Digital artwork offers ‘modern spin’ on Manx folklore

A series of digital artworks depicting aspects of Manx folklore offers a “modern spin” on old tales, the artist behind the works has said.

Ryan Morrison, from Ramsey, released the seven pieces as part of an Instagram challenge based on folklore, with themes for each day such as rain, storm, night and book.

The series includes depictions of the Buggane and Manannan as well as one piece honouring Sophia Morrison, best known for her book Manx Folk Tales.

“I think it is nice to have new interpretations of folklore. Having bright, colourful illustrations gives the tales new life,” said Mr Morrison.
