Welcome to The Willowed Path

This willowed pathway leads to the extra-ordinary Hamlet of South Baleful. Along its meandering course you will discover the bits and sundries that make the residents of the Hamlet of South Baleful, who they are. So, as you wind your way down the Willowed Path, take the time to enjoy what you find. And please, don’t mind the faeries – they can be SUCH a bother, this time of year.

CURRENT WORK


Salutations!

It has been some time since I've posted an update as to what is on the board. Currently, I am doing an ad-piece for a knife company. I am scheduling this piece to be finished by the end of the weekend, or early next week.




Then, it's back onto something a little more whimsical. I would like my Hamlet of South Baleful pieces to more loose, and open. So, with that said, I plan to set the pace with a VERY loose piece. But, we will see how it evolves.
