Painting a Magical World

I have been inspired to do some digital painting as of late. Here I illustrated a scene from my story world, The Islands of Niljora. I have an exciting project in the works for this world of mine. Stay tuned.

Niljora

Niljora, of 'The Stories of Niljora' ©, digital

My latest conception of the mysterious heroine of my mythos, The Stories of Niljora ©. Very excited to have recently published some excerpts from my story, with accompanying art, that has driven so much of the content of my work. While the story is much a world written out, and currently an index to my art, I look forward to bringing it out further in a number of forms. The book is currently available on my website at www.carolinprinn.com.

'From madness and nothingness came the creature Niljora'... 

New Pen and Ink Work

Capturing a story from my epic in development, The Stories of Niljora©. A glimpse into my world. Relating the characters into these flattened planes of pen & inks makes their primordial nature even stronger, a kind of lyrical and hieroglyphic storytelling.

Excerpts From The Large Sketchbook

Ideas are running around my head for my next acrylic series while I am busy getting larger in scale with my pen and inks. I am having another show mid-year in Wellington I am often asked what my work is about as it's quite cryptic and metaphoric. So I thought of a metaphor to describe it...

It's like Socrates and Aristotle arguing on opposite sides of a great table enveloped by a map of the world.

Yes, that works.
