Ol’ Merlin: some poor sod from the 1970’s sent back in time to the Middle Ages and whose passing knowledge of electricity resembles sorcery in this unenlightened era.

Guard your jugulars, it’s the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog! Run away!!!

Egads! A Giant Bearded Snail! One of the coolest things working on this book was being able to revive some obscure or cut bits of Terry Gilliam animation (pictured second)

A little owlbear experiment in markers, colored pencil, and microns. I’ve always favored the 1970’s design inspired by a novelty dinosaur toy (my replica desk buddy courtesy of fellow owlbear-ologist @diterlizzi.bsky.social ) and popularized by the Sutherland illustration in the monster manual.

The Dragon of Angnor, whom Sir Robin most nearly fought. Look at those pearly whites! Surely the envy of his friends, thanks to Crelm Toothpaste.

Beware the dreaded Black Beast of Arghhghghghhh!

It was such delightful challenge to explore my take on such a classic bit of Terry Gilliam cartooning.

IT'S...Monty Python's Co-Curricular Medieval Re-enactment Programme, from Crowbar Creative and @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social. I contributed 60 paintings to this stunning fever-dream of a book, an absolute dream-come-true for this fantasy painter (1/3?)
