Have you read One Swoop Fell? Wow, it’s really great. I just read the whole thing twice, so should you. The art and coloring is so beautiful, and the characters are absolutely charming. Wow.

It’s written and drawn by Mike Dutton, and you can read it here at www.oneswoopfell.com. Make sure you visit his portfolio site as well, www.duttonart.net, his illustrations are lively and vibrant.
