Fairytales

“He was walking into Faerie, in search of a fallen star, with no idea how he would find the star, nor how to keep himself safe and whole as he tried. He looked back and fancied that he could see the lights of Wall behind him, wavering and glimmering as if in a heat-haze, but still inviting.” ― Neil Gaiman, Stardust

Cap Cap Wizard

Here's a drawing I gave as a birthday present to the owner of Cap Cap. Cap Cap is an amazing Tea room - Café here in Athens. Cap Cap has two rooms; the first one reminds of old fairy tales and Harry Potter and the second one reminds of Alice in Wonderland. It feels like a dream house, as if time has stopped.It's the best cafeteria I've ever been to. As for the tastes, they're unique and simply delicious.

'DEERWARD' - My New Novel

DEERWARD is a High-Fantasy Novel for New Adults

Alcander is a young prince who lives in the city of Silver Fir, which is being plagued by continuous winter for two decades. Though he’s a generous and patriotic young man, he is disliked by the commoners, who see him as nothing more than the son of the land’s tyrannical queen, Charna. When he discovers a secret about his past, he reconsiders everything he knew so far and he sets forth on an epic quest in order find the source of the evil plague and save his homeland. He comes across deadly enemies and he experiences love, loss and treason. However, the greatest milestone of this quest is a powerful dragon, who will change his fate forever. Alcander isn’t prepared to face the massive changes which are about to happen in his life, but the strength hiding in his heart will keep his hope alive.
