The Knitters – hard working beautiful and magical – the three major elements of my illustrations of the Magic Wee Folk

The mostly love creating creatures that shape our world in an invisible way.  The knitters are one of my favorite paintings because it is illustrates one the strongest concepts that surrounds my illustrations of the Magical worlds.  I would love to believe of a world where these small creatures travel in a world besieged by humans and work to build magic and wonder unseen to all of us.

Zen Photo and Word Press.

I know I am not doing any thing new, but I am excited to have this put together.  Word Press and Zen Photo are two great pieces of Tech.  I can now blog about my illustrations and and have great gallery’s for them.

Cut every illustration down to its elements you should have a black and white image, and you will most likely see some triangles. Cut a story down and you should have a sentence or two for a synopsis. Well, cut an idea down, and you sometimes start with something that grows into a different shape.
