"The Curse of The Bone Idol" !!!

Fragment from The Curse of the Bone Idol, by H. Remington Stoutfellow (c. 1842)

"...The guides had all either deserted, died of overwork or been eaten by lions. I was reduced to carrying my own luggage through this blasted jungle. To appease my frustration I was aiming my blunderbuss at a particularly vicious looking porcupine. When a glint of moonlight caught the barrel.

"It was then that I noticed the clearing. 

"I felt the sweat break 'pon my noble brow as I approached the little glade. Here the moonlight was stronger. Unbroken by the trees, it shone like a spotlight  on the ghastly stone figure in the centre of this unholy scab of land. The legends told of a thousand fortunes hidden in its carven belly.

"As I bravely approached the idol, it began to groan and creak like some hellish dining table. And then... then it began to move towards me... " 'Arrgh! It's 'im!' " I cried..."

Okay, that's enough of that...

Here (And below) are some drawings from an "old" Sketchbook (You can use the word "vintage" instead if you're feeling generous...) I include them here, on the Blog, because they are pen and ink drawings.

Free Bookplates!!

Here's a couple of bookplates for those of you who still read the old fashioned way. Go on , print 'em out & deface that overdue library book that the local library has been hounding you for! Stick one in the front of your mother's Dan Brown paperback to add a bit of quality to that shit she reads! Or slap one in that celebrity biography that you bought at the charity shop so when you give it to a friend for Christmas it looks like you actually thought about the present that you only paid fifty pence for!
