#griffins

[camelidae]

You’d think that having wings means griffons could get themselves down when they climb trees, but believe you me, you’ll be getting the ladder out later today.

My pigeon griffin is my latest arrival at the Jonathon Bancroft-Snell Gallery for their “Life after Beal” Bealart (my high school art program) alumni show!

Currently available for $600cad. (Edit: Sold!)

Feel free to check out the link and drop them an email for inquiries! International shipping available.

If you're local stop on by when you have a chance and see if anything available for purchase catches your eye :)

More art of my albatross griffins. I’m happier with their design. I CAN’T believe I gave them plain ol’ canine/seal looking teeth before, when spine covered penguin mouths are RIGHT THERE. It makes more sense to me design wise and looks better.

I decided to call them ✨Kymagryphs✨, giant scrounges of the skies over a new endless sea. Careful not to leave your catch out on deck when sailing.

I have finally found a literary reference to Apollo riding griffins:

"When fair Apollo leaves Delphi's shrine and visits the altars of the north, Castalia's waters differ in no wise from those of any common stream, nor the laurel from any common tree; sad and silent is the cave and the shrine without a worshipper. But if Phoebus is there, Phoebus returned from Scythian climes to his Delphic tripod, guiding thither his yoked griffins, the woods, the caves regain their voice, the streams their life"

– Claudian, On the Sixth Consulship of the Emperor Honorius (trans. Maurice Platnauer)

Thank you Claudian, I shall cherish this.

Out of curiosity! Any good reason for your preferred spelling?

griffins dont do shit

like they fought the arimaspoi but thats it and they don't have any named characters

those ancient greeks sure are obsessed with scythians

[camelidae]

I have three new originals available in my shop – I hope you like contented critters basking in sunlit scenes of quiet nature, because that’s all I’ve got!

griffins!

A couple of Kymagryphs doing a mating dance. It would be similar to some albatrosses ofc and very loud.

They typically make their nesting grounds on the highest fjords on the northern end of the island. Sylvaine lives on the southern end but can still hear them whenever it’s mating season. Durja makes it a point to go see them even though it’s a dangerous affair.

Also some chickies 🐣
