"I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt."
- Robertson Davies, Tempest-Tost

Here's my fan art, divided into themed categories. Most of the older stuff is for Harry Potter, but some art for non-Potterish subjects can be found at the bottom of the page.

Mini-Icons!
These are my ever-growing range of cartoon icons, which you may have seen people using on Livejournal and elsewhere.

They come in the following flavours:

Harry Potter: Serious
This is my non-jokey Potter art, and it's mainly inspired by Art Nouveau and Aubrey Beardsley. Keen viewers may notice that I've started to throw away some of my older stuff, but only things I wasn't very happy with (in other words, you're not missing much):

The Harry Potter Gallery of Modern Art
Did you know that some of the best-known artists of the last century used to produce Harry Potter fan art in their spare time? Sadly, that's a complete lie... but if it were true, the results might have looked something like this:

Harry Potter: Beastly Collection
This art was inspired by JKR's Comic Relief book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Here's my collection of "things with too many legs":

Harry Potter: The Musicals
One of my larger projects was to provide HP art for Caius Marcius's huge and hilarious Harry Potter Filks Site, and as you might expect, it's all on a musical theme. Check out the site to see it in context, or if you like, look at it here.

Harry Potter: Silly Stuff
This is the part where I show off HP-related sketches and funnies, which often have esoteric explanations that time has often forgotten (or that canon has long since overwritten). Still, here they are for posterity's sake:

Harry Potter: Icons

Not Potter!
There is plenty of fandom life outside the realm of Harry Potter. And here's a bit of it:

Stay tuned for additions and improvements, as my muse strikes me.
