The Elemental Forest is a book inspired by the strange and unique creatures that I've found in my various adventures. In my travels, I collect these odd little friends from various artists, merchants and friends.

Eventually these creatures insisted that they should be collected into a book telling at least some of their story. With permissions of the creating artists, I gathered them together and wrote this journal for them. There are plenty of blank pages (for your own journal usage) as well as some with print which follow my story and illustrations inside.
