Khorazir’s 2024 Inktober(ish)
In previous years, I used Inktober to draw new ink linearts for my ongoing long-term project, my Sherlock & London Graphic Novel. This year, because I probably won’t have time to create an ink drawing every day, I will do something else. As of now, I have 137 uncoloured linearts. The plan is to colour as many as possible, and to create new ink (and watercolour) pieces for Sherlock and Dead Boy Detectives.
More info about the graphic novel and a look at linearts and completed artworks can be found here:

Hey I made that! Knit in 3 days to ensure it got to Canada on time. I screamed when I saw it was actually screen used!

Cheers to the Neil Gaiman-jumper easter egg inside of Dead Boy Detectives.
Costume designer Kelli Dunsmore wanted to include a subtle easter egg in the show referencing someone called Neil Gaiman. So she browsed through some of his pictures and came across this jumper that she later chose as the main piece of costume for Dagfinn, the lighthouse keeper.
The best thing is that it's not the same jumper. It's not even the same brand of jumper but new. It's ever so slightly different, so someone knitted that jumper. To match.
Yes! It is never the same one because they are not largely manufactured, but handmade every-time. But for these two instances, Joan actually knitted both of them and has now put up a pattern :) super cool.

Let’s talk about: safety glasses!
The ones Edwin is wearing are actually some of the very first models invented.
Since its beginning, circa 1880, protective safety eyewear has significantly evolved. The patented"eye protector" by P. Johnson used two layers of semi-opaque cloth to protect those working with fire (i.e., firemen, furnace-men) from the intensity that comes from bright lights.
Now it wasn’t until 1903 when French scientist Edouard Benedictus accidentally invented the safety glass. When climbing a ladder in his laboratory to grab reagents from a shelf, he clumsily knocked a glass flask to the floor and heard it shatter. But when he looked down, the pieces were still hung together due to a cellulose nitrate solution (liquid plastic) lining the inside of the glass flask.
Shortly after, when reading a story in the Paris newspaper about automobile accidents in which the drivers were getting seriously injured by shattered glass windshields, he thought of the liquid lining in the flask and decided to experiment. This experimentation eventually led to the creation of safety glass.
Around the same time, the United States was making its own discoveries. America's first optics teacher, Julius King, was growing concerned about industrial eye injuries, which led to his company setting up an industrial safety and eye protection department. Then in 1909, the Julius King Optical Company developed the first safety goggle in collaboration with American Optical. These safety goggles were called SANIGLAS.
Glasses continued evolving since then. Reason I wanted to delve a little bit into this is because the pattern is quite similar, if not the exact same as Crowley’s glasses!
Pretty interesting choice of eyewear.
