Vanquish the nonsense!

Promise, hope, and new beginnings!

I know that I hung on that windy tree.

Athena throws her demons down!

The evening/morning star, our planet Venus, has kept me good company on many mountain strolls.

The myth of Heracles, a.k.a. Hercules, is one of the first stories I remember reading as a little kid.

The image above is inspired by the Star tarot card, which often shows a woman pouring water into water and onto the land.

This is a dream image.

A #dream image that has stuck with me for years and pressed itself into my imagination.

'Nother new Athena

“I will stamp my name upon men’s minds forever!”

I probably first read The Hobbit when I was about nine years old.

I finished reading a comic series a few weeks ago, called The Hero, that has quickly become one of my very favorites.

I’m kind of on a Minotaur kick.

I imagine myself meeting her Feather Children on one of my walks up the canyon. Maybe stumbling across it’s nest or something.

I love primitive artwork.

Another cool ancient burial site is Mount Nemrut.

I think the sculpture of Apollo and Daphne by Bernini may have been the very first piece of artwork that I ever really noticed.

The work of J.R.R. Tolkien has been a constant companion throughout my whole life.

Panel and portal from Urnes Stave Church.

Thoth Offers Seti an Ankh

It was an owl, and it was actually there and gone pretty quick.

Dreams can be pretty important. Maybe not always, but they certainly can be.

I’ve been coming across images of the Egyptian sky goddess Nut a lot lately.

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while… or at least start collecting images of these Venus clay figurines.

The paintings of Ainslie Roberts.

I recently discovered the work of Dan Hillier and enjoy it quite a lot. I think you will too, gentle reader.

It may be obvious if you scroll through my recent posts, but I’ll just restate that I’ve got ancient Egypt on my mind.

“And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tablets of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.”

Of those, the Elgin Marbles are perhaps the most important and controversial.

During the 1930’s Picasso adopted the classical Grecian Minotaur as a personal symbol.

The Thoth deck is mindbogglingly beautiful!

One of my favorite comic books, Fables, has just put out it’s 100th issue

I think this artwork is finally finished.. Animal Destiny: Horse

I had a great time tonight at the Magic And Machine show at the Springville Museum!

I think I've finally finished this new artwork, called "Between the Trees". See the evolution of the idea.

Tall trees reach into the sky, branches creating new eye shapes for the moon to peek through with each step. These moon eyes became hypnotic, watching the moon watch me.

A psychopomp is a guide, an escort accompanying souls to the afterlife. They can also serve as guides through the various transitions of life.

Every year around this time I start to think about an old digital painting I did a few years back called “Maple”.

I like this spooky season, partly because I feel justified in posting my illustration of Frankenstein’s monster. I finished this years ago, but I’m still really happy with it. Especially when October rolls around.

It was a snake all coiled up around itself, rolling down towards me. I watched the snake uncoil, and saw it was guarding an egg
