They haven't left my brain for years and I don't think they're going to anytime soon.

IT IS FINISHEEDDDDD!!!
Fronds. Fronds, please understand that this book saved my life in 2022, and I am SO PROUD that the cover turned out EXACTLY how I wanted. It took me two tries (always check that your ink is permanent 🙃) but I love it so much.
If you have not read THE WATCHMAKER OF FILIGREE STREET by Natasha Pulley, and you like soft, historical love stories with hints of magic and clockwork octopi, I highly recommend.

I’ve been trying to draw this bloody little watchmaker for years. For anyone who’s read Natasha Pulley’s Watchmaker of Filigree Street, I hope you recognise this as the precise moment Thaniel decides what to do on his wedding night✨
I can’t recommend these novels enough. They’re fucking magic.

"The stories are all remarkably similar. They all seem to describe a person, and not an actual god. They're all tricksters - you never get what you expect from them. And, they are always attended by owls."― Natasha Pulley, The Lost Future of Pepperharrow
Recently reread this and annotated it, which was a lot of fun. Keita Mori is still such a fun character to read about, I had to do a mock cover.

Our campaign to demonstrate that Space Is Really Gay continues apace!
Gollancz describes the novel as a “profoundly beautiful sci-fi romance exploring climate collapse, prejudice, privilege, class, and queer love through the prescient lens of a ballerina turned refugee fleeing an environmentally devastated Earth and an enigmatic Martian politician embroiled in a political crisis who agree to a fake marriage after a media encounter torpedoes both their reputations".

hey chat you ever think about "She will make you much less than you should be, if you aren’t careful. I don’t mean you won’t be happy. But you will be small."

Thaniel canonically being a disrespectful motherfucker means so much to me. This man walked into Spindle’s shop, grabbed him by the fuckin shirt, and slammed his face into his workbench without a word. Was he supposed to be there??? Absolutely not, but since when does that matter??? He looked Grace dead in her face and told the stupidest lie he could think of fully expecting her to get pissy and leave. New boss??? Not one ounce of respect, in fact he WILL make fun of him at any given opportunity. Has on multiple occasions screamed and swore at Willis for doing his job. Would absolutely smack the shit out of the Japanese prime minister. Any kind of arrest means nothing. He’s just That Girl. It’s just so easy to forget bc he only ever focuses on Mori and he loves and respects him too much to be a prick to him.
