Stone Riley
Stone Riley is a multi-disciplinary artist supposedly famous within the Pagan movement. He paints, writes, interprets classical material for the modern public as a storyteller, reads Tarot, plays drums, engineers software, and has even been known to dance before a theater audience. (Once.) He lives west of Boston, USA. His self-publishing business is called Spirit Hill Studio. He's sometimes called the "Druid of New England".
This web page here has stuff you can buy and some free downloads. His home page at www.stoneriley.com has lots more work to read and see or download, all for free. If you'd rather view an art gallery per se, then you might like www.yessy.com/stoneriley. That has some very innovative paintings and other pictures integrated with chunks of literature. Thank you for your interest.
=> FYI note: Paganism (or Neo-Paganism) is an avant-garde bohemian shamanic religion in which religion is regarded as an art. You craft spiritual experiences for yourself and friends in search of actual real reality. Results seem encouraging so far. Politically, the movement is green and progressive with pacifist tendencies. It is utterly unorganized by choice and has user-participation literature instead of holy writ. It is growing quickly now, with maybe something like approximately half a million adherents in the USA, more or less. Small religion; big art project.
Peace through justice.

The Passing Of Uther Pendragon, A Fine Art Graphic Novel
If you haven't seen this, you haven't seen anything like it.
A lush palette of visual and poetic motifs densely interweave in a rarely used form – the fine art graphic novel – to create timeless myth in our world today. And this is not an old tale got up in modern dress. It is a gem of classic literature left in its setting but re-shaped as it is true today, and re-told in two of our most expressive languages: modern art and post-modern verse.
A new true tale of the death of King Arthur's father, in poetry and prose and two hundred pictures.
Timeless myth manifested at the far leading edge of modern aesthetic.
A tour de force by a leading Pagan artist.
You can view this complete book on-line for free at www.stoneriley.com.

Dark Of Light
A post-modern historical romance novel of the ancient mysteries.
With profound love for humanity and avant-garde prose, a leading Pagan visual artist has produced a book of our time to set beside Apuleius, Boccaccio and Chaucer. Frank, lyrical, philosophical and funny, it is fundamentally a romance. A woman who wants children meets a man scarred by war, and their whole worlds intersect.
Imagine a society with great expertise at crafting spiritual experience. We find it in ancient Greece and find a thrilling story there. The pilgrimage to Eleusis - premiere religious festival of a society where religion is the greatest art - has been challenged by brute force.
A priestess and conqueror fall in love, set out to seek healing, and find happiness centuries later. Along the way there is dazzling beauty and fearful ugliness. And sex. Intercourse is presented as a key to love and love as the key to all that is good.
You can read or download this as an e-book at www.stoneriley.com.
