    The World of Avis

    Friday, August 13, 2010, 02:26 PM EST [General]

    Below is a work-in-progress map for a home role-playing game. A more detailed map will be posted soon.

    The world of the setting will have a strong "Fairy Tale" quality to it, with a fair sprinkling of Sword and Sorcery. It is meant for new gamers who love fairy tales and fantasy. Dragons, unicorns and the sort of magic you find in young adult fantasy series.

    The Black Pit of Despair

    Monday, July 19, 2010, 09:45 AM EST [General]

    An illustration for the wonderful Dark World Magazine. The magazine focuses on Sword and Sorcery style short stories. The entire magazine is top notch and well worth checking out.

    The website for the magazine can be found here: www.gwthomas.org/darkworldsindex.htm

    The Inmates of Cell Block 910

    Thursday, July 1, 2010, 12:11 PM EST [General]

    I recently caught these feral kittens and their mother (already pregnant again).

    If I could have saved any of them, it would have been this little guy. He showed the most intelligence and bravery. Alas, my own cat would have none of it.

    I guess that feral ain't for real.

    Small Wood

    Monday, June 7, 2010, 10:58 AM EST [General]

    I was poking through a small wooded area in my home town yesterday, and I thought I would share.

    It was a bit swampy, but full of birds and that deep green feeling that is such a joy to take a leisurely walk through.

    Thanks for your comment about my Orb photo. No I don't have special filters it's a Samsung Digimax530, 5 megapixels camera I bought a few years ago. I just use automatic settings because I don't know much about photography! I just point and click :) All I did to the photo shown was to lighten it a bit using the AutoSmartFix button in Adobe Photoshop Elements which adjusted the contrasts to show the Orbs better. But no other editing. It's an intriguing mystery...I took some more photos last night too some of which have different orbs, others had none. Someone else suggested they may be dust particles in the air refracting back the flash but they are not in every consecutive photo. Like I say in my blog, I studied as a scientist and can quite understand the need to verify what exactly they are...but I am intrigued.

    Hi Aaron,
    I love your drawings. Very imaginative and fanciful. Lots of Luck with your books! I know they will be wonderful! Are they available now? Do you have some work in color?
    I love children's books also, and collect old ones. I also share your love of the Movies you mentioned. I agree, the first Neverending Story, and Willy Wonka were great!
    Keep up the fantastic work! You're very talented! Enjoy the rest of the Summer!

    Hi, Aaron!

    Thanks for the kind comments regarding my illustration "Amongst Faerie Oaks". It's interesting that it would remind you of the old Dungeons & Dragons art. My influences must be showing again.

    Cheers!
