| Vikings II 2017 Gouache and Inks on Paper Sveinn Sharpbeak was a ferocious Viking warrior who sailed great distances with his crew in search of plunder and slaves.

| Dance of the Villagers 2017 Gouache and Inks on Paper After their honeymoon, Roger took his new bride to his ancestral seat, a large estate bordering a great forest.

| The West Wing 2017 Gouache and Inks on Paper Veronica was allowed to visit most of the rooms in Roger’s vast mansion freely, but Roger had always forbidden her from exploring the West Wing.

March of the W.A.R
2017 Gouache and Inks on Paper Veronica fled the mansion after that stormy night. She could find no trace of Roger’s previous wives. Together with the Burnham-on-Sea WI and the women from Roger’s village, Veronica created a movement called Women Against Roger (or W.A.R) whose manifesto was to mobilise the women of the world to bring Roger to justice, whatever it took. It wouldn’t be an easy fight; Roger had great power and wealth. But Veronica was determined, and her friends were behind her.

Roger’s Escape
2017 Gouache and Inks on Paper Over time, the Women Against Roger movement grew in power as more and more women joined their ranks. The tide began to turn against Roger and the W.A.R started to put pressure on law enforcement agencies to reinvestigate the disappearance of Roger’s wives. One evening, Roger received a tip off from a friend on the force that a search warrant would be issued for his mansion the following day. When the police arrived, he was nowhere to be found. Roger decided to go on the lam to the Isle of Eigg, where he hoped to lay low until the heat died down.

| Iceberg III 2017 Gouache and Inks on Paper Roger lived quietly on Eigg for a while, but eventually the W.A.R were alerted to his whereabouts by islanders sympathetic to Veronica’s cause.

She had been looking for Roger for so long, but upon finding him she became suddenly unsure of what she would do next.

| The Cult of Roger 2017 Gouache and Inks on Paper Years after these events, many things in the world had changed. All the bird folk had disappeared or migrated.

They were led by the High Priestess, and they made many offerings to their new god, as well as blood sacrifices (mostly goats).
