I didn’t know what to draw and this medusa thing came to me

Just did what was in my head, no research

Morning Devotion, a new one for Heirloom Rustic Ales! Because who doesn’t love a siren luring sailors to destruction?

Little Owl as a Hoplite warrior.

Available on: amazon.com/dp/B09WYVKJ13

This design is inspired by the armed owl figure in an ancient Greek vase, which is approximately 2500 years old. In Greek mythology, a little owl (Athene noctua) traditionally represents or accompanies Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom, or Minerva, her syncretic incarnation in Roman mythology.

Tis the season where we take stock of things, give thanks, be grateful; and pick up the pieces of our fragmented self to make it whole again—hoping the new us would be greater than the sum of our parts—like the INFINITY of a FRACTAL #PhilippineMythopoeia

Happy Holidays! May our 2022 be peaceful, productive, healthy, and hopeful

The Maycapal Adarnaverse. Hope you enjoy this simple preview slide video. Next happy update shall be by early 2022. Happy Holidays! ✨

Merry Christmas! ❄️ as religion and mythology are inextricably linked and essentially of one substance…

What is Philippine Mythopoeia? #Maycapal #Adarnaverse

It’s the reclaiming of the works and the Greek Myth allusions of Poet Francisco Balagtas; the songs and ballads of Poet Huseng Sisiw/Jose de la Cruz; the mysticism of Hermano Pule; the works of Jose Rizal, his El Consejo de Los Dioses; the traditions set by the Friars and Holy Orders; the epics, songs, and arts of the Indigenous Peoples; the zarzuelas; the academism of Juan Luna, Felix R. Hidalgo, Jose Honorato Lozano…

And in my heart of hearts, my forever influences on this masterwork are “Homer,” Hesiod, Ovid, Virgil, Dante, John Milton, William Blake, JRR Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, Lovecraft, Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Ferdowsi, Philip José Farmer, Alan Moore, and Neil Gaiman. ​

THE MAYCAPAL ADARNAVERSE, Tales of Philippine Mythopoeia. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

A two-year high fantasy labor of love and passion, and a few Pheidippides-laps more with the manuscript, then we will meet the sentient Manila galleon/warship adventuring on the high seas; and the curious denizens of the Murillo-Velarde map. Whatever happened to the Old Gods during the Epoch of the Great Anitus Wars? What lurks beneath the Mindanao trench deep? Who are the Adarnas? What is the Alchemical Genealogy?

Receiving a dog-eared pocketbook of an abridged Bulfinch’s Mythology at nine years-old back in ‘84 changed my life (in hindsight!). Hopefully the celestial gears crank up and the cycle of adventure and creativity continues with this book and its readers.

Two hundred nine.

In two years, 2019-2021, with the pandemic and the caregive, I finished all my book illustrations today, 12:06 PM, Sunday, 11 April 2021, all two hundred nine (209) of them

Maycapal: Philippine Mythopoeia. From the timelessness of the cloud archipelago to the Philippine Republic of 1946.

Here’s to the anitos, diwatas, Indarapatra, to the babaylans, to Philippine flora and fauna, to myths, folklife and folklore, to the proud pre-conquest natives of the archipelago, to our Austronesian heritage, to the imagined Filipino and the Philippines!

To Thomas Bulfinch, to Edith Hamilton, to Hieronymus Bosch, to the early printers and typographers, to Cesare Ripa, to the medieval traditions brought by the holy orders, to renaissance humanists, heretics and alchemists.

To Francisco Balagtas, to Damian Domingo, to Jose Honorato Lozano, to Jose Rizal, Juan Luna and Felix R. Hidalgo.

To Gaiman, to Pullman, to Le Guin.

To semiotics, to Umberto Eco.

To archetypes, to Carl Jung.

To folklore, to Maximo D. Ramos, to E. Arsenio Manuel, to Damiana L. Eugenio.

To history, heraldry, comparative literature, religion and mythology.

To museums, archives, and libraries.

I owe to them my love of reading, drawing, and imagining.

Now to continue my writing!

I rendered some characters of the Philippine Mythopoeia book in the style of Renaissance grotesque, with creeping flora, weird fauna, monsters, and deities.

I have been working on my book about Philippine Mythology and Folklore entitled “MAYCAPAL” since 2019. The corona virus pandemic of 2020 threw a wrench on my writing, illustrating and productivity like with the rest of the world. I got my groove back and am back on track. ✍️
