I love his linocuts - particularly how he captures the bravery of the plucky knight who faces such ferocious beasts. Take a look at his shop here.

Firstly I would like to thank Rosie for making me a part of her blog, I'm very flattered!
ReplyDeleteSecondly I would like to say a little about what inspires my work.
I am largely inspired by my love of history, horror, mythology and folklore.
I have always found the stories and characters of the past (whether factual or fictional) to be fascinating!
All you need to do is look back a few hundred years to find tales of witches, dragons, knights, kings, demons, heroism, romance and monsters.
It is these wonderful narratives that I attempt to convey in my artwork. And I hope I am able to capture some of their magic.
Thanks again!
