23 Sep 2004	Rosanna Hans	Loading... Wiccan? I looked at this one and thought "Green Man" straight off. Well done - it's very traditional-looking. And prettiful. With nice shading. There go my language skills.... Christopher bell replies: "i am not a wiccan,but if i was anything i would probably be a pagan!i love celtic and pagan myths among other things and i am really into the green man!thank you"
24 Sep 2004	Els Ferson	Loading... Coooool especially the way everything morphs into leafs! Christopher bell replies: "thank you!"
25 Sep 2004	Christina L. DeVillier	Loading... Well, the oak and holly king are old pagan traditions, yes? Very nice. I love to see work on elfwood in pencil, as I work mainly in that myself. This is an impressive piece. I hope to see more of your work in the future. Christopher bell replies: "i am very inspired by pagan mythology as it isentwined with everything we do today,many festivals today have there roots in our pagan past.i will add more pieces soon.thanks"
2 Feb 2005	Jelena Dunato	Loading... Beautiful. All your images of the Green Man are stunning. By the way, have you ever seen the capitals and consoles by Peter Parler and his circle? You might find them interesting.
4 Feb 2008	Anon.	Loading... this is very good i love the way you combined nature with humans, almost like a nymph yet different at the same time and the eyes are killer!!!! the eyes look inncent, and yet angry at the same time. amazing
4 Dec 2008	Jezbellydancer	Loading... Actually the Holly King rules from Mid Summer to Yule, when the Oak (Sun) King is reborn. Or some say from Mabon to Imbolc. This is lovely, you see a lot of the green man as Oak King, but lilte of his Darkling Brother. You should turn him into a t-shirt on cafepress, I’m sure people would buy it.
