Working off some frustration.  The drawing is old, but I wanted to color it.

Anonymous asked:

Do you have any of your illustrations for sale?

Unfortunately, I don’t, unless you see me at a convention.  I’m considering making a Society6 page though, so stay tuned!

While I sometimes call this piece, “Hair,” I think its true name is “Guilt.” Guilt grows from the mind and can consume the mind. It weighs you down, makes you a prisoner, and immobilizes you. But it’s not something you can just cut off— there’s an emotional attachment to that feeling of guilt, a strange sense of responsibility as if you deserve it, the bondage and suffering. Because you should have known better. Because you could have avoided it. Because you would have done something different if you knew that this would be the outcome. It grows and grows and grows.

A piece for a constellation-themed book to be released at a later date.  Will post more information as it becomes available.   Most portrayals of Andromeda in classical art have her struggling against her chains, fearful of the sea monster Cetus and desperately awaiting the arrival of the Hero, Perseus.  But to me, Andromeda was a willing sacrifice, a hero in her own right.  What interested me was Andromeda’s relationship with Cetus and what Cetus represented in the myth besides a mindless devourer of women.  Upon discovering Cetus’ other name, The Whale, it hit me that perhaps Cetus could represent the unknown— the denizens of the deep, the realm beyond human convention.  Thus, I chained Andromeda with the expectations of a maiden, with veils and hair and crowned her with a spiral galaxy and let Cetus be The Whale, the promise of an escape if they can break free from the narrow confines of the Hero’s myth.

sir-fish: My illustration for dreampod’s awesome collab project, The Big Picture.  The theme of the piece was ‘creativity’ so I drew things that are part of my creative process— books, coffee cups and personal mythologies.  You can see how it works in the larger collaborative picture here!
