Elfwood is an amateur art gallery on the web that I discovered some months ago. Back then it had only a fantasy art section with about four galleries. Now it has sections for sci-fi art, fantasy and sci-filiterature and also for drawing and art advice. This place on the web, so full of magic, has provided much of the artwork through its willing artists. Please do visit this link and visit some of their sponsors and help to keep the magic alive. There will be a complete list of artists later whom contributed and exactly what they contributed, but until I have them all cleared and all of their permissions, that list will be pending.

I would also like to mention my good friend Alexandre Abdoulaev, known more fondly to his friends as Alex Ghost...or homie. ;) He has a page at Elfwood (which is linked to above) and his work can be found in Lothlorien (Gallery Four) and Zone47 (Gallery Two) there. Please go and have a look and leave some nice comments under his pictures. :) He also has a seperate page on the web, click the groovy picture on the left to go and have a look.
