Blimunda - Baltasar and Blimunda (Memorial do Convento), by José Saramago

an illustration for Ladies of Literature Vol.2 - ladiesofliterature

Blimunda (a.k.a. Seven-Moons) has the ability to see people (and everything else) on the inside. She’s one of three protagonists, and they’re trying to build a flying contraption in 18th century Portugal during Inquisition. Bartolomeu, the “brains” of the operation, figures out there’s something inside people - “human wills”- which are necessary to lift their contraption. And it turns out Blimunda has the power to capture those into a jar as they leave the body of dying or desperate people - so she sets off to Lisbon as a plague spreads.

My favourite character from the only required reading book I truly enjoyed in secondary school. I was tempted to pick a more international or trendier character for this anthology, but… this felt right.

From my fire escape

“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more

THIS IS SO COOL

The Faerie Journalist ✨

a piece inspired by my favorite Norman Rockwell painting “girl running with wet canvas” ft. my good time girl Aiva, and a Yew tree Faerie.

Yogi. He haunts my dresser drawer but I take him out annually to harass people on my birthday. When your hand is snug inside his fleshy plastic form, your fingers secrete the human salts the longer you spend inside him. He reaps the benefits with a smile. 

some notes on drawing fat bodies in a stylized or cartoony art style! i tried to explain and illustrate things i keep in mind while drawing :)
