Here be dragons

[Anne Stokes]

I am delighted to announce that a calendar for 2009 of my dragon artworks, published by Llewellyn, went on general release on August 1st :) Below are a few of the featured images.

This little chap is a Spiny Woodland Hopper. Maybe if you look hard enough you might spot one in your local woodland ;)

One of the darker images in the calendar, this piece is tiltled "Controller".

This image was originally commissioned as a novel cover for the Curse of Arastold. It was also chosen for the cover of Harper Collin's, Fantasy Art Now - best of new fantasy art compliation. In the calendar this dragon appears for July.

Nice paganism. We should lean more to that in this age.
