“Hir yw’r dydd a hir yw’r nos, a hir yw aros Arawn”. (Long is the day and long is the night, and long is the waiting of Arawn).
A piece that accompanies this illustration from forever ago about different mythological figures from all over the world. Here is Arawn from Wales, and his pack of magical hounds. Find out more about him here at Wiki.
p.s Free shipping worldwide in the shop until May 12th with this link.
Having a bit of a studio tidy today, and I found the colour version of Simon from this piece I did a little while ago. Thought I’d post him here instead of letting him molder away on my PC. Be free, tiny Simon!
H for Harry Harrison and ‘The Stainless Steel Rat’. Think Bond + con men + space + homicidal femme fatales in a retro-future funny kind of way and you’re nearly there.

G for Gaiman, Neil and ‘The Graveyard Book’. American Gods and Neverwhere by him are also great, but I think The Graveyard Book is my favourite so far!
I also have some new prints in my shop, and shipping is free until April 14th with this link.
