A traveller is lured by song deep into the forest, hypnotised by the sound he remians unaware of the fate that awaits him…... Pen and Ink
Lamia’s Cave The Lamia is one of the more obscure Greek myths and is yet another example of the malicious interference of “The Gods”. This image was in part based on a small mention of the Lamia (Lamiai plural) on the 1974 Genesis album: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (CD Disc 2, track 5). Some other references may be found at Encyclopedia Mythica and Wikipedia – Lamia Medium: Airbrush and Acrylics on Canson Airbrush Board / Size: 85cm x 45cm (34” x 18”) / Private Collection / Artist: Peter Nowak (Wizard) This was actually my very first large format airbrushing and is the first of two related paintings. The second was later rendered on a motorcycle tank (below). However the completed working drawing (further below) of Lamia #2 was done after the bike tank and still awaits final translation into a third full-size work. It will now most likely be rendered digitally.

The Lamia was a beautiful queen of Libya who seduced many a Greek Hero and then fed on their blood- seduced by Zeus, her children killed by Hera, she herself became a child killer and a drinker of blood- her face one of nightmarish mask when she attacked in the night. Here the “lovers play” before the fool realises his fate!
