Autumn silently took my hand. And I, without turning around, listened to the rustle of her breath, I felt the fading scent of her perfume. Her hair (or maybe cobwebs of traveling spiders?), slightly alarmed by the wind, slipped over my shoulder. And I wanted to hug her, but she blurred in fogs, scattered with dry foliage and ripened seeds. She was here, but incorporeal, all-embracing … Every tree whispering in leaves with the wind, every blade of grass dry yellowing in the meadow, every fragile stalk of faded flowers, every cloud filled with tears is all scraps of her soul. My beloved sister will soon again drive the sad birds into flocks, blessing them on a long journey … And we will stand with her in the rain, until dark, plunging into the blue twilight, but not taking our eyes off the ritual dancing of birds over trembling branches. We will be fascinated to follow how the petals from the last asters and chrysanthemums fall and how the darkness and cold conquer the territory.

Осень молча взяла меня за руку. И я, не оборачиваясь, слушала шелест ее дыхания, впитывала увядающий аромат ее духов. Кончики ее волос (или может паутинки пауков-путешественников?) слегка потревоженные ветром, скользнули по моему плечу. И мне хотелось сжать ее в своих объятиях, но она расплывалась туманами, рассыпалась сухой листвой и созревшими семенами. Она была здесь, но бестелесная, всеобъемлющая… Каждое дерево, шепчущееся листвой с ветром, каждая травинка, сухо желтеющая на лугу, каждый ломкий стебелёк отцветших цветов, каждое облако, наполненное слезами - это всё обрывки ее души. Моя горячо любимая сестрица скоро снова будет сгонять печальных птиц в стаи, благословляя их на дальние странствия… И мы будем стоять с нею под дождем, до темноты, погружаясь в синие сумерки, но не отрывая взгляда от ритуальных танцев птиц над дрожащими ветвями. Будем зачарованно следить как опадают лепестки с последних астр и хризантем и как мрак и холод отвоевывают территории.

This is one of the last commissions I completed early this year, before taking a break from them for a while. I loved the concept - a depiction of the lunar goddess, Artemis. But it was also a challenge to match this design to the style and colour palette of the client’s pre-existing tattoo they wished to pair with it (one of the goddess Athena). A great experience and a lovely client to work with. Here’s some detail shots at the first line art stage. xo
