Special closeout sale LARGE canvas print for sale $124.99 Buy it here ThomasDodd.com/Store All of the elements of this photomanipulation were photographed in my studio and asembled in Adobe Photoshop. / The model portraying Pandora is one of my mainstays – Laurie Love (who is also “Alice” in my Wonderland series) She can also be seen in this picture as the portrait hanging on the wall. / The model for the “evil” spirits is 17 year old Israeli beauty Shelly Haggig… / The Pandora myth always fascinated me as a child (and still does today) being that it can be interpreted on so many levels. Perhaps it is meant to be a cautionary tale of how some things should not be meddled with or consequently – the importance of following directions. / I like to think however, that she represents the endless inquisitive spirit of humankind and that with every innovation and step forward , there can be negative consequences unleashed. However, in order for us to evolve and grow as human beings – we must face our inner demons and banish them…Only then can we truly evolve… and of course, the last words of the tale are: / “And then there was Hope!”

I woke up one morning and came out into the kitchen just after I had finished this work and the rainbow was spot on the stone of destiny! It was goosepimple stuff, I tell you! The spirits walked my house that morning! These big powerful mandalas are connections… connections with spirit, connections with others, connections with myself. My ancient celtic ancestry is in full bloom… ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! Please DO NOT COPY this picture. It is protected in more ways than one… Cheers:) Marg

Zhong Kui (Chinese: 鍾馗; pinyin: Zhōng Kuí; Japanese: Shōki) is a person from ancient Chinese mythology. Traditionally regarded as a vanquisher of ghosts and evil beings, and reputedly able to command 80,000 demons, his image is often painted by ordinary persons on household gates as a guardian spirit, as well as in places of business where high-value goods are involved. As with legends and myths in many cultures a number of variations to his story can be found. There are many literary works, dramas, plays and more about him. According to Wikipedia and other folklore, myth and legend sources, Zhong Kui traveled with Du Ping (杜平), a friend from his hometown, to take part in the imperial examinations at the capital. Some versions of the story explain how his face became disfigured and his sword became magical after he visited some monks for a feast on his way to the examination. Though Zhong achieved top honors in the exams, his title of “zhuangyuan” was stripped by the emperor because of his disfigured appearance. In anger, Zhong Kui committed suicide upon the palace steps by hurling himself against the palace gate until his head was broken. Du Ping buried him. After Zhong became king of ghosts in Hell, he returned to his hometown on the Chinese New Year’s Eve. To repay Du Ping’s kindness, Zhong Kui gave his younger sister in marriage to Du. Zhong Kui’s popularity in folklore, myth and legend can be traced to the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang China (712 to 756). According to Song Dynasty sources, once the Emperor Xuanzong was gravely ill. He had a dream in which he saw two ghosts. The smaller of the ghosts stole an embroidered perfumed purse from a favorite imperial consort, Yang Guifei, and a jade flute belonging to the emperor. The bigger ghost, wearing the hat of an official, captured the smaller ghost, tore out his eye and ate it. The bigger ghost then introduced himself as Zhong Kui and said he was sworn to rid the empire of evil. The Emperor awarded him with an honorable burial of a court official. Zhong Kui continues to be a popular figure in modern China.

Weirdface – Sinned_angel.deviantart.com / Brushes deviantart.com The Native American Indian Butterfly Legend / If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and whisper their wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted /

This started off as a sketch for my Wonderland artwork series (it was going to be Alice and the Caterpillar- but the caterpillar gradually morphed into this dragon and I felt like doing a primarily pen-and-ink work this time around. So Alice was put on the backburner for a little bit and instead we have a little girl and her dragon friend set against a silver sky with a blue moon. One only knows what they could be talking about….. Original artwork measures 12.5×19 inches approx. and is for sale (email redeye@designbyredeye.com to inquire). Medium is primarily pen and ink, with some silver sharpie and blue marker in the background. On sky blue Canson Mi-Tientes acid-free art paper. View more of my artwork at lynnetteshelley.com

Gaia or Gaea, known as Earth or Mother Earth (the Greek common noun for “land” is ge or ga). She was an early earth goddess and it is written that Gaia was born from Chaos, the great void of emptiness within the universe, and with her came Eros. She gave birth to Pontus (the Sea) and Uranus (the Sky). This was achieved parthenogenetically (without male intervention). Other versions say that Gaia had as siblings Tartarus (the lowest part of the earth, below Hades itself) and Eros, and without a mate, gave birth to Uranus (Sky), Ourea (Mountains) and Pontus (Sea). http://www.pantheon.org/articles/g/gaia.html
