The Fisher Kings...

In a strange & unexpected coincidence I seem to have 2 drawings on the subject of the Fisher King (from Arthurian/Grail mythology) coming out in published books shortly. There is no apparent connection between the 2 books, which I will feature here when I get them. Stay tuned on that...meanwhile, here are the images. The second one has been digitally colored.

In the Land of the Fisher King (study)

Here is a new small painting, a study for a theme I've used before (but only in drawings), the Arthurian legend of the Fisher King, the injured king in the land of the Holy Grail. I'm intending to do a larger, more detailed painting of this sometime soon, perhaps.

The Fisher King...digital pulp color

Here is a digitally enhanced & colorized version of the recent Fisher King drawing (original drawing size was 14" x 11")...the color is deliberately a little lurid, to mimic comic books (or pulp magazines) or also medieval colored woodcut prints, which is probably more appropriate in this case.

The Return of the Fisher King

Still fishing, the figure from Arthurian Grail legend:

This image was originally part of a collaboration with LA-based artist NC Mallory which can be seen here. The standalone sketch is here.

The Fisher King

The drawing below is my half of this week's collaboration with NC Mallory -- he is on the West Coast of the USA & I'm on the East. Each week (approximately) we each do an ink drawing on a chosen subject (we take turns to choose) & by the end of the week we combine the drawings & upload them to Flickr. The Fisher King is a part of the Arthurian Holy Grail legend, and you can read more about him here.
