The Masked One Comics

The Masked One, a mysterious mythical figure, travels the British Isles, bartering her magical skills to survive the harsh land. But her somewhat carefree existence is ruined when an ancient enemy reappears...

Taking a little break from Social Media. I have a couple of projects I need to finish, including my little mini-comic of the Masked One, and a class coming up. I’m neglecting my little corners of the web, and I just wanted to let you guys know I’m not completely dead yet. Have this random picture of some clouds to make up for my absence in the meantime. Thanks for the support. 😊 #iwontbegonelong #holidayheadaches #clouds

October is going to be a busy month for me! Starting things off, I’ll have a table at #ape2015 ! I’ll have my comic books and stickers for sale, as well as some new prints. It will be at the San Jose Convention Center this year. I’m sad it’s no longer in San Francisco, but I’m really looking forward to the new location. It’s from 10 to 5 on Saturday and Sunday. I hope to see you there!! 😛

Yorkshire Dales

Hay meadows and green pastures full of wild flowers dip into deep glacial valleys and reach right up into the Pennine hills, where you’ll be treated to some incredible views. Rolling hills, deep ravines and waterfalls make this some of England’s most rewarding landscape, and you’ll find cosy little villages throughout. Find out more

Dartmoor

Dartmoor National Park is a rugged, eerily beautiful place which is great for hiking and climbing. Literature fans take note: this wild landscape features in the Sherlock Holmes adventure The Hound of the Baskervilles. Find out more

Archaeologist reconstructs faces of Stone Age people

Within his studio in the Stockholm suburban community of Tumba, Sweden, archaeologist-sculptor Oscar Nilsson is applying a highly specialized knowledge and set of skills to reconstruct realistic and scientifically-informed likenesses of individuals who lived long before us.

His work, unlike more ‘sensational’ archaeological and paleoanthropological discoveries reported in the press such as the identification of the bones of King Richard III and the more recent discovery of Homo naledi, do not make headlines. But he makes both written and unwritten history an up-close-and-personal experience for academics and the public alike. He creates, quite literally, faces of our collective past. 

One of his upcoming projects involves the reconstruction of the face of a Stone Age man whose remains were unearthed near Ulricehamn, Sweden in 1994. Read more.

What will happen next??!

See the conclusion next Wednesday.  Thank you for all the support far! Sorry for the late reminder.

Medieval Bones Burst From Ground When Tree Topples

The skeleton of a Medieval teenager has literally burst from the ground when storms in Sligo, Ireland, blew over a massive, centuries-old beech tree, revealing bones entangled in the roots.

“The upper part of the skeleton was raised into the air trapped within the root system,” archaeologists Marion Dowd of Sligo-Leitrim Archaeological Services, said in a statement.

“The lower leg bones, however, remained intact in the ground. Effectively as the tree collapsed, it snapped the skeleton in two,” Dowd said.

Analysis of the bones and radiocarbon dating suggest the remains belonged to a 17-20-year-old man who lived in the early Medieval period, between 1030 and 1200 A.D. Read more.
