Just everyday stuff around me and my illustrations and my family and where I live
1. Trysorfa Arwyr Cymru - A Treasury of Welsh Heroes

I've found a new impulse to post something fresh on here - tell someone you are going to then you just have to do it!! So here I am, flustered because I can't remember what I was going to write, but so long as I keep hitting these keys and making words, a post will happen. Right?


So, since the last time - great stuff - the 'Heroes' books are out and looking wonderful! 


They are published by Pont (English) and Gomer (Welsh)



These are the covers - English version is a soft back, while the Welsh is case bound, and they feature the illustration of Prince Llywelyn in full charge against, er, the English! Oh well, they asked for it!


The pages have been laid out really nicely, and the drop caps for the start of each chapter or poem feature elements from the illustrations. Above is the illustration for the young Dafydd ap Gwylim, eying the splendid salmon he recalls catching with his father. One kind lady thought the painting looked quite Rockwellian - a comment I was more than happy to receive!!


Here is the legendary Owain Glyndŵr rallying the troops to his Golden Dragon battle banner
