Prepping some original ink drawings from one of my fave projects ever, Lady Gregory’s “Irish Myths and Legends”, published by the @foliosociety.bsky.social in 2011. Thanks to @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social for facilitating this sale ✨
![stormpaw (a large fluffy grey tomcat) and shadepaw (a sleek charcoal bengal molly) narrating:
my mentor says we set ourselves apart as a clan with one simple rule:
[split panel, shalehoney (a pale gold molly) and hollyhockstorm (a speckled red molly with one white ear), simultaneously]
shalehoney: blood for blood. if we lose a fight, we all lose it. every last one.
hollyhockstorm: don't fuck with us. if you bite we'll bite back, no matter the consequences.
narration: it started as a weapon, a reputation carefully crafted to deter even the larger clans.
[the deputy rattles off names, hollyhock, falls, sun, stone, ripple, and departs with a large group of cats]
narration: 'win or lose you'll be wading in blood. back off. we're more trouble than we're worth.'
narration: we who remained behind that day, we knew we weren't being spared.
[stormpaw and shadepaw look on, him impassive, her sharp]
narration: a fight had been started, and win or lose all our paths inevitably ended in that gaping maw.
[shadepaw and stormpaw stand together and watch the rescue party head out, focusing on puddlepaw vanishing into the distance down the shallow green riverbed of a starkly lit slot canyon]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h5c5sebdcauorahpw665ntti/bafkreihjrrpkerqyqibp73yyzopgcu5wbwns36c4snpjexyylxgihfzrge)
