A page from Laidly, Loathly #comics #folklore #changeling #illustration

a page from the comic book "Laidly, Loathly". pencil and ink illustrations show the characters Ocke and Methe talking. Ocke says: can't you go back... there? Methe: They won't help me. i was charged by the sidhe to lure mortals there, but there was no one on the road... Ocke: only me. [he holds the handle of his knife while firey colours surround him] Methe: i was made from a dead buck. they say it was rotten. eaten by foxes and crows... and so i'm ill-made. with parts missing. [the bottom half of the page shows a dead and rotting deer surrounded by bluebells].

More folklore from Laidly, Loathly! (thread) > #folklore #johnbarleycorn #illustration #comics

part of a page from the comic book Laidly, Loalthy. group of people are drinking beer from a jug. Methe recites the lyrics from John Barley corn: "with harrows strong they combed him, the burst clods upon his head/ a joyful banquet then was made, when barleycorn was dead." the others are confused. one explains: the spirit of the harvest. john barleycorn. beer- the song is about beer. Methe says: maybe.

Jack@jackalopeart· Mar 10

also I made a zine using a collage of lyrics from the wyrm based ballads called “i weird ye”:

a collage of drawings of a person transforming into a wolf-like creature with small antlers and hooves on its back legs. the text reads "then i weird ye a laidly beast to be/ ye must seek the terrible wyrm / the only wight that shall speak to thee / and its weakness shall ye learn / k's mouth grew wrang, their hair grew lang, for a the folk to see/ and aff awa tae see the worm/ the loathsome beast did flee"

Jack@jackalopeart· Mar 10

(this page) >>>

part of a page from the comic book "laidly, loathly." the text reads: "my first name was Elis. old name. it is not mine any more. it's hers". Elis wears a medieval style bee-keeper's suit. she sings "o, quit your sword, unbend your bow / and give me kisses three / for though i am but a laidly worm/ no harm will i do to thee"

Jack@jackalopeart· Mar 10

Folklore from “Laidly, Loathly”: Laidly basically means the same as loathly – the second half of the title sort of defines the first. It is an archaic Scots and Northern English word. My story is about a creature and a boy treated like a creature. thread >>> #folklore #comics

the front and back of the comic book "Laidly, Loathly". the cover shows a long limbed faun-like creature moving through a collage of marbled paper. the back cover shows an archer. the blurb reads "laidly, loathly is a new folk tale inspired by british and irish folk lore. changeling ocke and monster methe meet at arrow-point, and find their lives entangled from samhain to lammas as the years turn over the course of centuries"

another page from "Laidly, Loathly" #comic #book #illustration #folklore #changeling

A page from "Laidly, Loathly" by Jack MacConnachie for Right Villainous. the images show a child climbing from a house's chimney and running away to sleep in the woods. the text reads: it's me. in the stories, the changeling flies out with the hearth smoke when it is revealed. i never did manage to fly again. i think story-teller is another word for liar." another child finds them. the text reads - child: i don't understand. i thought i was your only child. parent: and you are. YOU were supposed to be gone. you can stay - but keep out of the house. and you must behave. changeling: behave as what?

Jack@jackalopeart· Feb 22

Here's the first three pages from Laidly, Loathly. I'm mainly a printmaker but have been exploring drawing and collage more due to RSI in my wrist and fingers! This was an enjoyable project. It took about two years on and off, and I had to draw some of it with my left hand. #folklore #comic #zine

A page from a comic book "Laidly, Loathly" showing an arrow being drawn and shot at a deer. the deer runs away. the text reads "i should have known not to loose that arrow. it was an unusual kind of deer. and the old road is not frequented by many men or beasts. and the buck just stepped out and stood there, watching me back. waiting for the arrow."

the next page of the comic "Laidly, Loathly". the deer runs through a toadstool ring. the arrow sticks out of its shoulder. the archer stops before entering the ring. the text says "and so i should have known not to chase it".

the third page from "Laidly, Loathly". the archer destroys the mushroom ring. he follows the deer and finds a faun instead, with the arrow in its shoulder. the archer says "that's my arrow. why did you let me shoot you?" (I know why. it is a lure) Faun: i didn't see that you were sidhe. you may have your arrow back".

From my new zine Satyr: The Greene-Wood #folklore #selkie #scotland #childballads #suleskerry #collage #zine #illustration

A collage of a seal with a human face and feet in brown ink and white gouache, with blue marbled paper. the text is the ballad The Great Silkie of Sule Skerry (child 113):
AN eartly nourris sits and sing,
And aye she sings, Ba, lily wean!
Little ken I my bairnis father,
Far less the land that he staps in.
Then ane arose at her bed-fit,
An a grumly guest I’m sure was he:
‘Here am I, thy bairnis father,
Although that I be not comelie.
‘I am a man, upo the lan,
An I am a silkie in the sea;
And when I’m far and far frae lan,
My dwelling is in Sule Skerrie.’
‘It was na weel,’ quo the maiden fair,
‘It was na weel, indeed,’ quo she,
‘That the Great Silkie of Sule Skerrie
Suld hae come and aught a bairn to me.’
Now he has taen a purse of goud,
And he has pat it upo her knee,
Sayin, Gie to me my little young son,
An tak thee up thy nourris-fee.
An it sall come to pass on a simmer’s day,
When the sin shines het on evera stane,
That I will tak my little young son,
An teach him for to swim the faem.
An thu sall marry a proud gunner,
An a proud gunner I’m sure he’ll be,
An the very first schot that ere he schoots,
He’ll schoot baith my young son and me.
