  1. T.H. White was writing stories for an era that wasn't here yet. There are scenes in Sword in the Stone that would lend themselves handily to a modern fan Wikipedia treatment.

    Of Madame Mim's cottage: "The Wart caught a hurried glimpse of her parlor and kitchen. The lace curtains, the aspidistra, the lithograph called the Virgin's Choice, the printed text of the Lord's Prayer written backwards and hung upside-down, the sea-shell, the needle-case in the shape of a heart with A Present from Camelot written on it, the broom sticks, the cauldrons, and the bottles of dandelion wine."

    There's a lot going on here.

  2. A couple pieces inspired by Arthurian legends. I prefer the lady of the lake, it really flowed together, very relaxing to create. While the sword in the stone fought me and ended up falling flat. I feel like the tower kills it. Too symmetrical.

    I "paint" using a variety of brushes and stamps. Sometimes I use photos or line art as a starting point. Like a digital combination of speed painting and collage.
