The world of Gwelf is steeped in magic and mystery, follow Wilburton Fox as he ventures through the City, the Farmlands, and the Scrublands going there and back again through illustration and adventure.
Larry MacDougall entered the commercial art world approximately thirty years ago and has been very busy ever since. He began working for gaming publishers, contributing work to many projects in the Dungeons and Dragons, fantasy tabletop role playing vein. Larry was content with this work for many years but gradually the games began to take on a violent and darker tone. This is when he decided to leave the gaming world and cross over to children's publishing where he illustrated many books for publishers both in Canada and abroad. For the last fifteen years, Larry has been working as an animation designer, book illustrator, environment and character designer for games, and fine artist making personal art for private clients. He has also been dreaming up the world of Gwelf.
Now he is embarking on that adventure and inviting you to come along.
