#foliatehead

Spring time gets me thinking a lot about the mysterious character known as the green man. These odd little foliate heads are found hiding in medieval churches and nobody knows for sure what they are exactly. Is the green man simply an artistic choice from a bygone era or something much older? Either way, he’s come to represent man’s connection to nature. This was the first green man I ever drew several years ago when I first learned of him and became fascinated with what exactly he might have meant to past generations. Apparel and much more featuring my green man artwork here—> https://celtichammerclub.threadless.com/designs/the-green-man ➖ #celtichammerclub #greenman #foliatehead #nature #spring #rebirth #summeriscoming #draw #drawing #sketch #pencilsketch #sheilanagig #celt #celtic #celticknot #sol #sunna #summerisacumenin #greenmantattoo #greenmanart #originalart #tattoocommission https://www.instagram.com/p/CqF3nDbLxLG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
