Like many artists, Linder keeps an ongoing physical sketchbook to create ideas and experiments. Some are finished works of art, many are not. Sketches can be a way to work out problems that might exist before he turns them into a painting or animation.
This place will be updated frequently and in no particular order. Every year he fill's approximately four to five sketchbooks with ideas. Some of them make it into a project and some don't. Check back here frequently, because he will update this all the time.
Some of the creatures he is creating for the Magickal Beasts Collection.
