Do You Like The New Look?

Once more I have decided to change template for the blog. I have realized that it is much more convenient to have the sidebar at the left side of the screen. I have tried to simplify the layout and make the blog clearer and easier to read and search. Please let me know what you think about the new look.

Who Decided What Star Wars Should Look Like?

The answer is: Ralph McQuarrie. The concept art of this legendary artist was actually used by Lucas to promote the idea of the first film and capturing the interest of the movie companies. I apologize for not adding him to the "Other artists" link list. I hope to add quite a few inspiring names in the days to come, making the list grow considerably in the next few days.

(Updated!) For Lovers of Dinosaurs and Anything Else Imaginable

Just made another great addition to my link collection. This time to the website and blog of James Gurney, author of the Dinotopia books and the inspiring Imaginative realism. At both these pages you will find loads of great art resources. Do take a look.

Dragon Portraits - Dragon and Fantasy Artwork

Would you like to see a drawing of yourself or your loved ones as dragons? Or being surrounded by dragons, riding on dragons, having afternoon tea with dragons... Then you should visit the site Dragon Portraits that my friend Lisa Gravelle-Ford runs (now added to the "Other artists" link list). Her specialty is dragon and pirate art, but she also takes comissions for other subjects. A truly unique and inspiring site.

Chris Moore - Master of Composition

Just added a link to another great artist. Chris Moore is a famous illustrator, known for the marvellous compositions of his paintings. He is one of the masters analyzed and featured in Charles Bernard's Arttrek series. I truly recommend visiting his site and spending some time in his galleries. Inspiring and educational.

The "Golden Leaves" Store Opened Yesterday!

Yesterday the Fantasytree blog evolved visually as well as when it comes to what content it has to offer it's readers. A new template was chosen resulting in a less demanding layout and a blog that is easier to read and search. Besides from that, the Fantasytree Store Golden Leaves opened it's gates. Looking for great fantasy/sci-fi-related products? Movies; Music; Novels; Games; Art Books - Look no further. The store will keep growing and continually update its products - based on what I have tried or purchased myself and can honestly recommend. Soon you should be able to find just what you've been looking for.

The Golden Leaves store is found at the bottom of the page - no need to even leave the site when you feel like shopping or if you are just curious about what I recommend. If you prefer to visit the store in a separate window, just click here.

Please comment on these changes in order to keep this blog being the one you have always dreamed of.

Apart from that it is still the same old fantasy geek writing and drawing and dreaming about distant kingdoms where dragons cross the crimson skies and anything is possible...

Peace

Same Dreams, New Look - And a Fantasytree Store!

I have realized that I have to make some changes to the blog. The main reason is that I need more space in order to present the content the way I want to.

The main changes will be:
- New template, allowing wider post with bigger images
- The addition of a Fantasytree store, selling products related to the content of the blog.

I hope you - the reader - don't mind these changes and that they will make the blog an even more enjoyable haven in a chaotic, challenging - or just way to ordinary - reality. Keep reading and please give me feedback so I can make this blog even better.

Peace
/Magnus
