Heres another link. This time to the artist Justin Gerard. His fantasy art is done mainly in watercolour which he then sometimes adjusts in photoshop. I particularly love the work he has done based on Tolkiens books.

Crooked house pen drawing
In this image I have taken the idea of the crooked house and applied the building to an illustration for one of my own stories. I dont want to give too much away about the plot at this point as the whole thing is a work in progress.

There was a crooked man...
A few years ago I thought it would be a nice idea for a book to re-imagine classic nursery rhymes. This was done in inks with overdrawing in fineliner. I did a couple of other versions of this which I will probably post soon.

Greg 'Craola' Simkins
I am going to attempt to start adding links to my favourite artists blogs and websites.
The first one, (all being well), is the great Greg 'Craola' Simkins.
I would describe his work as being modern Surrealism. He has some timelapse videos of him painting on youtube and he makes it look so effortless. I can only dream of being as good as this guy. Painting is one of the art disciplines that I had spent more time practising.
I am not sure if I can include examples of his work without breaching copyright so to err on the side of caution I wont do it for now.
Anyway heres the link and enjoy.
