whisper: “i thought you were a seal. please dont swim alone like this, im sorry i scared you i just wanted to see what you are” and then disappears back into the depth. what the fuck.

This showed up in my “On this day” today and everytime I see it, even after all these years, it makes me so, so happy <3.

I’ve had this book since it came out. 11 years. Since I got it, I’ve dreamed about having it signed… And that dream came true in March, when I got this as an early birthday gift and whenever I feel bad, I look at this. Whenever I am getting worse, I remember meeting him and what he told me. Thank you for everything, @lewishamilton ❤ #lewishamilton #lh44 #teamlh #f1 #formula1 #formulaone #mystory #signature #autograph #biography #hemadesuretospellmynamecorrectly #heissogood #mychamp #44
