I've been doing computer stuff instead of making art, so I'll just post an older artwork here today. It's a water spirit made in pastel pencils on blue paper.

When much of the north of England suffered under the rapid changes of post-industrial malaise it’s nice to hear of one remaining family business still going strong.

A sinister water spirit - known by several names in folklore, including Nix, water-horse or each-uisge - taking a boy into the lake. They say children are often enticed to climb onto their backs and then get stuck there as the water creature returns to the lake.
