Here's another snow-themed phone wallpaper.

There is a line in Jim Butcher's book, "Summer Knight" (I think that's the one?) that describes Queen Mab as having lips the color of frozen mulberries.

And that's always stuck with me. I think it's one of the most vivid & unique descriptions of character I've ever read. It says so much with so little.

I had that in my head when I made this.

Cheers!

Studies of Figures in the Court of Queen Mab

The first three are completed and have lines of text from Shelley's poem "Queen Mab" overlaid on them using gold vinyl lettering.

I'm still working on the fourth one (which I think will be Queen Mab herself)

Each drawing is nearly 1 metre high

'Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches; and obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,
Makes slaves of men, and of the human frame
A mechanized automaton. '

Queen Mab
...
War is the statesman's game, the priest's delight,
The lawyer's jest, the hired assassin's trade.
...
The man Of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys.
Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches; and obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,
Makes slaves of men, and of the human frame
A mechanized automaton.
