More Elfland

I've just posted the last batch of images of my very old book (1992!) Growing Up in Elfland.

This is going to take a while, but I'll start when I get back from the printshop this evening. First up will be a very awkward (in many ways) book of old drawings and poetry I made in 1992. Continue
