I'd love to introduce you to my latest art book which has been over four years in the making.

'Welsh Monsters & Mythical Beasts' is an illustrated compendium exploring the mythical creatures of Wales, comprised of ink and watercolors. You may have heard of the Red Dragon (Ddraig Goch) featured on the national flag of Wales. Sadly, here in Wales, many of our other beasts are being forgotten.

I felt to sad to see that my culture is loosing such an amazing array of creatures and legends that surround them. Therefore, I decided to bring them back to the forefront of Welsh culture and introduce them to a new generation by sharing our rich mythology with the world.

I'm so excited about this art book, there's so much contend and so many unique creatures, I hope you will love it too!

Wow, beautiful work. I'd like to see that on a round badge. Or a mosaic on a round window

    This is my favourite, although not because a lot of the others are more like nightmares (which actually, I love lol). The detail, and the expression, and the way you have incorporated branches and autumn leaves into the mane, it's both beautiful and dangerous looking, perfect! Your art is amazing, thank you for showing us all these creatures! I love mythology and monsters and I'd heard of several, including this, but not all of them, so you're doing a great job!

    What a happy looking little chappy LOL! I have never heard of these winged, fanged frogs before, delightful! You know I am going straight to Google after this post to look them all up :D This, the Mari Lwyd and the Tylwyth Teg are my favourites, but all your art is gorgeous. I hope you are getting the recognition, and sales, you deserve!

    Kermit or Pepe after a nuclear disaster, or a new pokemon. I bet the princess wouldn't kiss this frog.

    Wow, looks remarkably like illustrations of some dinosaurs today. I love all of your drawings, I truly hope they get made into a book with descriptions to help preserve your heritage.
