Hello. I'm Andy, a Welsh artist and illustrator.

I began work on my Dragons of Wales project late in 2016. Since then I have published six Dragons of Wales books. I have also produced three dinosaur-themed books: Novosaurs, Old One and Project:Tepui. My next book, Dragons of Deep Time is due to be completed in the late-spring of 2023.

In addition to my own books, I also do some commission work, including dragons and, increasingly, reconstructions of extinct species.

After many years working as a designer, I decided it was time to pursue my real passion, and devote my time to creating illustrations like the ones you can see here. This journey has only been made possible through the support I've received here on Patreon, and through my several Kickstarter campaigns. I'm very grateful for this support, and never take it for granted. I try to repay it by creating as much new content as possible each month for my patrons.

For most of 2021 I'll be producing work for my new book, Project:Tepui, documenting an imagined expedition to discover the dinosaurs of a lost world in the jungles of South America.
Over the coming months, here on Patreon, you'll be able to follow the book's development and be the first to see each new piece of artwork as it is created.

Of course this doesn't mean that I won't also be continuing to produce plenty of new dragons, like the examples below.

As well as exclusive access to my latest work, I also offer a range of other rewards to my patrons, including hand-drawn postcards every month or quarter, digital wallpapers, original pencil-sketches and commissioned digital paintings. Patrons can change their level of support at any time, so you could have a postcard one month, a sketch the next, and perhaps a commissioned painting once in a while. It's entirely up to you!

The full range of rewards is as follows:

For just $1 a month you get exclusive access to all my Patreon posts, and be the first to see all my new work. Several new pieces are uploaded every month.

For $3 you'll receive an original hand-drawn postcard in the mail each quarter. Every dragon will be new and original, enabling you to build up a unique collection.
You also get exclusive access to all my Patreon posts.

For $5 you'll receive a downloadable digital wallpaper each month, featuring one of my new illustrations. Each wallpaper will be supplied in multiple formats to suit desktop, tablet and phone screens. These wallpapers are unique to Patreon.
You also get exclusive access to all my Patreon posts.

For $10 you'll receive an original hand-drawn postcard in the mail each month. Every dragon will be new and original, enabling you to build up a unique collection.
You also get exclusive access to all my Patreon posts and the digital wallpapers.

For $25 you'll receive an original pencil sketch of a new dragon each month. Just give me your ideas for a small Welsh Dragon and let me do the rest. The A5-sized sketch will be mailed to you each month. You also get exclusive access to all my Patreon posts and the digital wallpapers.

For $50 you can commission a full-colour, highly detailed digital painting of your own dragon or dinosaur. Just give me your ideas and let me do the rest. You will receive a high-resolution digital file of your creature, which is yours to use in any way you wish - for prints, cards, stationary, websites, whatever you choose. You also get exclusive access to all my Patreon posts and the digital wallpapers.

Don't forget that you can cancel / amend your pledge at any time, so if you just want to commission one illustration, rather than every month, no problem!

The support of my patrons enables me to devote as much time as possible to this work, allowing me to create more new dragons, dinosaurs and books. Without their support, it simply wouldn't be possible.

Thank you

Andy, June 2020.
