Happy St. Patrick’s Day

I briefly had an idea for a storyline, that I may yet do about Peaseblossom not liking St. Patrick’s Day. It would have her complaining about Leprechauns getting all of the publicity. Regrettably, I kept forgetting to look at my calendar, so, I never got around to working on it. My next idea was to do a picture of Peaseblossom drinking with leprechauns. Before I got around to it I remembered that I had quite a few people of Irish descent in the cast so it would be better to feature them.

So here’s the Fitzpatrick siblings raising their pints to wish you all a happy St. Patrick’s Day. (Of course Tara would be the only one to go for the silly hats and a “Kiss Me I’m Irish” T-shirt.)

A very happy birthday to two of my favorite historical figures, Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. (I suspect we stopped celebrating Lincoln’s birthday and merging his and Washington’s birthday together was the bible thumpers realized we were celebrating Darwin’s birthday as well.)

A very happy birthday to Mr. Charles Darwin and Mr. Abraham Lincoln

A Clash of Kings – Whitetree

The Night Watch arrives in Whitetree, a tiny village dominated by the eponymous Weyrwood. The hardest part of this drawing was trying to purge my memory of Mel Rubi’s image and do my own. Having said that, for all my complaints about Mr. Martin’s descriptions, this is one of the times where he provides plenty of descriptions. There really aren’t many ways to do it.

In today's A Clash of Kings illustration, the Night's Watch arrives in the village of Whitetree. weyrwood wpmorse pen and ink jon snow jeor mormont raven asoiaf a song of ice and fire
“An old tree.” Mormont sat his horse, frowning. “Old,” his raven agreed from his shoulder. “Old, old, old.”
“And powerful.” Jon could feel the power.
