Introducing the Knight of Swords

Meet the Knight of Swords – a man of noble quests, cool intellect and sheer determination… He surveys his surroundings before charging forth with boundless energy … This Knight strikes while the iron is hot and waits for no man on his path to conquer the world.

My initial plan was to complete an ink drawing each week in my visual guide for Nine Lives Tarot… However, I have been forced to accept that life, and the overwhelming busyness (ever present in my life) have managed to claim temporary ownership of my time…

To date, I have failed to convince the Lords of Time that, there are in fact 48 hours in every day! One day soon though, I believe I will they will relent and present me with enough extra time to get lots and lots of things done :)

Lack of time aside, I truly do enjoy every moment I get to spend drawing with my ink pens; The feel of the paper, the sound the pens make as I hatch, line, dot and swirl my way across the drawing – it’s peaceful and inspiring and allows my mind the space to wander …
