Monica Richards U.S. release of InfraWarrior (May 2007 - Mercyground Label) features a 3-Panel digipack with a 12 page booklet designed by Monica with a little assistance from me. (-CLICK HERE TO SEE SOME OF THE ARTWORK-) She was kind enough to let me play with some imagery and ideas which were incorporated into the design work and printed on the CD itself. For me, this is an honor bestowed. The music is composed by Monica and marks her first solo album featuring collaborations instrumentally and vocally with many of her highly regarded friends and peers, and with an incredible introduction called "Gaia" spoken by her own father, Lloyd Richards, which is the only male voice heard on the CD. InfraWarrior is masterfully produced by Monica's husband, William Faith, who also played much of the music. Described as a "Tribal-Classical" effort, her lyrics and vocals highlight many thematic aspects including women's issues from many cultures, global Goddess consciousness, animal cruelty, self determination, legends and dreams. A mix of poetic spoken word, rhythmic chants, and rich vocals borne from a heartfelt core intensity of a magnitude rarely found today, this CD offers a menagerie of soundscapes which will enthrall any listener with an open mind and appreciation for a pure blend of art and music. Yes, I am biased, but with good reason. I have had the rare opportunity to watch this project develop almost from the begining. Listen for yourself and decide. The banner above will take you to The Mercyground for a full description, track and credit listing, and ordering options. You can also visit monicarichards.com for even more information and insight to my friend's many works, including ANAFAE. Also visit the Mercyground Store where you can Order InfraWarrior Tees!!

ARS TERRA Non-Profit Eco-Animal Sanctuary

Monica and Willaim (of Faith and The Muse/Anima Mundi) have found some 160 acres of land which would serve ideally as a Non-Profit Eco-Animal Sanctuary called Ars Terra. They need OUR help to not only spread the word about this wonderful plan, but they need donations!! So even if you are not able to contibute financially, you can tell your friends who may be able to help. Again, this is a NON-PROFIT effort!

"Ars Terra is a Non-Profit Eco-Animal Sanctuary, the misson and focus of which is to educate the public about Whole Living; the path of living in complete harmony with our environment and all living creatures. Our primary tool to this end is the positive, solutions-oriented holistic design science of Permaculture. "

Please click on the banner to visit www.mercyground.com/arsterra and read about the land, plans and goals for this effort.

May 26, 2007 -- UPDATED SITE!!

The Ddraig Graphics site has been modified to now include a page for VIRIDIOS. Though I am concentrating heavily on ANAFAE for now, I will begin to get some work going toward VIRIDIOS and it was time to get a splash page and site going for Him.
Also, now there is a News Archive to make this home page more manageable. Each month, news items will be shifted to the archive page.
I've also eliminated some sections that were basically useless. I'll continue to add artwork over the coming weeks, including some Dragons that I have been playing with in the last couple of months. Thumbnails at the bottom of this page will show newly uploaded images when I get them sorted.

May 24, 2007 NEWS~

The ANAFAE Website has been updated with a new look and some of the color versions of images we've been working on! The plot has taken some major additions, and we're looking at a new release - in Color - hopefully the end of this year! And the coolest news: if all goes well, we will be publishing with Praxis Comics!!! Praxis is a wonderful new "Global" publisher out of the UK, and they've been beyond supportive. Monica and I are very excited with this development. Look for Praxis Comics at the New York Licensing International Expo June 19-21, 2007!!
