# About me
I'm an old fahioned kind of illustrator who works in traditional mediums, Indian ink and watercolours. I live in Brighton, UK, though I've only just moved here (but it's good to be by the seaside again).I also do a fair amount of craft work, namely papercut and bookmaking, but my current big project is making my own comic.
Besides here, you can slao find me at my etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/freakydragon⦠) or my website:

Same here, I'm eagerly awaiting his next HDM-world book, the book of dust. Though it's been in the works for quite some time...
Thanks for the kind words

Hey! I finally found my way here.. soon to have up my own stuff. Gemma I love your art, I always have and you are just getting better and better!! Don't ever stop drawing.. even when you're 90!

My crippled hands will still drag the pen even then

Thanks, I'm trying to pick it up again, it's been a long time since I've drawn something I'm happy with.
I wonder what life will be like when we're old, how art will develop. I'll still hold to the traditional side of things.

You have a fantastic gallery, even just at the first glance I managed :3 . I'll definately have to browse when I have more time on my hands (it's sleepy time now, if I'm ever going to drag myself out of bed in the morning

Wow, all the way from Aus? It's only 7pm here!
Thank you very much for the kind words, I know my artwork is rather...messy and not to everyone's taste. But I had a look at you gallery and it's lovely, much more mixed media than mine. You obvisouly have great confidence in your drawing ability and some of the more experimental work, like the screenprint, look like you have a great deal of potential in other medias too (I didn't have much patience with screenprinting..)

Haha, yeah. It was after midnight when I posted that, and my partner was getting annoyed
Thats good though, not being to everyones tastes. Shows you work true to your own style, rather than conforming to the more popular tasts of sleek and shiny
Aww, thankyou, the confidence comes and goes XD (and screenprinting involves more cleaning than arting, I have very little patience for it too XD)

I know that feeling, 'Yeah sure...just one more page then bed...'
I have no idea why your confidence would be lacking, your watercolours are also particularly delicate - I slap them on! I probably horrify watercolour artists with my heavy handedness
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, yes, that is me all the time. or "Yeah, I'm coming just as soon as I finish inking this..." ... then crawl into bed three hours later after inking, colouring, scanning and uploading said image XD. My partner's getting used to it
Thankyou 
Haha, thanks, I don't treat them very delicately
Well, I like your heavy handedness

No problem! It's really great work!

I apologize for not waiting for your permission for the vid (I assumed most people would like to have their work made public, especially since they have it posted on the internet).
If it would help at all, I can add a link to your profile and the specific picture in the video description.
Also, the video is here: [link]

Thanks for getting back to me and the link you've added here is more then fine.
I appreciate that you took the time to credit all of the artists at the end of the video.

No problem! I absolutely love the Dark Tower series, and I always find it interesting to see other peoples artisitic vision on what the last gunslinger actually looks like.
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree - the time scale of the Dark Tower stories also allows in a lot of variation in Rolands' age*, allowing for even more variations in each readers' imaginations, it's fantastic to see all those imaginations put to paper

Np, you work is fantastic - from the little characters very full of life to those wonderfully rich characatures
π: 0 β©: 0
Thank you, that's very kind of you
I love how experimental you gallery is, it's always great to see people being unafraid to try all mediums and methods to find 'their' style and favored material. It's a really lovely bold mix.

Christimas slow everybody down, don't worry XD
And yes, my gallery is "schizophrenic", but I like to do new things and see if it's pretty. Really glad tou didn't think I'm just a crazy person playing with crayons!

Sorry to inform you of this, but ~Kashplz is using a script. He added you randomly and never looked at your work. Hereβs a link to an article detailing it: [link] If you would please spread the word by informing more people or posting a journal about it, it will be very appreciated. Also, here is a petition to STOP this kind of thing: [link] If you want to know people REALLY like your art that you work hard on, please ask to be added. One last thing: If you do not want this bot watching you, you can block him. Thatβs all.

Thank you very much for telling me, I'm now going through my watchers to see if there's any others. I can't quite see the point in the process, since stealing art dosen't seem to be the point? What a weird thing to do. Thanks again.

Sounds good - give it a fortnight and I should have some money again for drink/food/relaxing+lols. This months wages went on geeking out on Dans' birthday - Red Dead, Serenity graphic novels...Is it wrong that I bought things I can equally enjoy?
Leona was far too lovely and yet feirce to not fave. Hope I find you well?
