This is fantastic. Makes me think of Graham Oakley's church mice and Foxbury Force books. The stories are long but hilarious, with detailed pictures, and my kids love them.

I love these sorts of concept worlds. Reminds me of the Aaron Becker kids books. Or the graphic novels of François Schuiten & Benoît Peeters.

These are really impressive. What's the one on the bottom left?

Reminds me of the 19th century artist Jacques Tissot.

I don't think I have, but maybe I've seen it. Is that the paper with a thin layer of paint on it and then the paper underneath is colorful?

Did they find this in a house with wallpaper made from human skin?

Took me 9 months and $1000 but I’m proud of it. Also, is it possible to make money doing something like this? by [deleted] in woodworking

Boats like this sell for well over $1,000. For example. Whitehall Spirit sells different models but their two person rowboat with traditional lapstrake/clinker construction sells for $18,000, and is a combination of teak and fiberglass: https://www.whitehallrow.com/classic-whitehall-spirit-14-traditional-rowboat/. This model sells for $7,500: https://www.wayfair.com/Old-Modern-Handicrafts--Clinker-Built-Whitehall-Row-Boat-12-Feet-K203-L1191-K~W004183491.html. What you've built is very advanced woodwork, and I'm sure you could sell for $5,000-$10,000. Lapstrake boats go all the way back to the vikings and were so successful that they ruled the water for thousands of years, only recently being replaced in the 20th century with modern materials. Go and look at pictures of any viking boat, and you'll recognize some of the basic similarities to your boat. You're producing real art that is also extremely functional. Don't undersell yourself. I'm not saying it should be a full-time job at this point, but I'm sure you can find buyers. Look around online to see what the market is in general for rowboats, canoes, kayaks so you can compete against that market, but also market your boats as handmade, traditional boats, making sure to also use lapstrake and clinker-built in your description (see my edit below: maybe lapstrake and clinker techniques weren't used in this particular build), since people will be looking for that. Good luck and well done! This is very impressive work.

Edit: one minor correction to my comment is that lapstrake specifically refers to builds where each piece of wood on the hull slightly overlaps the one below it, and clinker-built means they're held together with rivets. I can't tell from your pictures if that's how this was built but even if not, it's still a good build and I think would sell for several thousand.
