Fill your ears with beeswax and tie yourselves to your masts boys, else your ship is ours to wreck.

Traditionally, sirens had wings, the Greeks didn’t necessarily specify so I took some creative license. (Inspiration was from a vase painting ca 525 - 475 B.C.) Prints and other goodies available in link on bio through Society6

After that night with Poseidon, Medusa was never the same, Athena saw to it. Was this a curse or a gift? Only Medusa and Athena truly know. (No snakes were harmed in the making of these collage, in fact it was as if they chose to be here.)

Hi! I’ve been working on some new stuff lately and thought I’d come back here and share, inspiration for this was taken from the Greek myth about Medusa and a 1-2 Century AD Roman chariot pole ornament. I now have an instagram: @icontrive.digital where I have been posting new work and animating older pieces, come check me out! Prints and other goodies are available on Society6

MYSTIC SENTRY- MONTH OF MONSTERS

I’m releasing A NEW CREATURE fromStarcalled Studio’s CREATURES OF VATHIS every day for the entire Month of February.

Creatures like the Mystic Sentry, steel suits of armor animated by powerful magic that can rally to a bone-crushing defense in the service of their pitiless masters. 

I hope you’ll enjoy these free daily previews while the book’s Kickstarter remains up, and sincerely hope that you’ll consider supporting these amazing creators.
