Hi everyone. Just letting you all know you now have a place to buy my art it's through Etsy and here's the link. At the moment I only have originals for sale but I am in the process of researching print options, if anyone has any suggestions of places to get the work printed I would be grateful for the help.
And Facebook... I have been resistant of having an art page through Facebook because it feels like I'm blowing my own trumpet but if I want to sell some art, starting a Facebook page is a step in the right direction. Here's the link.
ENJOY! :)

With this statement I was challenged to tackle illustrating a nymph. And so I researched nymphs, finding nymphs everywhere, from the Faroe Islands where they were called Selkies to Japan where tree nymphs were called Kodama. After traveling around the world a few times I decided to return to Greece were the term "nymph" was originated. The following illustrates 3 different types of nymph; Oceanid - nymph of seas and oceans, ‪Eleionomae‬ - marsh naiad and the Asteriai - nymph of the stars. All three are watercolour and gouache on A3 sized 300gsm watercolour paper. Over the next couple of weeks I'll post the process it took to create these three images.

Old Watercolour Painting of House

I did this picture about 3 years ago for a commission request to paint a picture of a guys house that was being sold. He wanted something special to remember it by. For more pictures click here.

Two New Marvel Paintings - Black Bolt and the Dazzler

So even though I have already inked these two characters I thought I would paint them using different styles, the Dazzler using ink wash and the other focusing on the black of the Black Bolts suit. Personally I prefer the wash as it's something that comes naturally to me but it's always good to try something new and attempt to get better at it.

New Pathfinder Iconic - Amiri - Plus Pictures of Medieval Costume

After a couple of weeks sewing a medieval costume and completing it in time for Medieval Carnival I finally had time to finish my latest Paizo Pathfinder iconic - Amiri.
Inks on watercolour paper.

Amiri

So I thought I should show you what my costume ended up looking like (it's the first costume I've successfully completed with some help from my mum). I have some more photos from the event, so if you want to see them let me know. It was a fun day.
