Land of lore

A guide to the hidden world that lies just beyond our own.

About

Unearth is a passion project with the aim of bringing together creatives to celebrate the natural world as well as the imagined world that lives in myth and lore. Contributors will choose folklore subjects to depict either in page art, comics, or writing. Field artists will use their chosen subjects to work with a writer and create a guide-like info page. All of these works will come together to create a field guide depicting the fictional folklore world of Unearth.
