About me: Greetings! I would like to welcome you to my world of myth, magic, romance and fantasy. I am a self taught artist following in the footsteps of new romantics Barry Windsor Smith, Mike Kaluta, Robert Gould and Thomas Canty. The work of these artists led me to discover the works of the pre-raphealites and art nouveau artists like Alphonse Mucha. The magical realism of Michael Parkes is a recent influence, more for content than style, one more element in the synthesis of my artwork. For any of you who might be members of the SCA (where I am known as Baron Bragg MacMorrichai) you may have already seen my work in one of their many publications. I currently reside in Birmingham Alabama USA with Wife Crystal, son Connor ,daughters Moira and Alicia. I sincerely hope you enjoy my work.I am currently working on a Tarot deck, and as it is a mystical project as well as an artistic one it has it's starts and stops. I hope to be done some time next year. Hey, it's 78 cards! Check out what I have so far in the slide show below. Major props to my wife Crystal for getting this all online so ya'll can see it.
Who I'd like to meet: Thomas Jefferson, JRR Tolkien, Harper Lee, the first man to eat an oyster, Timothy Leary, Katherine Heigl or pre Marilyn Manson Rose McGowen, my Dad when he was young, Johnny Carson, Frank Lloyd Wright, Joseph Campbell
