Ink and inkwash art showing Edwin pinned to the floor by Charles who is lying on top of him. The fingers of their visible hands are entwined and they are gazing into each other’s eyes. Charles is smirking, Edwin is looking defiant. Charles is wearing dark trousers and a white undershirt, Edwin is usual pinstriped trousers, shirt and woollen sleeveless jumper. His sleeves are rolled up.

•eight watercolour backgrounds (which will be animated) for one my school’s musical productions (Peter Pan)

• drawings for several #DeadBoyDetectives fandom events

I work on several watercolours at the same time: while one is drying, I continue with another.

Photo of a table seen from above with watercolour artworks in various stations of completion as well as pencil and ink drawings of different sizes spread across it.

This Easter break, I’ve been on something of a painting spree because I’ve got lots of art projects to finish this month:

• six new Tolkien illustrations (two are done) for a book about the History of the Elves to be published by Legendaria Ediciones

Photo of a plate with various Easter themed biscuits. Some are decorated with chocolate and multicoloured sprinkles, others with pale-green icing. Some are plain.

Was given some homemade Easter biscuits. The greenish icing seems to incorporate two of my fandoms: it could stand for Bluebell, the glow-in-the-dark rabbit from BBC Sherlock, or for the ectoplasm from the exploding head ghost the #DeadBoyDetectives are doused with in episode three.

George is running in the London Landmarks Half Marathon exactly one week from today! 💙

Wide shot of a pond surrounded by trees. A wooden door stands on a moss-grown jetty leading into the water.

Closer view of the door and the jetty with trees in the background.

Close-up of the lock on the door. The jetty and emerald green pondwater can be seen through a gap in the wooden planks the door is made of.

View of the pond from the other side, shot from between two large, moss-grown treetrunks.

Cycled past a pond near Donsbach yesterday. The greenish water and the weird door with the rickety jetty behind it made it look a bit haunted. Good thing the door was locked. Bet the jetty leads right in to Faerie ...

Landscape orientation watercolour depicting, in the foreground, a row of soldiers in medieval armour with winged helmets and hauberks holding spears with black banners with silver stars on them blowing in the wind. On a bridge with towers, a group of people is taking leave. One of them wears a winged helmet as a crown. In the background are more buildings reminiscent of Romanesque architecture.

The purples and especially the pinks got me in the end. Greys, blues, greens are all fine, those screenshots, too, even on a slightly reflective display. Before the final three (all pinks/purples), my score was at 0.000013. Ended up slightly over 20.
