Delve into the fantasy realms dreamt up by this independent illustrator with a love for magic and myths
FAE PRINCE
“Fantasy, especially fantasy that has magic, dark forests, and fae creatures that bewitch humans, is my favourite genre. I often like to draw and imagine characters that would exist in a world like that.”
FREYJA’S QUEST
“For this sketch of Freyja I wanted to incorporate some Scandinavian-style knotwork into the frame behind her, so I used the Urnes Stave Church in Norway as reference!”
SPELLBOUND SECRETS
“I love sketching young witches. They are at the age of coming into their power but don’t yet have the wisdom to not bite off more than they can chew, which can lead to interesting magical conflict and stories.”
DARK FAIRY TALE
“When linework gets very detailed in a sketch, it can really help to lay down another tone in order to see the silhouette of the character, like in this sketch.”
FREYJA, CAT MUM
“I love that the Norse goddess Freyja has two cats. I wanted to draw this beautiful warrior goddess of love and war with her two adorable furbabies!”
CATS CANDLES AND TEA
“I drew this piece as a depiction of myself with my two cats. Little did I know that they would both pass away not too long after I drew this. Now this piece holds an extra special place in my heart to commemorate our time together.”
ARTEMIS
“This is a reimagining of Artemis in trousers! I also love incorporating her symbolism of the moon, antlers, arrows, and forest plants.”
DEATH
“I often use art to help process my emotions. Over the past year, I experienced a few losses in my life and felt pulled to draw the personification of death, but I wanted her to feel peaceful. As if she is a comforting escort of souls in the world beyond.”
UNDERWORLDLY ROMANCE
“I draw a lot of mythology and one of my favourites to reinterpret is Hades and Persephone. In this sketch, I imagined that it was a reunion that happens every autumn and winter when Persephone returns to the Underworld.”
MOONLIT DRYAD
“A portrait of an elf or a fae is my ultimate comfort zone. I love drawing the fae and imagining their stories
