Like any self-respecting admirer of Celtic myth and legend, I was of course eager to have a go at depicting Cernunnos, the antlered god. (I often sit with one of my (many) books on the subject and look longingly at the reproductions of the Gundestrup Cauldron and other Celtic paraphernalia. La Tène, by the way, is just a few miles down the lake. The site is now occupied by a rather commonplace campground, alas.) I also admit to considerable influence from fantasy author Robert Holdstock and his revisitings of traditional Celtic mythos.
