I've started a little Cafepress shop where people can buy some of my illustrations printed on a wide selection of things.
I've ordered a few bits and pieces, to see ho the quality of the print is, and I must say, it's not too bad! I quite LOVE this shower curtain with my Melusine/mermaid on it for instance!
Ancient Tabsi didn't seem too impressed though. but then again, ancient Tabsi doesn't really ever do "impressed"...
You can find a link to my Cafepress shop in my profile information here on Flickr. :)

115 Pictures for 2015 - # 9 - Mythological Creature
On our recent trip to Paris, one of the highlights for me was a visit to the Cluny Museum. the masterpiece there is the series of tapestries called "The Lady and the Unicorn". There are six tapestries, woven in Flanders in the 1500s. This is often considered one of the greatest works of art from the Middle Ages in all of Europe. There are six tapestries, each large enough to cover a wall. Five depict the senses (taste, hearing, sight, smell, touch), and the sixth has the words "À mon seul désir". The meaning of this remains unknown, but is usually thought to be mean "love" or "higher love" or "understanding".
The tapestries were phenomenal, and the photos I have cannot in any way do justice to their magnificence. This is a portion of the sixth tapestry "À mon seul désir".

These guys are at the top of the food chain, They eat humans too!
they only come out at dawn, and will go for anyone swimming in any kinds of bodies of water. They go for smaller children first because they are easier to carry. Watch your kids and don't underestimate the HAWKODILE! While they may seem weak, they can carry up to 300lbs!

Plate before firing.
An imagining of all the scary and troublesome things that lurk in the basement. Eventually I hope to turn these guys into a story. these were done on un-fired plates for a friend's art auction fund raiser. This will test if there is any public interest in my goofy creations.
The treadlesssaurus is a mythical creature lurking in the darkest, tangled jungle of the basement. Treadlessaurus was revered by ancient basement dwellers as a deity and the vuclanized beast was regularly propitiated with swearing and sacrifice. Now it lies in wait for a stray child to wander into his neck of the woods.
