Return to Neverworlds







Well the time has come to return to Neverworlds.Bring on the Lost boys and Pirates, the faeries and storytellers, card readers, and belly dancers. But most of all light up the dream tree, set off your imagination and open your heart to any possibility that may present itself if only for three days in the shadow of Mt. Pisgah.
I am very excited to say the least, and there is a lot to get done over the next few months. But I am so lucky to have the help of amazing friends to design and bring this thing to life. You have no idea how wonderful it is to just create with friends, a place like this, and then try to make it become something real. Truth be told its the only way anything like this can become reality, by sharing in the primordial milky soup of creativity, that something far greater than you ever anticipated can come out. Thank you everyone for all the help and continued craziness that will grow out of this.
This year we will be adding some fun new areas including a Tea Party and a Gypsy Circle with story tellers and fortune tellers, not to mention circus school and treasure hunts with the Lost Boys, and fun Eco friendly crafts at the Indian encampment!! Oh yeah and a huge freaking pirate ship stage!! so much to do !!

A new book of creatures, gods and godesses.







A few years ago i started a book of illustrations of fae creatures, mainly from Europe, that really got me started on my current artistic bent towards the folklore of the world. Now i am starting a new book, that will focus on the folklore of Asia and the pacific islands. I am finding i can easily do a book on just one country, the stories and spirits, gods, and other inhabitants in these stories are amazing. The first book took about a year to finish hopefully this one wont take so long. Here are some pics from the first book i did, and the first pic from the second. This is drawing of Hanuman a character that is the depiction of loyalty and companionship.

Simplify











It has been a long time since my last post. and I have been doing a great deal of trying to simplify my life. I have done things I am amazed at, getting rid of my movies, CDs, treasured toys, and even I cant belive this most of my books. I am so sad!! However it is all for the good.
I have reliazed I dont need much, just a roof (a small one at that) and plenty of paper so I can draw dream and create, and on occasion let a few friends come by to visit. Here are a few pics of what Id like that to become.
