You never know what you’re going to find in a wizard’s pocket. And pickpockets who mingle with wizards extrapolate this to: You never know how much what you find in a wizard’s pocket is going to be worth. Consequently, wizards have to protect the contents of their pockets, which may include but are not limited to: travel-sized spell books, spare wands, phoenix feathers, magic amulets, rune beads, lucky griffon’s feet etc. etc.
This particular Pocket Protector is named Phidias. He can be…easily distracted, shall we say. In an effort to elicit a consistent pocket-protecting response from his dragon, his wizard has found it necessary to write "I belong to Phidias" on any item he wants protected. As long as Phidias thinks that any given magical trinket belongs to him, he remains poised in perpetual peak pocket protecting…er, mode.
My latest painting, and the first painting I’ve finished in over a month, I believe! Meet Phidias, the Pocket Protector, busy protecting the contents of his Master’s pocket from prying pickpocket fingers. It was worth the wait, I think; I’m very happy with the way he turned out. Next on my list of to-do artwork is a painting for my sister, to give to…well, best not to say too much, I suppose. You never know who might pop by…
