Faeries

I really love faeries, and I think the idea of them existing is an awesome thing. (Of course we cannot see them, but that's simply because they only allow themselves to be seen when they want to!)

Someone I admire a lot is Brian Froud - he is an awesome artist and illustrator - and he's inspired me to start creating my own drawings of faeries and mystical things, so here are some I have drawn recently.

webs

The story behind "webs" is the idea of a girl sleep walking, and her demons (in this case a spider) is getting her caught up in webs of lies, she sleepwalking in a land where she doesn't know the truth. It didn't turn out the way I wanted, but the day I drew "webs" I was outside going for a walk and it started pouring down rain, so I found some shelter (I was at least a mile from home), and I ended up waiting there for four hours until the rain stopped, so I ended up drawing that picture :)
