There be Dragons!

Peter has painted fantasy Dragons galore: fire breathing dragons, dragon slayers, magic dragons, water dragons, double dragons, dragon legends, dragon pictures of every kind - dragon lairs and. well, you name it, pictures for dragon tales of probably every kind,

They appear everywhere because they are such a very attractive Fantasy proposition. Peter has done quite a number of popular, and very successful, dragon (or dragon-like beasties) printings over the years: many have been used on paperbacks with the odd magazine thrown in and of course some computer games covers, a rough list from memory includes but is not limited to >

Dawn on the Dragons (twice!) - paperback
The warlock of Firetop Mountain (also twice!) - paperback
Dungeon Quest (role-play game)
Dracula lives (magazine interior)
The Crystal Gryphon - paperback
Black Tiger (computer game cover)
Sleeping Gods Lie - paperback
The Dungeons of Torgar - paperback
Legends of Lone Wolf - paperback
Dream Park - paperback
The Demon Lord - paperback
Shadow on the Sand - paperback
Myth Direction - paperback

to name just a few!

These were done mainly during the 80's & 90's and appeared on Jigsaws, role-play game box covers, magazine covers, paperback covers, boardgames, trading cards and even a Japanese telephone card.

We dealt with so many companies around the world who licensed the work from us perhaps too numerous to name but a few and here's a short list for those interested >

and probably more I can't recall!

As I said, they've all been extremely popular and we had our work cut out to remain on top of licensing the reproduction rights!

When Peter made the decision to become "self-published" in 1999 it did not, and has not, seen the end of dragon paintings . . . . . . .

He included dragons in his book "Paintings of Ludlow" which, though about a rural town in the County of Shropshire in rural England, is steeped in the Arthurian legend and the very roots of that legend are in the prophesy concerning "the Red Dragon of Wales and the White Dragon of England" and that too has lead to some newer works being created in the studio right now.

To our great satisfaction these dragon art pictures remain as popular as ever and a testimony to the magic of our personal dragon quest and with the release of the "Heroes & Villains" book you'll be able to see new works, or see anew if you are of "that generation", these stunning images and, as is always the case with the release of one of Peter's books, you may just find a surprise or three lurking amongst the dragons you already know.

Around the site here you'll find all sorts of freebies, dragon wallpaper, dragon phone backgrounds, and dragon greeting cards that we even give away in competitions from time-to-time.

 

Rouaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark!

(that's the best at dragon sound impressions I can manage, add your own for accuracy).

'Til next issue,
