#UrsulaKLeGuin

Hey everyone, this was an image i did for an annual illustration competition over at @foliosociety, an amazing design and publishing studio in London which does incredible special editions of notable books with top illustrators. Unfortunately my image didn't place within the top 20, but if you take a look at the longlist youll see the competition was fierce this year! I'll try again next year.

We were asked to illustrate a scene from the short story, "The Flyers of Gy" by Ursula K. Le Guin about a humanoid society that sometimes develop wings and risk their lives to fly.

The image I chose to create was from a scene in the story explaining one of the tragic plays that came out of that culture. I figured this would be a chance to do some high drama and gothic romance atmosphere. I worked really hard on it, and ill be throwing up some process videos this week.

Thanks for looking! xoxo

"It's hard to meet a stranger. Even the greatest extravert meeting even the meekest stranger knows a certain dread, though he may not know he knows it. Will he make a fool of me wreck my image of myself invade me destroy me change me? Will he be different from me? yes, that he will. There's the terrible thing: the strangeness of the stranger. " - Ursula K Leguin in her short story Nine Lives . It's the terrible thing as well as the holy and possibly joyful thing. #ursulakleguin #ursulakleguinquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOUawOJy4i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pe Ursula K. Le Guin am descoperit-o prin intermediul animației făcută de Studio Ghibli (Tales From Earthsea) și mi-a plăcut atât de mult filmul, încât am decis să citesc și seria. Dacă anul trecut mă delectam cu primul volum, Un Vrăjitor din Pământșimare, anul acesta am ajuns la Mormintele din Atuan - o poveste ceva mai atipică, dar frumos scrisă și captivantă datorită temelor filosofice pe care le abordează. Cu siguranță ajung și la următorul volum în curând :)

Deities of South American Mythology discuss Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)

We see an Aztec deity, Quetzalcoatl, pouring tea from the teapot into a cup. On the table are plates filled with delicious cakes. QUETZALCOATL: (smiling) Today we are discussing a book that has challenged every aspect of our existence. Brave New World. All the deities take a sip of their tea and grab a piece of cake as they settle back in their chairs, ready for a lively discussion. PACHAMAMA:…

Hunter S: Thompson: “When the going gets weird, the word turn pro.” And: “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” —Attributed to Steve Jobs (and likely Chiat-Day); more likely originally inspired and written by John Chapman (1774-1845) and erroneously attributed to Jack Kerouac. There are no doubt uncount others who spirits lie embedded within. #Repost @_poetic.outlaws_ ・・・ “Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing -- instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.” — Ursula K.

currently listening: to rufus wainwright's 2005 album want

currently watching: shamefully, what we do in the shadows. proudly and with my whole chest, riverdale.

currently reading: finished les mémoires d'hadrien by marguerite yourcenar and started a collection of auden's poetry yesterday. predictably, neither of these are on any of my lengthy reading lists.

current obsession: yours sounds so very wonderful! mine is more mundane: banker's lamps. look at these beauties. and also two non-banker's lamps because look at them. bottom left is on a little swing ...
