Elory's Joy - The Illustrations

When the time came to start thinking about illustrating my (first?) completed book of classic, original fairy tales, of course I wanted to do Symbol Paintings to go with each fairy tale.

The stories from Elory's Joy are fantastic creations. They are at the furthest end of all my skills and capabilities with shamanic streaming and channelling, languaging, energy and metaphor; they are a gift from me for "the child within", the stories I should have been told when I was a child but I wasn't. It seemed important that this omission should be corrected, very important, actually, and so Elory's fairy tales are a personal development/healing/intelligence enhancing device like no other.

However, it is entirely possible that at some point, someone other than myself gets their hands on Elory's Joy, and so I compromised and chose to do the symbol hybrids instead - essentially symbol paintings, but they have a component of a recognisable shape so that people's conscious minds have something to lock on to and don't feel left out.

All these illustrations are very simple, and they are also immensely complex on many levels.

Each one is particular to the fairy tale absolutely and in every way; each one took me between three days and a week to make.

So here they are.
