Yay, Comics:

• Fey "Meddlesome Spirits." A Fey short prequel showing how Sorcha and Megan first met.

• 24-Hour Comic Warning Signs Here are some signs I made to keep people away while I work.
• Faerie or Bust My first 24-hour comic. I am so proud. And faintly embarrassed.

Art and Craft

Bookbinding:

• Treelore A book of tree folklore, handbound with calligraphy and illustrations. This comes from my Grove website.
• The Unseen Prize This handbound blank journal was a prize for a writing contest I ran. It is fairly typical of my blank journals.

Drawing:

• Tree sketches Scroll down past the treelore book to see some of my sketches.
• 24-Hour Comic Warning Signs I know, I listed these under comics. But they're drawings, too.

Web Pages

• Anagram for Ink . . . My blog, full of odd comments about writing, books, comics, archaeology (especially the crackpot variety), folklore and assorted other stuff.
• Faery Bibliography I don't think this is going to get any more updates any time soon.
  
• The Grove I've pretty much abandoned this one, but who knows . . .
• Action Figures of Myth and Legend Yeah, this one's never going to be updated, and I've sold most of my toys, anyway.
  
• About PlayStation Portable I don't technically own this site, but I'm the "Guide."
