ok. draw george Washington papyrus fanchild

Fuck you. I actually hate you. I want to crush your skull like a soda can being brought to the sea floor. Because I fucking drew a declarationpaper fanchild and I unironically love him.

His name is Fraktur after the "old english" font, and he is not a human, not a skeleton, but a revenant, the skeletal yet skin-bearing undead creature that Matpat theorized Sans to be in the Sans is Ness video. He's a monster, but he's an unnaturally physical one, to the point that his magic actually can't escape his body so he can only affect himself with his own magic. He only really has gravity manipulation and mostly uses it to be reaaaallly heavy, inspired by the account made by William of Newburgh in Historia Rerum Anglicarum where the revenant of a widow's husband kept visiting her bedchambers at night and crushing her with his body.

He's already unnaturally heavy though so now I'm imagining a recreation of the aforementioned where Fraktur climbs into Washington's bed at night because he had a nightmare, and proceeds to crush all of the president's bones.

Is any of his shit historically accurate? No, his getup is medieval England instead of colonial America. But maybe that kind of works, since Papyrus is an ancient-egyptian styled pseudoarchaic font and Washington is, yknow, English. Maybe that's how Font Genes work.

There ain’t no fish in this lake. (From my upcoming book I Drowned In The Summer of 85?)

I am intrigued: Why aren’t there fish in the lake? Very mysterious… I hope you like this piece of calligraphy!

this old shirt was almost in the garbage, but I decided to give it a new life! I did a tye dye with bleach. I love florence, so I designed an illustration also inspired by the art of renee magritte. do you liked it? — essa camiseta estava quase indo par ao lixo, mas decidi dar a ela uma nova vida! fiz um tye dye com água sanitária. eu amo a florence, e aí me inspirei para criar uma ilustra dela, com referências ao trabalho do renee magritte.

Around 14 hours of work, and I finished the full piece I've been working on ^_^ (sorry for bad pic quality)

I haven't done full-on calligraphy in so long, much less with this amount of water-colored parts, so this was a fun (?) project.

I'm proud of it.
