The Ink of a City

The Ink of a City is a story that refuses to end.Its author is never fully named, their presence felt only in the spaces between pages, leaving room for the reader to step inside. A missing page is never recovered because it is not meant to be found; it is meant to be lived.

Each character becomes a living continuation of the unfinished manuscript, carrying its meaning forward into a city that never stands still.In a place shaped by surveillance and authority. There is a  hidden collective known as the Ink Circle.  It emerges, writers, artists, and thinkers whose anonymous creations appear in unexpected places. Such like the work of Banksy, their messages are public, provocative, and impossible to ignore, whilst confronting inequality, oppression, and social injustice.

The Ink circle once watched, catalogued, and silenced,  becomes an every act of creativity and act of quiet defiance. It is then, the caricturictures, Antonio, Luca, and Ana, continue the Ink’s legacy through poetry, street art, music and dance performance.  Thus, transforming public spaces into living narratives and carrying on, an unfinished story into the future. One that belongs as much to the reader as it does to the page.

Selwyn, the Dragon of Snowdonia

Selwyn is not the kind of dragon you read about in old stories. He doesn’t guard treasure or breathe fire — he prefers watching the sunrise over the mountains of Snowdonia and making children smile.

But when a fierce storm threatens his valley, Selwyn discovers that being a hero isn’t about strength or fearsome flames. It’s about kindness, courage, and caring for others.

A warm and uplifting Welsh tale about finding your true purpose and learning that even the gentlest dragon can make the biggest difference.
