Finvara and Oonaugh

So a few months ago I read a book about Irish myths. They spent some time talking about Finvara and Oonaugh, the fairy King and Queen of the dead. Such interesting characters stood out and so I created this piece of art, basing the style on the illustrations of Aubrey Beardsley. So, it being high summer and green bean season (The Medieval food of the dead) have a bowl of green beans to salute this ethereal Lord and Lady.

So some time ago there were some posts at this site. It got me thinking about the fun idea of designing a pokemon based on me. So I did this, unfortunately it sat fro quite some time before I finally scanned it and then some time longer before I finally got it ready to post on-line. But here they are, Scrounge and Forage! This was a fun project to do and I recommend it as an exercise for anyone trying to just make something fun.

Dangerous Folk

So if you were to look through my sketchbook you'd see that around February-late May I was sketching folks from the 1920s. This was all sketch work for a project not yet finished. Another game idea but I'll have to get Baron's of Tea off my plate first, that's job 1. Anyway as I was sketching I came up with this finished piece. I rather liked i and figured I'd finally post it! Folks from the 1920s are fun to draw. Also they were crazy, pole-sitting, non-stop multi-day dance-a-thons? Oh what people did before television, the radio and the internet!

Working on a snow day!

Hello all, I'm dusting off the blog again. (A semi-annual task at this point!)
Today was a snow day for me. It's really coming down in Lancaster. I was able to use this time to get a project off of my plate. It's been a work in progress for months, with the sketches in my sketchbook since April. Some of you may know that I am developing a board game featuring tea trading. At long last I finished the box art for it. So that said, would you be intrigued if you saw this on a shelf?
