Rhys Turton is the creative mind behind the video game and pop culture cross stitch brand Lord Libidan. A regular contributor to books, kits, craft magazines and blogs, he’s moved into producing his own books and kits. Born out of a need to shed the antiquated Granny perception of cross stitch and bring it into the 21st century with video game and pop culture designs.
When Rhys isn’t cross stitching, he’s drinking copious amounts of tea whilst playing video games and watching TV. You can follow his weekly blog and recent patterns, cross stitches and updates at lordlibidan.com
