Levitea - Hand-Lettered Labels
Faux tea labels, with a company name I made up back in college. I thought I'd try out some hand lettering as a new approach to graphic design. I think I like the results of these. You might recogni...

Just playing around today with some more Puka Scribbles. They say that the Puka's human visage is that of "a dark hairy man." As a shaggy old pony the Puka invites people to ride on his back. Unlik...

Merrows. Kind of creepy, not-very-pretty fishmen. There seems to be some disagreement about whether or not they have legs. Like a lot of aquatic faeries they do their share of drowning sailors and...
View ArticleSketchbook - The Washing Women
Another strange bit of morbid folklore for today: the Washing Women are seen around secluded bodies of water. They are the ghosts of mothers who die in childbirth. The story goes that for seven yea...

The blending stubs have been abandoned. I like my textured shading, kthnx. Aside from their pot of gold shtick, Lepracauns are also cobblers (shoe makers). The strange thing is, they never make a p...

Brownies! Looks like the cat's after his cream, but I like to think they have some kind of friendly relationship.
View ArticleSketchbook - Hrapp teaser
Just a teaser from the 10th, for the 11th, so it goes strait into scraps like I said some of these might. Hrapp is a(an?) historical Icelandic ghost.
View ArticleSketchbook - Hrapp's ghost
Hrapp is an old Icelandic ghost from the days of the early viking settlers on the island. I read about him in a book that contains translated stories from many sagas of the prose edda. It's called...

From an Irish folktale of the same name about a woman whose home is invaded by a group of twelve witches, each with an increasing number of horns growing from her forehead. The first five are in th...

How's this for a "bump in the night," *sfemonster? Hob Goblins are nasty little man-eating monsters that I used to draw a lot back in high school. I still haven't quite settled on their look or the...

These sketches represent a more uniform body type for these guys. Basically, they have a short torso with all limbs roughly the same length. They're probably a little better at walking upright than...

Bird faeries along the same line as the cricket fae I posted a while back. Might play with hummingbird and whippoorwill variants later...

Little, childlike hummingbird faeries! I think these guys came out awfully cute and they're high on my list of "things I need to paint in color." I was thinking of a Ruby Throated for the little gi...

Watercolor, 2.5x3.5" This painting is a tiny ACEO I made last month between all those daily paintings. For some reason I never uploaded it here even though I really like how it came out. It's neat...

View ArticleSketchbook - frog legs
A couple of initial thoughts on frogish faeries. I've got some more and some less human concepts that might get doodled up later this month as time allows. Still trying to make hair work on them......
View ArticleSketchbook - an old toad
Naturally after drawing frog-fae comes a toad variation. Toads have so much skin texture that giving her human hair doesn't seem to clash as badly as it would with a frog's smooth skin. She seems a...

Psychopomp is the archetype used to describe any mythical being who conducts souls to the afterlife. Though my first thought in this sketch was for Ankou, this sketch mixes themes from several psyc...
