This is where it all started, for me; not everything, I mean, but this is the first way I hoped to sell my artwork through the World Wide Web.
In the late 1990's I was doing plenty of artwork with digital tools. Although it had been ten years or more since I'd been a painter it still bothered me that I no longer had originals. The work I did now seemed ephemeral when I compared it with the solid reality of the paintings I used to make.
It took a few more years to find a way to offer these prints. They've joined all my other merchandise now and I'm very happy that they're here.
are priced slightly higher.
It’s been a long while since I was a pagan (I just don’t do gods any more), so don’t jump to too many conclusions here; I simply wanted to do something interesting with a bold shape encrusted with knotwork, and I thought that this would be a really striking image. Eventually I did something similar with a Celtic cross, just to muddy the theological waters even more, or to give equal time, or something - because it’s also a striking symbol in its Celtic version.
I’ve done two treatments of the pentacle, one gold, and the other silver; each one is essentially the same except for its palette.
There are eighteen "gripping beast" dragons - ten in the circle, eight in the corners - with several panels of interlaced bands - and of course the pentacle itself is here turned into a knotwork design.
