Grotesque helm, graphite and charcoal.

Another charcoal drawing done - A grotesque blue and gilt Closed Burgonet bearing the face of a griffin. Milan, Italy around 1550.

Every once in a while I remember the legendary American stop motion animator Ray Harryhausen and start watching his films again. I thought it would be fitting to do some drawings this time around.

This is a scene from The Golden Voyage of Sinbad where the centaur emerges from his gloomy cavern. A scene full of foreboding and menace and also a brilliant composition too.

Drawn with compressed charcoal and a blending stump.

Basswood carving.

A wrap around book cover illustration and design I had the pleasure to create for A.F Price's debut collection of short stories - Beneath the Shadow of the Headless God.

This book collects four novellas and two novelettes of Swords & Sorcery fiction, influenced by the works of Fritz Leiber, Karl Edward Wagner, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith and Jack Vance.
