Personal pictures of some of the BEAUTIFULLY preserved artwork in Pompeii
I took all of these on a study abroad trip that I had the great fortune of being able to go on at the beginning of this year :)
I haven’t been able to STOP thinking about them, so here ya go🤲🏼
i may, or may not, have gotten this one piece of wall art (the fig tree & snake) tattooed on my body…
these incredibly detailed wall pieces are a part of the Dionysus Mystery Cult walls and had our whole group stopped for a GOOD 20-30 min…

The final piece from my recent show, ‘In Harmony.’ The Eastern Phoenix is often associated with harmony and new beginnings. In trying to portray those associations, the body is decorated with floral motifs; little sprouts blooming from its back, and tail feathers resembling a blossoming flower #brbchasingdreams

I find it interesting that people talk and write about fairies these days like they're these horrible, Machiavellian monsters that you mustn't ever risk dealing with. Even saying your name near them will forever put you in their thrall, forever! (Or something to that effect)
But when you dig into the folklore, you find countless stories of fairies just getting dunked on in just the daftest ways.
I've been reading "The Lore of Scotland", by Jennifer Westwood and Sophia Kingshill, and when I noticed this trend, I started taking count of who wins in fairies vs. human confrontations. I'm only about a fifth through, and while it's not clear cut, the humans are winning by three points!
By way of example, let me tell you one of my favourite stories so far. Once upon a time, a young woman was abducted by the fay and carried away to a fairie mound. There, she was placed in the arms of the great fay giantess who ruled those halls.
"I've got you now!" said the giantess, "I'm going to hold you as tight and as close as vine on tree, forever more!"
Certainly in a pickle, the young woman considered her dire situation and simply replied, "I wish it was shit you were holding."
The fay giantess was so completely appalled and disgusted by the coarse manner of the young woman that she let her go immediately and had her taken back to her home.
Not only do I find this really funny, I enjoy the fact that even centuries ago, the forthright manner and direct problem solving of Scottish women was well established.

Ancient coins depicting the labyrinth from Knossos, Crete. Greek myths said that the rulers of Knossos built a labyrinth, at the center of which was a formidable minotaur. The stories tell of an Athenian hero, Theseus, who braved the maze and took on the monster.

my uni staged philoctetes and one of the best choices was to have odysseus walk in with a cigarette through the entrance directly beneath the "no smoking" sign

Colors vs Final Illustration <3
I wanted to give folks here a heads up that I've deleted my Redbubble account (they added a crappy fee structure + they've never been good at paying artists fairly), so if you want prints you should use my Inprnt. Thanks!
Commissions are currently open; email at [email protected] for inquiries.
