Anatomy of a fairy

Fairy Sketch Books, Endicott Studio for Mythic Arts

Care and Feeding of Sprites is a book written by Holly Black and illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi accompaning The Spiderwick Chronicles and Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You. As the name suggests, the book's subject is how to keep a Sprite as a pet. Many would have you believe that sprites (or "fairies" as they're often called) are sweet and pretty and ultimately peaceful creatures. But don't let the carefree nature of these dazzling beguilers fool you…

Insects, plants and all things nature with a twist of elvish magic for all that have a taste for fantasy. Commissions welcome from general illustrations to custom tattoo designs. This is Jarhn.
