Parable of the Three Witches

A tale, from our world, bequeathed and shrouded from deluding magic, which though banned is practiced without knowledge and darkness looms over as people struggle to survive.

They say it takes three witches to form a coven; only then can more be coerced to join. Yet, three witches can bring darkness to coven, country and all;

It is not craft nor art nor wicca, but mere humanly greed, peasantly ignorance, pained dividing, darkened minds, embittered souls, joined yet shattered whose pale art impales hearts --- that all must watch out for. It is the broth that they kindle that ends up in swindle, and leaves all future dwindle.

Finished Pencil Sketch (K A)

Early Morning Photography

Punch Doggy

Here's an early morning photograph, with my favorite German Shepherd. I have done some post work without messing up with the lighting. Just click through for the high resolution version. This was done without a D-SLR. I like that fact a lot. We call him 'Punch' (after Punch and Jody), and yes there's Judy girl who is tougher to photograph, but will probably make it to my album soon enough.
