About

Ethan is a Devon-based artist and writer, whose practice draws upon environmental issues, folklore and the Occult. He is particularly inspired and frequently haunted by the eldritch tales of Dartmoor, his local stomping ground.

Ethan is currently working on an illustrated book about the moor’s folklore. It serves as a companion piece to the recently published Dartmoor Folklore map, a moorland guide to the eldritch world of ghosts, pixies, The Devil, witches, wisht places, legends, strange phenomena and more. Seven years in the making, this map has been a true labour of love.
