I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

I was asked to draw the cover for my hometown's magazine commemorating the Segavecchia festival, a celebration of Spring of likely pagan origins held yearly halfway through Lent, and codified in the 1450s.

the early evolution of an RPG prototype,
- watercolors done for the heck of it, one of many
- watercolors scanned and used as a kit for a store interior
- rinse repeat step 2 to learn it's limits
- borrow textures from props to prototype floors and walls and quickly assemble a more complete scene!

If you like the look of my Innsmouth Ships print, here's the story that inspired them…
It's ongoing, so don't expect an ending if reading it for the first time.

We've been on the Northern Line. The idea that it's 2000 years old seems completely reasonable.
