There’s something in that continuity that makes my chest pull tight. To know she’s still here, listening, and beautifully wild. And I get to be part of that… one voice in a long, uneven line of devotion. It humbles me in ways I can’t explain. I have a hard time articulating the feeling.

Like touching a thread that runs all the way back.

‘Hymn to Artemis’ by Callimachus mock book cover 🏹💐🦌🏺

Prints [X]

I’m working on beefing up my portfolio with speculative commercial work, especially book covers. For this cover I had the idea of a female archer leaping through a stylised meadow like something from my 1970s children’s books.

Dike

Goddess and Horae of Justice & upholder of Law, Punisher of wrong-doing. She also represented an aspect of spring growth

"Daughters of Jove and Themis, seasons bright, Justice, and blessed Peace, and lawful Right, Vernal and grassy, vivid, holy pow'rs, whose balmy breath exhales in lovely flow'rs. All-colour'd seasons, rich increase your care, circling, for ever flourishing and fair: Invested with a veil of shining dew, a flow'ry veil delightful to the view: Attending Proserpine, when back from night, the Fates and Graces Lead her up to light; When in a band-harmonious they advance, and joyful round her, form the solemn dance: With Ceres triumphing, and Jove divine; propitious come, and on our incense shine; Give earth a blameless store of fruits to bear, and make a novel mystic's life your care."
