Mythical Bookshelves

 

I finally finished this one!  I finished the line art seven years ago, way back in 2017 and just finally got around to finishing it up.  Its got lots of wonderful details although I like to think I've gotten at least a little better at drawing people since then.

2018?

So apparently I did a ton of art last year.  This year I'm going to create more and better artwork.  But what does that even mean?

 Well here are the salient points:

1. My Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book has been doing really well, (thanks for buying it!), so of course I'm going to keep on coming out with coloring books.  So expect to see more coloring book pages in Celtic knotwork, acanthus ornament, and other elegant decorative styles.

2. I've been saying for years that I want to write and illustrate stories in my own medieval fantasy universe.  The stories I'm currently working on are about children who make friends with some goblin children and have lots of fun adventures even though the grown ups all want to kill each other.  So I'm sorry its taking so long, but I really think I'll be able to finish a short story or two to share with you this year.  I will upload them for your reading pleasure on this blog, and deviantart.

3. Miscellaneous artwork.  As always I will put up pictures of paintings and drawings I'm working on.  These are not always connected to a particular project but they help me grow as an artist, and hopefully you enjoy them.


4. You have a happy new year!  I'm glad that we finally finished the old year.

2017 Year In Review

So apparently I did a lot of art this year.  Here's a video I did that's a slideshow of all the art I came out with in 2017:

The music is Never Give Up On Your Dreams by Two Steps From Hell, with whom I do not claim to be affiliated in any way.

The pictures are all the artwork I uploaded to deviantart, in 2017, in chronological order:

Its been a good year for me in terms of art, and I'm going to continue making more and better artwork next year.

Thank you all for your support!

Mobius Acanthus

Another year come and gone, time to turn over a new leaf, and go around again!

Thanks for all the support this year!

Acanthus Leaves - Color

I finally colored something!  Its also available as a print here: https://society6.com/product/acanthus-leaves878437_framed-print#s6-7921089p21a12v52a13v54

Celticanthus

I tried to draw a Celtic knot made out of acanthus leaves... well it had to happen I guess.

Acanthus Leaves

I'm learning to draw acanthus leaves!  This is the first illustration of my second coloring book which will be pictures of acanthus ornament.

Another Knot

I've now got 4% of the artwork done for my next Celtic knotwork coloring book, although I've got other books that I want to come out with first.

I'm Back

This is the first Celtic design I've come out with since my coloring book.  Or to look at it another way, its the first knot in my next book full of Celtic Awesomeness and next time I'm gonna try for 50 patterns instead of just 32!

But I'm not in any particular hurry, or trying to be prolific or anything, (yet), because I've got lots of other artistic and literary endeavors to tackle first.  I'll just come out with a new knot every now and then when I feel like it.  :)

Magical Places

So much art that I need to color...what a great problem to have!  ^_^

I Started A Brand New Tumblr!

I have other tumblrs, but this one is my artist tumblr, for sharing my own art with the world:

Something A Little Bit Different!

Love ya, hope you're all doing well.  Here's something I've been working on, I was shopping at Beverly's yesterday where my sister and brother work, and for some reason I just had to buy this fake rubber celery.  And today I got out my cordless drill and drilled a hole in it so I could put a pen in it, and now its an epic writing implement!  Needless to say I am now sharing this image of it with you with great celerity! xD

I call this my Om nom nom de plume!
