I could gaze at a Kinuko Craft painting til the ravens come home, especially the ones detailed like this mythopia — looking akin to, but so much more elevated than, medieval illuminations.
Kinuko Craft — Isabo & the Mystery of Aislin House — 2008
Hi Thom, This illustration is for Patricia McKillip's fantasy fiction novel, The Bell at Sealey Head. I read it recently, and I loved it, like all of McKillip's work. I also did a book talk recently on McKillip's fiction incorporating Kinuko Y. Craft's art. From my research, I learned that Craft reads an entire work and becomes immersed in it before she even begins a draft.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
