Loreland

Explore. Imagine. Create. Welcome to Loreland.

Today we step into the realms of magic and myth, I am thrilled to announce the release of a bewitching creation, a magical book years in the making-

Loreland

Loreland is a celebration of the world, of the joy of travel, and the connection between humans and animals. From the highest peaks and deepest valleys the sketchbook has always been there. Loreland is a book holding the histories of world cultures, and I hope with all my heart it inspires young minds to pick up a brush and notice the unlikely beauty around us all.

Within its pages readers will be transported from the worlds of the Babylonians to the Aboriginals to the Norse. Gryphons, vampires, krakens, and many other magnificent beasts and their real-world origins await discovery in Loreland.

As we delve into the realms of Loreland, let us remember that when art merges with imagination, our ideas descend from the clouds of thought, manifesting into extraordinary realities. This book is an homage to the rich tapestry of mythology that has woven itself into the fabric of our collective consciousness on this big blue globe.

Stories exist for a reason. They are the rhyme of histroy we cannot escape. Loreland is an embrace of this song hummed throughout the ages. A celebration of the connection between our minds and the natural world.

I hope that in reading this book, you are taken back to childhood, when learning about the earth and the great creatures we share it with sparked a deep sense wonder. A feeling that sits at the core of human joy. Wonder is the antidote for all darkness. Wonder is the embrace of the unknown rather than the fear of it.

Let the magic of Loreland inspire you, captivate you, and remind you of the infinite possibilities that await those who dare to dream.

Preorders are open!

Thank you so much for reading all this. I hope to write more, to teach more, and to smile more as we all should. I'll be delving back into the waters of graduate studies in Santa Barbara CA this fall. I hope to keep growing this garden of magic amidst the guidance of my fellow proffesors and peers. The gratitude is overflowing, and I'm sending all the love from my paint-stained desk.

Much gratitude, love, and light to you all! If you should like a copy, Loreland is available:

P.S.All adventures need a soundtrack!

Here is a Spotify Playlist I made to embody the feeling of wandering about searching for faeries, riding unicorns, and hunting dragons.
