As a sneak peek - have the initial thumbnail sketch that has since turned into something requiring epic storyboarding. I blame Heather Dale.
Oh, hell, yes.
Anyone know where I can get my hands on an English-language copy of Escanor by Girart D’Amiens?
Today I took Selina Hastings’ Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady to tutoring because my student (who is 8 years old) loves stories about knights and princesses, and it’s tough to get her to be enthusiastic about reading. It was the most entertaining thing ever…

We’ve made a new album of old favourites for you. It’s free (although if you feel like naming your price, we’d be very grateful!). All we ask is that you pass the album on. Think of someone who could use a pick-me-up and send them the gift of free music!
Please, reblog, so that more people can meet this wonderful singer and her music.

Idylls of the Queen, Phyllis Ann Karr
An Arthurian murder mystery starring Sir Kay.
Kay being one of my favorite knights.
Arthurian Awareness campaigns, inspired by Harry Potter propaganda posters by BlimpCat studio. Because not everything is right with the Arthurian word. First one is a reference to Slutwalk campaign.
Also, I’m sorry.

As a result from my last discussion where we were talking about arthurian blind casting. I think Merlin BBC is not enough, also because, ew, the characters, so now I want this. This is my cast. Not modern AU but fantasy-arthurian.
As you probably noticed Archie Panjabi and Taye Diggs are here too. Because I love them. They are my dreamwife and dreamhusband. Naomie Harris is here too because she is perfect. And Chiwetel Ejiofor is Gawain BECAUSE HE IS AND YOU CAN’T DENY IT.
Warren Kole and Michael Ealy are Galahad and Mordred. What? Are you insinuating I decided to cast them as Galahad and Mordred because I am so superficial and obsessed that in this way I could watch Common Law thinking about a Gal/Mordred AU? You are right.
Gina Torres as Morgause
Archie Panjabi as Morgan le Fay
Alexander Siddig as Arthur
Rochelle Aytes as Guinevere
Philip Winchester as Lancelot
Ronni Jhutti as Agravaine

Rachel Weisz as lady BercilakSo, lucrenoin posted this amazing Arthurian dream cast (Gina Torres as Morgause, and Taye Diggs as Bedwyr - I can’t even!), and then followed it up with a suggestion of an alternate universe steampunk-esque version of the legends.

I THINK I MUST DRAW THIS. I have a stack of about seven paintings/drawings I am currently working on (a mixture of Good Omens, Tortall, and 13th century Arthuriana), so it might take me a few days, but… this is going to happen. Yup.

Click on Thou shall give me the plot!
Vivian finds the Holy Grail and gives it to Palamede! Lady Bercilak has an allergy! It’s a story about the Grail and Mordred is incredibly kind with everyone.
Second version. With more.
I am a hostage that lives in Joyous Garde.
My best friend is Galahad.
My lover is Lancelot.
My enemy is Guinevere.
Mordred will kill me [for cheating on him with Lancelot].
Surprisingly accurate. Or I guess I could be Arthur.
