Let’s Create Something Magical

“The Ancient Ones”

A Book of 30 Gods & Goddesses from around the world.

illustrated using fine art graphite & watercolor techniques. Researched and traced back as far as their roots will allow.

But I can’t do this without you.

I mean I could, but it would take a decade or two.

30 high quality Illustrations is a massive undertaking that requires hours of work. Around 15 hours each to be exact. That’s 450 hours in just the illustrations alone!

If ancient mythology & Folklore is something you’re as excited about as I am, I have a request:

Please help me!!!

Whether it’s $1 or $400, every single penny helps me pay my bills and allows me time to toil over this passion project.
