Such a good piece! Hangs very nicely (though slightly unaligned 😅) next to Eowyn 😎

"The Creation" was selected to be included in IBA v. 14! I'm so honoured!🥰
I'm particularly proud of this piece because it was so challenging to paint! It represents Eru Ilùvatar creating the Middle Earth world listening to the Ainur's beautiful song. But a dissonant voice creeps in... Melkor's one😏

Check this out!! 🔥✨
Wondered what Fiadh and Annis might look like from an artist's perspective? This new art will be added to the pages of the a special edition!

Just £110 away on the audiobook kickstarter -

Fanart of #Shiryu the #dragon, from #Saintseiya. I did this one during the Bologna Convention, pencils on A3 size cardboard. It is already sold, but I'd love to make prints of this one!
Shiryu is one of my top favourite Seiya! What's yours??

It took us almost a year, but we have hung the "Mother Lilith" print I gifted my boyfriend for St. Valentine's last year!

I recommend all artists to just completely leave that platform.

Happy New Year!! 🥳❤️
This year's #artsummary. ❤️ I can consider myself satisfied as I've been lucky enough to work on important titles and exciting projects (Warhammer, Blasphemous, Talisman Adv, Uncharted Dungeons, to name a few) and seeing them framed in this grid gives me a little joy in this harsh period.

In light of recent Ai related nonsense in the creative industry, I wanted to present some easy-to-digest facts about Generative Ai

Today is my birthday! 🎂

I feel grateful for everyone who supports me, my art and the work I love. It makes even the hardest days brighter and gives me the strength to keep creating🫶

If you could spare a repost, it would mean a lot and help my work reach more people 🤗
