I’m so excited to reveal photos of the finished commission that I worked on last month. I was asked to make some paper art based on the promo images for the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service with a twist, and it turned out even better than I had dared hope. The final piece is 12" x 16", which was a very good size to work with. But even then, some of the smallest elements on the pens were only 1mm thick. I tried hard to capture the texture and depth that was in a piece like this, but its one of those things that you really have to see in person to believe. I think my favourite part was the filigree and crown molding. It was a last minute addition and it just made everything pop. As always, I love doing custom work. Send me a message if you’d like to discuss a special project!

So there was this poll on tumblr a while back and something you might know or not about me, is that i absolutely love the eurydice&orpheus myth, so of course that poll was great to me. And then it came back on my dash with added tags and comment and well... I couldn't help myself. I wanted to write it. And try to give it the same impact as the results from the polls.
I don't know if i succeeded, but i loved writing it anyway. hopefully, you will enjoy reading it
I would like to thank @honey-bee-britt @solrosan @insanereddragon and @oggalahad for the cheerleading and just listening to me losing my mind about this as i was writing
Also a big thank you to @artknifeandglue because it was great to know at least one person outside of my friend group was interested in reading the whole thing once it was done
If you all want to know what i listened to on repeat while writing this, go give a listen to It's Never Over (Hey Orpheus) by Arcade Fire.

Eggsy feels himself turn without meaning to.
(lies.)
He has faith, he really, really does. He truly trusts that she is behind him.
(lies again. he doubts. he is weak.)
But like almost everything he did in life, he’s fucking it up again. Even the best thing that ever happened to him, becoming a Kingsman Knight, he very nearly messed that up entirely.
(lies, lies, lies. the best thing that ever happened, it was her friendship. he hasn’t messed that up. yet.)

Eggsy feels himself turn and scrunches his eyes close even if he knows it’s already too late.
He’s failed already.
He turned to look behind.
His one chance and he messed it up
She would be so mad at him.
(lies. she would understand. she’s his best mate. she would forgive him instantly.)

Some crack we talked about years ago set in the Come Back (Home)
The Way of the House Husband
Harry would like it noted that, for once, he didn’t start it.
He had been doing his best to completely ignore the men that had been following after him for the better part of the day.
He even sent a text to Merlin about them, trusting that Kingsman would deal with whatever that was about in the next few days. It’s not anyone’s fault that the henchmen had proven themselves to be complete amateurs by deciding to act a mere hours after starting to stalk him.
Galahad my beloved 🥺
also forgot to post this before the sketchy harry hart one so yeah
a gun holster is more or less functionally the same as lingerie
put your bra back on boy we have a murder to solve
Idk if y’all realize but if u noticed that every time I draw Harry with his eyepatch sunglasses he wears a pink tie
Ties in kingsman are a status and I’m not even joking . I have never seen another kingsman agent in those movies wear that specific pink tie. Ever. A kingsman agent almost always wore the blue stripped tie.
Sometimes Harry will not wear the blue stripped tie but we all know it’s Harry Hart. And James as well (though it might be because he’s in a mission, then again, kingsman agents wear their suits with blue stripped ties anyways)
The only time I’ve ever seen that pink tie is ONLY WHEN Arthur is on screen because he wears that pink tie to symbolize that he’s the head of the organization. (You could even see it in The King’s Man where Orlando wears the pink tie and every other agent wears the blue stripped tie)
So. Whenever you see me draw Harry Hart with the pink tie, just know that he took on the mantle of Arthur (cuz he’s a fit candidate for it and the only surviving senior agent) and changed the course of Kingsman history, okay???????

#WELL FUCKING HELL. LOOKS LIKE I KNOW WHAT IM DOING NEXT DRAWING
For your consideration.
I’m so bored I need harry hart to break a glass on my head
I’m making a special post for this one. As some of you know, before I spread my wings into other things, I started out making cards for some of my favourite fandoms. Kingsman was one of those, as it’s the movie that has and continues to bring me so many friendships and connections that are very special to me. A few years back, a good friend brought me a special gift from the TGC premiere. Part of that was a Kingsman branded paper bag, and this month I was so happy to finally give it a second life as the cover for this notebook. I hope that it can find purpose and a new life with another fan. This is a one of a kind item. Now available on my website.
This is a scene which I can never watch without crying like a baby.

Because my mum went mental, banging on about losing me as well as my dad. Didn’t want me being cannon fodder for snobs like you, judging people like me from your ivory towers with no thought about why we do what we do. We ain’t got much choice. You get me? And if we was born with same silver spoon up our arses we’d do just as well as you, if not better.

No, please, I won’t say nothing, I swear. If there’s one thing I can do, it’s keep my mouth shut. Ask the Feds; I’ve never grassed anyone up.
