A quick birthday sketch.. and.. no .. although I may feel this old... it's not a self portrait. #sketchbook #faerie #halloween #witch #artistsoninstagram #birthdday

Finally... I got around to finishing this gouache painting of a three headed 'Zmey' - a dragon from slavic mythology. Let me know what you think! Glad to finally have this one done! Now.. on to the next project! Here is a link if you want to read more about the mighty Zmey! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_dragon

I was invited to participate in The Sketchbook Project run by the Brooklyn Art Library. The theme of the project is "This is Reading". So I elected to feature whimsical creatures that can be found in or around my hometown of Reading, Pa. My first entry in my sketchbook is the Reading Public Museum Yodvanoy: This mischievous creature is said to live under the last red bridge on the museum grounds. When angered, the vodyanoy breaks dams, washes down water mills, and drowns people and animals. (Consequently, fishermen, millers, and also bee-keepers make sacrifices to appease him.) He would drag down people to his underwater dwelling to serve him as slaves.#sketchbookproject #slavicmythology #mythology #berkscounty #reading #sketch #instaartist #comicart #illustration #fae #faerie #magic #nature #faery #fantasy #books #fantasyart #pagan#magick #ibelieveinfairies #magical #witch#fairieslivehere #faeriefolk #folklore#fairyart #fairyland #imagination#brianfroud #froud #worldoffroud#faeriesofinstagram (at Reading Public Museum)

I like the energy of this one.. it's nice when the drawing just flows out easily without the usual struggle! #illustration #drawing #sketch #conceptart #kidlitart #childrensillustration #instagood #instaart
