These pages take a long time because I'm doing them the hard, slow way, watercolor & ink.
For heaven's sake if this project interests you —follow me. I'm doing the math and I need the first story to do extremely well if I'm going to make the money work.
I want passion to win.
The first 4 pages sans text for PetraCor, my Anglo-Saxon graphic novel.
Each chapter is a self-contained episode. A early-medieval Twilight Zone structure with stories inspired by Dante, English and Celtic fable, and the real history of 8th century England.
I can't wait to start drawing creatures. The truly strange stuff. That's certainly a highlight.
But the heart of the story is two men --one a Saxon thegn whose life of bloody conflict has left him searching for meaning, and the other a young Lombardian exile whose aristocratic family was unseated by Charlemagne's conquests in Italy. With all lost, he lives in the present.
Thrown together, they wander the length of Albion on a path to the Holy Isle of Lindisfarne, navigating the layers of cultures that centuries of conquest had brought to the isle.
Saints, monsters, druids, wicked gods and men, nature and the ruins it has reclaimed pepper the road between Wintanceastre and Lindisfarne in Anno Domini 793.

Astonished to find myself at number 1 and number 2 in British and Irish poetry. Maybe the epic poem is making a comeback!

Something stirs among the Autumn leaves: a new edition of the Corncrake Magazine has arrived. This month’s issue features a deep dive into the foundational story of Cain and Abel from the Bible and an extract from Alexander Adams’ novel delves into his experience of Art School.

VERY excited to reveal a book the @PendragonOrg team have been working on!
One of the best companions to understanding medieval warfare, including essays by Charles Oman that are not widely available.
October's looking like it will be a medieval month for us.

Daily drawing in pen and pastel. I like the contrast of hatching against blending.

It was my pleasure to do the illustrations for this edition of Frankenstein published by @OldSovPub . Here are some of the woodblocks that were used to create the prints.
Follow this sensational study of human horror, suffering and pity in our superbly produced clothbound edition. This book has been illustrated with 8 woodcut prints from British artist @Si_SmithArt, that bring the horror to life.
Each print was carved by hand before pressing by the artist to produce these truly unique images.
