Perhaps a depiction of Cernunnos. A horned figure holds the tails of two dogs or wolves. Carved on the market cross in Kells, Ireland. I drew this (after a drawing by R. W. Feachem) for an article on the Wild Hunt.

Up is fine...


Upside down is fine too.

"Mountain Guardian"

A Wood Witch or Sap Seer. From The World of Wold.


Death, outlandish in his mummer's garb, prepares to open the gates of winter...


A whale is almost always self-explanatory.


Occasionally, if I have no other choice, I will sculpt and even sew. (Left to right: Hob Mother, House Elf, Goblin Thespian, Common Puck)


When Met In The Woods, Old Women with Tails and Hooves Should Always be Trusted.


A case of curious things. This is from a small display of my work exhibited at the Imagining The Fantastic Conference in April 2011. The upright carving depicts Winter in all his skeletal glory. On the other side is a portrait of a youth that outwits him. Inspired by an ancient Northern tale. Made from Elk antler I found long ago in the redwood forests of the west coast. The rune tine is also made from elk. It is a copy of an early inscribed artifact that might have been used as a hunting charm, or some kind of transformational magic.

"Time is a sort of river of passing events, 

and strong is its current; 

no sooner is a thing brought to sight 

than it is swept by and another takes its place, 

and this too will be swept away."
