Sirens- a part-animal, part-human monster which lives on isolated islands and rocks in the ocean and uses song to lure sailors to their death. Sirens have appeared in mythology since the time of ancient greece and their appearance has changed many times. Earlier incarnations, such as the sirens described in The Odyssey, were woman-seabird hybrids which were mostly bird, but with a beautiful woman’s face. Medieval depictions of Sirens showed them as double-tailed seductresses with large breasts and prominent labia who used their sex appeal more than their song to kill sailors.

Linoleum blocks and black & white ink on toned paper. Printed using a letter press.

the flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind
in there and
sometimes a soul,
and the women break
vases against the walls
and the men drink too
much
and nobody finds the
one
but keep
looking
crawling in and out
of beds.
flesh covers
the bone and the
flesh searches
for more than
flesh.

there’s no chance
at all:
we are all trapped
by a singular
fate.

nobody ever finds
the one.

the city dumps fill
the junkyards fill
the madhouses fill
the hospitals fill
the graveyards fill

nothing else
fills.

India ink linework colorized in photoshop. Done for an illustration class project in which we had to emulate an established illustrator. I chose Yuko Shimizu.

This is based on a japanese folk tale about a man who was at war with his brother. During his banishment, the man found a bee caught in a spider’s web, and he freed it. That night in his dreams, the bee told him to fill a shack with vases and challenge his brother near the shack. By doing this, he would win the war. The man followed the bee’s instructions, and when the time came for the man to fight his brother, thousands of bees erupted from the shack and killed the man’s brother and his soldiers. The man won the war and built a shrine to honor the bees that died fighting for him.

I wanted to make an icon for my half-assed fashion blog and I’m pretty sure I ended up putting more effort into it then I have for anything I’ve ever posted on there. Here are all the variants, I ended up going with the first one because, well, it just works the best.

I was working on something else with this same character but then I just got really pumped about the idea of her being in this massive battle, and being like ‘man, FUCK swords’ and then just ripping off her helmet and then destroying like five of the enemy with her teeth.

I’ve been sketching Vanya a lot lately. Figured a new watercolor of her was due.

I’m pretty sure like 2/3rds of this stuff I copied off of sheet music online is meant for piano/can only be done on piano. But I have no idea because I don’t know music.
