MEDIEVAL MARGINALIA × PEPE
Peculiar creatures. Questionable nobility.
A very serious collection of unserious things.
A TALE IN THREE ENCOUNTERS · ABOUT FOUR MINUTES
Follow a weary scribe through a kingdom whose customs are entirely reasonable.
He hath written this down. It must therefore be true.
CHAPTER I / THE COLLECTED ODDITIES
Small absurdities.
Illuminated with great care.
No such creature in this part of the manuscript. Try another search.
You have reached the end of the manuscript. The scribe is resting.
“In the margins,
good sense takes its leave.”
CHAPTER II / THE FORBIDDEN AIRS
An illustrated songbook for improper company.
Beautifully sung. Regrettably memorable.
EXAMINE THE FOLIO ↗THE FIRST AIR / A MATTER OF MEASUREMENT

An original song written for Arsonic’s collection.
THE COLOPHON
In the margins of medieval manuscripts, strange things happen. Rabbits become knights. Snails inspire terror. The solemn business of the world quietly comes undone.
This collection brings that spirit into Arsonic’s world: unmistakable Pepes, impossible little scenes, and a warm palette of burgundy, mustard, green, and plum. Each folio treats its own absurdity with absolute seriousness.
Made with a straight face.
Arsonic
