The Musical?
“Dragon’s Flight” started as an ambitious rock opera concept, exploring the touching story of a she-dragon confronting her own tragedy. The lyrics served as the foundation for the narrative’s outline and structure. Initially, I envisioned it as a children’s picture book, but once I created the first image, it became clear that transforming it into a graphic novel was the next natural step.
Druids to Shamans
“Dragon’s Flight” tells the story of an ancient dragon that endures across the ages, observing the rise and fall of empires, the shifting of deities, and the gradual transformation of a once-sacred land into one marked by ownership. From sun-aligned stone circles to Roman roads, Christian crosses, Viking longships, and the conquests of colonialism, the dragon witnesses history unfold—not as a tale of progress, but as an exertion of pressure.
No Escape
The narrative unfolds across Britain, Ireland, Iceland, and the Americas, intricately blending myth with history. Throughout this journey, the dragon experiences a tapestry of themes including worship, exile, conversion, extinction, and love. This emotional journey is poignantly illustrated through the character of Cecilia, a woman from Barbados who is accused of witchcraft for her unique perspective on the world.
Mythological Non-Fiction
Their fleeting time together underscores a recurring theme in the book: the Earth is so expansive that it can belong to no single person, and as a result, it belongs to everyone.
This book is for readers who love myth with teeth, history with conscience, and fantasy that asks uncomfortable questions.
