A watercolour painting depicting a moment in Robert Holdstock’s Mythago Wood story. The two characters finally meet each other while the looming beast, the Urscumug looks upon the men it once knew. The forest is dark and grittty, with ominous trees encroaching and looming upon the characters and all is lit by a full moon.
A pencil drawing depicting the scene in Tolkiens Legendarium The Lord of the Rings - Galadriel’s Mirror. Galadriel invites the two hobbits, Frodo and Sam to look within her all seeing device. The great Mallon trees stretch up into the night sky, along with its old friends, pine and gnarled oak that grace the scene with their twisting and intertwining limbs.
A digital illustration in the style of old theatre stage designs and illustrations and artists of the past like Ivan Bilibin. I created this to be a children’s blanket design. The idea that these forest creatures gathering in the night tell stories to one another and parents/guardians along with their little ones could come up with these stories before bed time. What does the giant hollow oak tell of his day to the forest knight or does the giant frog croak to his friend the pompous crow? Who knows! You decide.
A pencil drawing of a sleeping gnome resting his little pie-filled self during a late afternoon at his favourite tree spot. He rests with his hatted head perched against an old and rotted stump, his beard trailing down the ground as sunlight dazzles through branch and leaf, warming his big nose. Birds are chirping. It’s a good day.
