Aphrodite and her son Eros, Goddess and God of Love. Muse, tell me the deeds of golden Aphrodite the Cyprian, who stirs up sweet passion in the gods and subdues the tribes of mortal men and birds that fly in air and all the many creatures that the dry land rears, and all that the sea: all these love the deeds of rich-crowned Cytherea. / —Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite 5.1–5 More Olympians / / / /

Athena
by Ivy IzzardἈθηνᾶ / Of Pallas Athena, guardian of the city, I begin to sing. Dread is she, and with Ares she loves deeds of war, the sack of cities and the shouting and the battle.

Original Creation Date: June 14th, 2006 And as he materialized from the shadows of an immortal world, he knew that he would never be discovered. He knew their eyes would never pause. Draped in feathers, masked by guise, a god became a mere cruxshadow. Apollo became The Crane. Godlike Birds: / The Greek/Roman god Apollo was the god of the sun, the god of poets, and the leader of muses. And upon his visits among us he would disguise himself as a bird. / This is an ode to inspriation. This is a dedication to the muses that live within us. / Apollo is a direct representation of creativity, and as artists, Apollo is our god. Charcoal on 90lb. paper, 16” x 20”, freehand. / Model: Danone There’s a piece of my soul in the reflection of his eyes. I swear it. Original Sold: Port Alberni, British Columbia, Canada

I shot this last week down in Florida with the very lovely Wendy Hanks as model… Sometimes you work with a model who is so perfect that nearly every picture is a “keeper” – Wendy was such a model and I hope that (despite our geographical distance) her and I work together again soon…

Μοῖραι – the apportioners The Moirai, or Fates were: Klotho (Κλωθώ – spinner) spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. / Lachesis (Λάχεσις – allotter) measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod. / Atropos (Ἄτροπος – inexorable) was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner and timing of each person’s death. When she cut the thread with “her abhorrèd shears”, someone on Earth died. Photo reference by mare-wrath-stock / link / link / link

Original Creation Date: January 27th, 2007 Charcoal on 90 lb. paper, 16” x 20”, freehand. / Model: Alizee Sorel Medusa. Because I did Medusa’s Perseus… so why not? There are many legends behind Medusa, but nearly all of them start out with Medusa being a beautiful woman, not a horrible monster. My personal favorite of how she obtained her head of snakes: Medusa was so beautiful that she rivaled the beauty of Athena. In a rage, Athena turned Medusa’s hair into snakes and made her into an ugly beast whos gaze turned men into stone. Original piece available for purchase.

Oil on canvas – 45×30cm original $500 Daughter of Demeter, a harvest Goddess, Persephone is captured by Hades and taken as his wife into the Underworld where she pines for her mother, flowers and sunlight. Her mother grieves so much that no food will grow, human survival is at risk and a deal is struck that Persephone can return for 6 months of the year. This tale reflects the harvest and psyche cycles – as we become withdrawn, then enter back into the swing of life again. Thanks to a photo of the beautiful young Scarlett Johansson as inspiration!
