    From Chaos to Eternity Crystal Island


  • This illustration was drawn for Robin Laws’ Yellow King RPG‘s Paris book, a portrait of Addhema, vampire and excellent dresser, unconcerned about an attempt to incinerate her. It was created in watercolour and coloured pencil, and took inspiration from the art of the era, including the symbolist and late romantic painters, as well as sculpture and poster design.

  • The Golden Bear


    This fantasy illustration was created in watercolour and pencil crayon, and is 9 x 12″ on watercolour paper. It features a determined traveller carrying a cranky golden bear in a bag. The sun is just starting to rise and the mist clearing from the ground as they walk onward. We can see a golden bear insignia on the traveller’s sleeve.


  • This illustration, featuring a 5th Edition D&D cleric named Brialma, was painted in gouache on hot press watercolour paper, at about 8 x 10″ in size. The scene is taken from 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, or DnD, and was inspired by some of our in-play failures to detect or defend our characters against monsters and traps.


  • Drawing – Lonely Visitor


    This drawing on cream paper is an exploration of the Crystal Island concept to include people. The figure creates a psychogeography of the landscape.

    The landscape in this drawing was taken from reference photos of French River Provincial Park, an absolutely gorgeous place in Ontario, Canada. There are delicate tall pines and windswept shrubs and bushes along the shores of a rushing river, passing through a deep gorge. Despite the speed of the water and the constant wind, the place feels still and isolated and special.
