I had to take a break from "The Other Cup" to draw a couple portraits for Christmas. This is a charcoal portrait of my parents cuddling with my children.
My art is inspired by stories. Mythologies of humanity, of gods and goddesses, kings and peasants, heroes and heroines, some ancient personalities and others are new characters for the modern age. It seems that throughout the history of humanity it is in our stories that remain a consistent connection to our past and future. The characters and struggles evolve to fit a particular culture and age but the lessons to be passed down repeat. Life, love, pain, triumph, defeat, consequence, reward. We are those stories, we are those heroes and heroines, gods and goddesses, divine within and without.
