New Coloring Book In July!

Another knot!  This is the final coloring page for my next coloring book, which will feature 32 coloring pages, and its also going to do double duty as the '2' in Celtic Knotwork Coloring Book 2 on the cover.

I still have to design the rest of the cover, make sure the pictures are pristine and do layouty stuff before I can publish it so I'm planning on it being available in July of this year.  Yay!  :D

This will be seven years after the last one so I'm sorry for taking so long and thank you all for your patience.

In the meantime here is a link to the original coloring book for whoevers interested:

Of course I will continue to work on Celtic knotwork as well as other projects so stay tuned for further developments!

Knot

 

Wow, only one more to go and I'll have enough designs for my coloring book!  Of course I still gotta design the cover and all that other layouty stuff.

And Another One! :)

 

Another Celtic Knot

 And another Celtic knot.  I'm about halfway towards having enough Celtic designs for another coloring book, so at the rate I'm going I should have enough designs for it in another five or six years.  But I'm hoping to speed up a bit.

The old Celtic knotwork coloring book is here by the way, so you'll have something to look through and color while you're waiting.

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.

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.

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.  :)

It Looks Like Fireworks

It Looks Like Fireworks was the name of a short story I had published as a kindle ebook.  I recently unpublished it because no one was buying it.  The story itself was brilliant, and it might come up again in one of my future collections of short stories.  I just wanted to let people know in case they were looking for it.

And if you want to support me as an artist/writer and want a collection of awesome Celtic designs to look at or color, have I got the book for you!

There has been a huge trend lately where people buy coloring books marketed for grown-ups 'Adult Coloring Books' they are called.  So since I do a lot of Celtic art and I'm good at it, I decided that I am going to come out with a Celtic themed adult coloring book myself.  I hope to come out with it in the next couple of months.
