There is a strong relationship between the castle Dinas Bran in Llangollen and King Arthur that I just couldn't pass up on interpreting into an illustration.

Full description

So it was time to re-visit my old friends and breathe a new life into them. As so often the case, it started with re-working one and led to them all. So here he is, looking far grander.

King Arthur, the mythical 6th-century British king.

One recurring aspect of Arthurian literature was the notion that he would one day return as a raven. The raven is a bird strongly associated with myth and legend. In Wales and the West Country, it was held to be a royal bird.

After having researched King Arthur, I was delighted to discover the strong links he has with Castell Dinas Bran (translated as Crow Castle) an apparent resting place of the Holy Grail.

Illustrations drawn with ink, scanned and digitally printed.
