witches, spirits, ghosts

I finally completed this series of seven drawings that I have been working on off and on since March. I call it the Witch series, dedicated to the young witch queens whose power and beauty has been demonized for centuries by the Western world.

These will undoubtedly be in MythoLogic, and also available as a set of post cards to be purchased either through me, or through Lulubell. I'm hoping to get them printed on a similar kind of paper that the original drawings are on (Arches Rives BFK, which I'm kind of in love with), but we'll see what happens.

I have been reading all of the books by Judika Illes that I can get my hands on - they are wonderfully well researched, fun to read, and are fascinating if you have any interest in history, anthropology, and spirituality, and gender studies (regardless of what your stance on witchcraft or magic may be.) Her writing, in many ways, is what is inspiring much of the drawings and paintings for this show, and I am incredibly grateful to have come across her work.
