Thanks to all who have visited my humble little gallery of too many sketches and silly creatures. I'm happily graduated from college and still not a professional artist yet. I've appreciated all the comments and criticizms people have offered up. I do still find myself improving, albeit very slowly.

A selection of artists of influence are Leonardo Da'Vinci, Max Ernst the surrealist, Den Beauvais, who does beautiful dragons, Bob Eggleton's dazzle of color, and Daniel B. Merriam's enchanting surrealistic works to name a few.

I read a lot. Among others, Tolkien is a classic fantasy favorite, along with the heart-stirring Charles de Lint, the eloquent Barbara Kingsolver, the harsh ponderousness of Margaret Atwood, the fantastical, playful Alan Dean Foster, and the dark, sultry Laurell K. Hamilton.

Besides that I've long had a love for the outdoors, nature, and the wildlife that is a part of it. Despite the mosquitoes, sunburns, and ants, it's still a cool place to be.

Well, congratulate yourself if you've actually read through all of this blurb. Be welcome to leave any compliments or criticizms, both have equal value to me and most of all have fun exploring through this tangled mass of half-finished, finished, old and new artwork.

Like some of the new stuff (new to me, anyway). No more scanner, but drawing with a mouse comes with practice just like anything else. I think. I don't know, I can't draw with a mouse to save my soul... 21 Jul 2002 Lizzie Bundick Loading... Dragons! I love your dragons! Thank you for commenting! 27 Oct 2002 Kat Deloren Loading... Beautiful dragons~! 18 Feb 2003 Amy L. Moore Loading... Awesome dragons! Great gallery! 26 Apr 2003 Jessica Palmer Loading... Hi! Thanks for your comments on my work on the Yahoo forum - great gallery! I think I like your sketchier stuff the best, like the werewolf in "Emergence" - he's got some real energy and drama going on. But the bill series is pretty darn cool, too! jess 4 Oct 2003 Wendy Van Camp Loading... You have some beautiful sketches here. I really love your feathered dragon. 15 Nov 2003 Anonymous Loading...

I came here after I saw your gallery link on the gryph list... I WAS here before!!! You have a fine gallery, I like it. And yes, I trade as well from time to time! *waves* Tylior Alice Hsieh (Changewinds) replies: "Well, hello Yes, look me up for a trade some time. My gryphs aren't always goofy. Just never end up getting the well polished stuff up. Still stuck in the nether regions of my sketchbook like so much is. *Sigh* But anyway, thanks for coming by!" Page: [1] 2 3 4
