some images from the cave homes of gharyan, libya. communities of jews who made their homes in underground caves have been known in the maghreb since before the 1st century. when spain invaded tripoli in 1510, tripolian jews, both toshavim and sephardic, fled to gharyan and dug out cave homes for themselves. the houses today are occupied by non-jewish libyans or rented out to tourists.

Just wrapped up this DUNE painting! Reverend Mother Jessica Atreides and the Water of Life.

This is my second interpretation of this iconic character. The first version just felt off and less exciting than the rest of the series. For a character with such a significance in the story I decided to go back to the drawing board and redo it from scratch.

Hope you like it! Gurney Halleck next week.

All the best,

JCH

[ILLUSTRATION - MIRAGEVERSE] "Um' Al Nuwr"

2023 was a year of growth and chaos for me.

Unfortunately, the chaos was quite hard to handle, therefore i needed any kind of break life could offer. "No activity on social media" was my safe way (among others) and thankfully, I have quite the experience in being a ghost on the internet.

Hence, after some time i return in 2024 with renewed energy and a some late 2023 illustration !

****************************** Here is "Um' Al Nuwr" ("The Mother of Light" in Arabic), the original creator of the huge universe where most of my stories take place.

In her hands she carries the Three Pillars of her creation : the Mirageverse or, the universe of Mirages.

The Eye

The Lantern

The Heart

"The Lantern bears her Light, to illuminate even the darkest places with life.

The Eye keep watches on each of her Visions, to follow even the dangerously ambitious ones.

The Heart guards all parts of her Soul, to shield even those most heartless."

Free Palestine! we stand with freedom and solidarity 🇵🇸

May Palestine, may Gaza, be protected, this is horrific. Shut down completely their voices their faces their cries for help. May their life’s be protected.

From the river to the sea palestine will be free
