Since I've added quite a few friends since the last time I did this -

I keep another blog at Eithin, in which I talk about art & design, and post things I've done or been working on. (I do printmaking, painting, drawing, calligraphy, some photography, and basically some of anything else that catches my eye. There's a gallery here, which I update from time to time with what I think are the keepers.)

I do sell originals or prints, and will usually be happy to take on custom orders or specific projects if anyone's interested. The digital versions are CC:BY licensed (unless I've given a photo credit, as here) so they're free to reuse, modify, and generally muck around with so long as you link back to my original.

There's an LJ feed at eithinarts, too.

Have a work-in-progress picture, too. (Flickr link - the original post is here.) It's an attempt to represent the firework dragon Gandalf summons at Bilbo's birthday party, as it might appear if The Fellowship of the Ring were a mediaeval illuminated manuscript. (Incidentally, Pauline Baynes got her start on illustration with some reinterpretations of manuscript marginalia.)



It's currently sitting on my workboard with the first colour coat - red, naturally - drying.

This is just a quick note for those of you who aren't reading eithinarts to say I've added some more pictures of things I made to the gallery. Here's one for your delectation - a T-shirt done through the magic of acrylic paint and masking tape. Some of you may recognise gnillot who was kind enough to spend an evening modelling for me.



More ideas for designs or styles are very welcome, as are requests - time's a bit tight for mailing things for the Christmas season, but if you live locally it's eminently possible. My rates are very reasonable indeed.

I've blogged my trip to Utopia over on Eithin. There's an LJ feed I set up, at eithinarts, which'll apparently be updated in about twenty minutes from the timestamp on this post.

Warning for some of my readers: in that post, I talk about eating one of the chicken flock there. No photos.

I'm most likely going to be using that blog for most substantive purposes, but I'm not moving off Livejournal entirely, so if you enjoy reading my blogging either add that or put the RSS links into your favourite feed aggregator. (Let me just put in a good word for Bloglines here, it's what I use.)
