Im here at #VasaMuseet for the second time and it is still amazing as hell. The size of the operation they had to pull off to take it from the sea, the amount of work to put it all together and conserve for the people to see…

And of course the size of the ship itself… It starts easy on your eyes when you are on the ground level, but grows when you get above the deck or under it. It’s massive!😍

Using Pilot ink as paint wash and drawing ink to illustrate the short and dark poem by Jim Morrison from 1967 called Horse Latitudes. (Album: “Strange Days”)
Syo-Ro used for the sea wash and the text, using Pilot Elite pen and a sable brush.
Shin-Kai used for sketching using Kaweko Sport.
Cheated a bit with Faber Castel watercolour pencils to add colour to the “tiny monsters” and the sun.
Hope you enjoy using ink as watercolour!

Extra alt text: poem is as follows:

When the still sea conspires and armour
And her sullen and aborted currents breed tiny monsters
TRUE SAILING IS DEAD!
