Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
I got ambitious and decided that this piece was going to be a Scylla and Charybdis piece!
I couldn’t find any recovered relics that depicted Chatybdis so I kinda had to go off images I found on YouTube. Though I think she looks pretty good!
The based of the vessel is wheel thrown with pulled handles. I covered the piece in handmade terra sigillata I made myself, the details are all painted on with Amaco obsidian and snow glazes. The white/snow glaze is covered with wax resist to make the painting easier on me, that’s why it looks yellow.
I've drawn a few things!! I am trying to hype myself up about my art bc I feel like it does have some qualities.
The last is a little sketch of a suggestion on how to show something for @the-life-of-bat s comic.
You know... I actually like visual storytelling. I have a bunch of little comic stuffs I've made over the years, nothing nice and finished, but I really enjoy the medium. Always have.
I think my ideal involves both comic and prose, which was the format for a shortstory I did for an anthology "recently" (in Danish, alas). The comic format was purposefully rather restricted in that one, but I'm thinking about all these cool ways comic and text could be organically intertwined ... I don't have the technical prowess to pull it off, but my fiance did literally work as a booksetter and designer, so, hmmm...
You're still standing off to the side. Somehow, center stage has shifted from under your feet without you realizing, and you're standing in the wings, performing to no one.

“There are two sisters; one gives birth to the other, who in turn gives birth to the first. Who are they?”
Did you know that there was a rarely used, second riddle of the sphinx? I didn’t until I was looking into sphinxes more, but I like to think this sphinx likes to tell this riddle to visitors. Yah know, to throw them off their rhythm.
Anywho; so in August I made a post about a Greek goddess OC I had come up with. The gist is that she’s a minor chthonic goddess of secrecy (among other things) and the producer of ambrosia/nectar. I was trying to think of something to put on this plaque and I thought “why not give the goddess of secrets a sphinx to protect her secret enchanted garden”, and so I did! I have a second plaque that has a sphinx with a similar hair style, I like to think it’s the same sphinx.
This piece uses the same terra sig as my last post which is why the colour is off.
I also have to give artistfuly on insta another shout out for her amazing Greek headdress designs! They totally save me the struggle of finding hairstyles for some of the characters!
