Inktober day 28 - (Carousel) ride

I love carousel rides! The animals and horses always so pretty!

Still maybe it wasn’t the best idea for inktober since this took me a bit too much time tonight and I even took out my gouache for little details…

Still I am pretty happy with it!:D (even thought I am starting to run out of blue now.XD)

Sir John Franklin, on the matter of mosquitoes :

i loved that they could not stop talking about the fucked up mosquitoes - here are the full quotes:

  • "swarms of β€˜mosquitoes’ as large, I was going to say, Eagles, as a blue bottle fly they stung us through our trowsers." - Charles Osmer
  • "the Mosquittoes are very troublesome to all. The bite of these flies is much more troublesome than the sting of a bee leaving the mark for many days." - Harry Goodsir
  • "the Miscatties is Very Thick. I have been sadly annoyed with them my face and hands is all swolled by them and the Chief part of the crew the same way." - James Reid
  • "there was plenty of Misketoes and they bite very bad my arms are very much bitten with them they are more venemous than the English Bugg some of the Men is blisterd all over the Face and Arms" - James Thompson
  • "Sargent & I went on shore this afternoon – for the sole purpose of taking a sketch of this place but were obliged to retire with the loss of one pound of flesh each – almost eaten by mosquitos –" - Edward Couch
  • "the Mosquitoes are troublesome to the thin skinned members of our party. They are of the large kind." - John Franklin, laconically

And of course:

  • "The mosquitoes are terrible, but they d’ont bite me as much as a great many people –" - James "I'm better than you" Fitzjames

we need more concerning women in media. I want to be watching a TV show and to go "oh that woman has problems." I want to watch a woman constantly make the worst decisions in the world with no sign of stopping
