Hello there!

I’m JessMcK, or, as I like to style myself online, The Inky Baroness. I’m a traditional pen-and-ink artist, sharing sketches, writing, and other creative endeavours with the world. If you love history, literature, and fine art — and don't mind the occasional long rant — I’d be delighted for you to come and join me!
