Poem written for my daughter Sylvia who turned one today. #poetry #poem #poet

For Trickster’s Net I emulated the work of Carl Otto Czeschka. The first two are mine, all images were envisioned in pairs as the images of Czeschka’s Die Nibelungen were. These first two were envisioned as the primordial origin of the world. #illustration #design #conceptart #trickstersnet #TTRPG

So tricksters net, the project by @playframe.co.uk and Loco Ludus, was an interesting game design exchange project linking German students with Welsh students to help build and define the world of Tricksters Net, a TTRPG. I was only brought on to make some inspirational touchstone art

Some more #illustrations and bits of #conceptart #characterart

These were done for @peakrillpress.bsky.social King Arthur vs Devil Kitty. #kingarthur #arthurian #illustration

For anyone who only knows me as someone querying a novel, there have been times when I’ve worked as a concept artist and illustrator on various projects and I’ll probably be sharing a few of these over the next few days

She stood washing at the sink, the plates from supper. There came a long wailed note from the forest outside. The howl of wolves in the unhusbanded world. In the forests yet to be felled. She dropped the plate in the water and looked out the window. #1stLinePit #WIP #A #LF #HF

He watched the slight wind out of the desert glitter in the vapour lamps across the street and then he crossed over towards the imposing Shepards hotel. He saw her first in the scalloped mirror at the end of the long corridor… #1stLinePit #WIP #A #LF #HF
