hey, generally speaking i am pro-pirating but there is post going around with a free version of Maus by Art Spiegelman on a google doc and i am genuinely asking you all to not reblog it. Art Spiegelman is still alive. he still makes money off of Maus. and what is being monetized is his generational trauma as the son of a holocaust survivor. please either buy Maus or get it from the library (libraries also benefit the author and when more people request or check out a book it communicates to the library that they need more copies). pirating Maus is very different than pirating a marvel movie or reading a google doc of a book no longer in print. please use critical thinking.

To spread some positivity and keep myself sane I am taking part in the quarantine art challenge!! This is my piece for day 2, landscape.

If you want to see more, check out my YouTube channel.

I will be posting my art pieces there and on my Instagram. I'd love it if more people followed along with the themes!! It would be awesome to see community and creativity come out of this.

Robin McKinley writes fantasy and fairy tale retellings that are amazing

MY DUDES

Does anyone have any female written high fantasy recs?

I love fantasy as a genre, but I never read it because I’m afraid of:

“Her breasts were dainty, and her lips were full, as if they were perpetually pursed to leave a scathing review on a Yelp! Message board. ”

You know?

Any recs would be HIGHLY appreciated.

JOMP Book Photo Challenge || April 23 || Spring Time: The Chalice by Robin McKinley

[robinmckinley-rocks]

Almond milk latte, almond croissant, and my next read for @bibliophilicwitch’s tomes and tea.

It's funny, because I had thought, living through those first two months after the nights at the lake, that the great crisis was about What I Was or Who I'd Become or What Terrible Thing Was Wrong With Me (and About to Go Wronger) and Why All Was Changed As a Result. But I was still struggling against the idea that all was changed.

Over the last year and a bit since I started posting my scribbles a little more actively to the internets I’ve had several messages asking have I read Robin McKinley’s book “Beauty- a retelling of the story of beauty and the beast” and up until yesterday the answer was no.  Well not any more.  I spotted it on amazon for under five quid while doing other Christmas shopping and finally gave in and oh my goodness it was so goddamn adorable!   Thank you all who recommended it!

Quick pencil sketches and SAI.

Beauty by Robin McKinley

[robinmckinley-rocks]

It was too important a matter, this talking to people, and listening to them, to do it lightly or often.

“And if my choice is to sit graciously in my best robes and accept the inevitable or to bail a sea with a bucket, give me the bucket.”

Chalice 

[robinmckinley-rocks]

But the world turns, and even legends change; and somewhere there is a border, and sometime, perhaps, someone will decide to cross it, however well guarded its thorns may be.

With the knowledge of her aloneness came a rush of self-declaration: I will not be nothing.

One doesn't generally look into mirrors when one is especially angry; one has better things to do, like pace the floor or throw things.

The Blue Sword

“Stay a little while longer, and let everyone congratulate you - including the ones who clearly don't want to: in fact, especially the ones who clearly don't want to. You don't have to say anything but 'thank you”
