We were babysitting last night here at the Galactic HQ of Hivefleet Bonnacon and the 9 year old niece picked up the AK markers and made "Colourman".

EncreIvore - Encre=ink Ivore=ivory - black ink made from burned ivory. In the era of e.g. Manet (who used quite a lot of black) a colourman would send a boy round to your studio to bring the dry pigments and oils which you would mix up yourself.. The actual Devil has nuffink to do with it.

The final entry in the book, "The Retired Colourman" ended up redeeming the whole experience. It starts with one crime and ends up with another, equally worthwhile crime, so we get a plot twist without deflating the stakes.

I read and loved How To Fake It In Society by @kjcharleswriter.com
A delicious queer historical romance where quiet colourman (person who makes and sells paints) Titus unexpectedly comes into a fortune that outlandish scoundrel Nico thinks should be his.

It reminds me of that Sherlock Holmes story set partly in India, where Doyle casually sets up a distinction between the 'virtuous' Sikh and the 'lying Hindoo'
Also how the physical deformity of the retired colourman is explicitly linked to his villainous soul. It's shocking to read as its so casual
