For all of the island's tapestry of fairytales about the things that creep between the ageless trees in the deep Dark forest... There never was a forest here. Not so much as a single sapling. Ever

The issue with listening to the narcissist cookbook's MYTH is that it's the perfect level of storytelling and world building so that I now want to read all the stories david brownly collected, but I know I can't.

This is just like finding out about the Titanomachy.

I knew it was familiar! The cover for narcissist cookbook's MYTH is a Kay Nielsen painting!

I was flipping through my copy of East of the Sun and West of the Moon bc the second side is about to release and I was reminded of the illustrations when I found this! How cool!

I've had this sitting around as a sketch for awhile, finally had time to finish it! Hoping to do more mythology illustration this year.

And when I was hanged between earth and heaven they lifted up their heads to see me. And they were exalted, for their heads had never before been lifted.

Personal piece :) The compression may be hiding this, but written on the underside of the antelope's skin is "un jour je serai de retour près de toi" ('one day I will return to your side'), which is something I have been turning over in my brain a lot as of late.

Hope you're all taking care of yourselves!!

Saw someone making a joke about how Odysseus confronting the suitors happens when he’s naked and no hate for the joke I get that a lot of people think public nudity is funny but like… that part of the story is really important to me.

This is a man that has been on a journey and fucked over and changed and played with by fate for years to the point where he is almost forced to strip his identity and rebuild it for survival. When he returns to his Home Land yes he is wearing a disguise but he was also the one raining king of Ithaca. No one recognized his face, his voice, the only one to truly recognize him was his neglected and dying dog. When he reveals his true self he literally has to strip himself bare before any one realizes.

The idea of the thing that kept you alive and kept you fighting being the same thing that makes it easier to strip your core beliefs and personality bare and rebuild yourself into something not even you can recognize in the end is really impactful for me.
