Fan-Art Links

It must be because of my passion for things manga and anime that I wanted to devote a section of the site to art work inspired by The Tears of Artamon and my other novels...

So it gives me much pleasure to introduce links to a few sites by talented young artists whose work has impressed me... with more to come soon, I hope. Enjoy!
