Recently I finished reading The Iliad, translated by Emily Wilson, and it was a phenomenal and unforgettable experience that exceeded its already hefty reputation. I loved the action, the exploration of grief, and letting myself be surprised at the various small human moments sprinkled throughout. I was very moved and wanted to draw this sceneContinue reading “Achilles vs. Hector – The Iliad Book 22 (comic pages)”

“Why Must Holy Places Always be Dark Places?” Til We Have Faces (fanart)
I recently reread my favorite book, Til We Have Faces, the Cupid and Psyche retelling by C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidson. It’s a beautifully written novel that plays with themes of abjection, beauty and ugliness (physical, spiritual, subjetctive),possessiveness and grappling with the unknown and divine. It’s fascinating to read, especially if you’re familiar with Lewis’Continue reading ““Why Must Holy Places Always be Dark Places?” Til We Have Faces (fanart)”

More historical illustrations and figures from one of my sadly now defunct blogs. These are from earlier in the year, so they read a little more rough to me, but I thought I should post them here!

The Lion in Winter – Poetry and Power
No man who sees her and has faith In her sweet looks, her lovely eyes; Could ever believe, in any way Her heart is evil: her mind, it lies: But waters that slide calmly by Drown more than those that roar and sigh. They deceive who seem so fair, Oh, be wary of the debonair.Continue reading “The Lion in Winter – Poetry and Power”
