i've been BELTING out the Epic concept album in the car to and from work the past couple of weeks, esp. the bit where Odysseus cries out for Athena at the end of Love in Paradise, and I thought it would be funny if the goddess herself was like WHY is this person in rural NY state calling for me every day at 8:40am and after 5pm

[i-m-van-goghing-now]

Stay in my open arms

Love in Paradise is my favorite song of the saga...maybe the whole concept album. God, I was in tears.

Hypnos & Thanatos by ofensky

Lovestruck (Helen of Troy)💃🏻🌊💘👑

This is based on the myth of Helen of Troy but named ‘Lovestruck’ to focus on the devastating impact of Eros/Cupid’s arrow. It features her in Mycenaean dress being struck by the arrow, with hearts flying out from the bolt’s exit like 🩸. In the background ships race towards the same direction as her propulsion from the force of the strike.

I wanted to create something colourful and whimsical where I could completely focus on the illustration. Subsequently I’ve gone for an illustration more based in aesthetics and symbolism than my usual “historically accurate/canon” pieces.
