Just delivered book 4... a killer, this one really wore us out, coming straight after book 3 '100 fantasy characters'. Chiara Giulianini joined me at home in the Italian countryside to plough through this one...I couldnt have done it without her... I was almost jealous at the speed she learned the skills !... we delivered just over deadline because some artists let us down at the last minute... fortunately, I LOVE that artist... and being an artist myself I understand how tough it is.... but please, please... any aspiring artists out there...DONT say you'll do it and then dont deliver... even if you cant deliver, just be honest and say so !!!! Its not fair to leave us hanging on ... just communicate !


Anyway, said artist is forgiven... because he did the best he could... end of story.
In the meantime... here are a few sneak previews from the book coming out in Spring 2008 with David and Charles (UK) and Impact (US) and Spain and France etc... and thanks again to Chiara (my right hand), Bob Hobbs and Saya Urabe for hanging in there...
Any other artists want to give me a call ? Please do... but dont let me down !!!!


Here are three out of the 100....first up, the Varcolac... a Romanian werewolf so big it could eat the moon....








.. and Nidhoggr... the dragon of Norse myth who gnaws at the roots of the world tree.. there's a lot classic dragons in this one...





Le Drac is a famous French dragon...





read more about this one in the book...its a fascinating story...





... and finally, the Dhobar Chu... a bizarre Irish killer otter monster... something about the story really put the chill in me and I had to try and depict it...





All the classic dragons and 100 more obscure creatures from around the world in the book... 100 Fantasy dragons and beasts ( or something... check out David and Charles or Impact for details...or Amazon...or Ebay...etc)
