I Spent 4 Years Illustrating Forgotten Welsh Folklore Creatures (19 Pics)

I’d like to present you to my newest art book, which has been in the works for nearly four years.

‘Welsh Monsters & Fabled Beasts’ is an ink and watercolor-based illustrated compendium that explores Wales’ mythical monsters. You may be familiar with the Red Dragon (Ddraig Goch), which appears on Wales’ national flag. Unfortunately, many of our other beasts are being ignored in Wales.

I was saddened to learn that my culture is losing access to such a diverse range of creatures and legends. As a result, I made the decision to reintroduce them to Welsh culture and introduce them to a new generation by sharing our rich mythology with the rest of the globe.

I’m really pleased about this art book since it has so much variety and so many fascinating animals. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
