Title:From the Sea / Artist: Jessica Tremp / Model: Jo O’Brien THE MERMAID A mermaid found a swimming lad, / Picked him for her own, / Pressed her body to his body, / Laughed; and plunging down / Forgot in cruel happiness / That even lovers drown. William Butler Yeats a few of my favourite things come together…mystery, the sea, earthy colours and textures and an overall sense of whimsicality and melancholy

Original Creation Date: December 8th, 2006 / Charcoal on 90 lb. paper, 16” x 22”, freehand. / Ref. Model: M. Gandolfi / Original Available For Purchase. Note me for pricing. Perseus was both the first of the Greek mythic heros as well as the slayer of Medusa. He helped establish the authority of Zeus and the twelve Olympians in mainland Greece. Somehow I always manage to find mythological roles for the pieces that strike me as surreal or regal or ‘classic’. To me, this is the boy the most talented Greek and Roman marble sculptors would battle for. His features are paramount. His soft, semi-curly hair is reminiscent of that possessed by the ‘beautiful gods’. He looks delicate yet determined, stoic and quietly courageous. To me, he’s a tenacious youth, blindly valiant as he stalks into Medusa’s lair only to surface with his bloody sword in one hand and a severed head of snakes in the other. And as a result of his valor he acquires a few of his victim’s most desirable traits—a head of wildly unruly hair and beauty enough to turn any onlooker to stone. Medusa’s death comes at the most inopportune time, for if she could only gaze at her rival she would go mad with infatuation.

This shot reminds me of the Ancient Greek Serpent Goddess, Medusa. (I know, it’s a bit of a stretch!)

Ἀθηνᾶ / 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. It is she who saves the people as they go out to war and come back. / Homeric Hymn to Athena 11.1–5 More Olympians / / / /

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.

Water splashed up at the boys legs, and as they continued their big push, the sky flashed it’s fury and roared with disapproval. While Jim’s body took flight of its own accord, his mind was frantic with disparate thoughts : “Oh God , if i make it out of here I promise I’ll be good and never forget to say my prayers., Oh I’m so glad I didn’t listen to Tom and wore these boots instead of those silly slippers.,Oh I wonder what could have happened to poor old Patch inside that awful place..Oh what will mother say? ” The reality at that moment however, wasn’t Mother’s wrath or even Father’s strap but a very desperate need for he and his brother to move quickly. The ear piercing shrieks coming from the house were growing louder and a terror induced surge of energy forced the young lad to run like never before, until suddenly he felt a sharp tug, followed by the sound of tearing cloth and an equally sharp stinging across his right thigh. ” T-o-m! T-o-o-m.. I’m hurt.. quickly..” Jim called ahead to the older boy, simultaneously wincing and writhing in the sodden grass, ” Tom hurry..! She’s coming.. she’s coming I tell you!” Reluctantly, Tom gave up the ground he had gained and came to his brother’s aid by beginning to untangle the barbed wire caught up in the wounded boys nightshirt. ” Bloody fool!” seethed Tom, his own heart pounding as the shrieks became louder still. ” It’s not my fault.” sobbed Jim, ” I never wanted to come on this stupid caper in the first place.. I know you only asked me because Fatty Fanshawe can’t run..” ” Never mind about that now.” said Tom as he detached the last threads of the fabric from the last of the rusty spikes. ” On your feet soldier, we have to get to the street before the lamps are put out.. now hurry!” ” Wait..” said Jim as he was pulled to his feet, ” Its stopped.” And for a moment all that could be heard was the sound of the rain hitting hard against the ground..until… ” What’s that?” Tom said looking back in the direction of the path they had taken only seconds before. In horror and disbelief they both stared as they saw the long grass begin to part as though a hellish wind were cutting a path for the Devil himself. Then came the sounds of short, sharp, sickening inhalations of breath interspersed with noxious spitting and the most cruelly vindictive hissing…

In my ongoing mission to ‘get the hang of vectors’, I came up with this. It’s an attempt to give my 2D medusa some depth. I also wanted to play with the fear (is it just me?) of looking down and everything dropping away into darkness. / / At this point I’m still finding out what’s possible and surprising myself along the way / …The biggest surprise was the eight hours it took my (shonky) computer to turn it into a bit-map. / /

16” X 20” Oil on Canvas “Near them their sisters three, the Gorgons, winged / With snakes for hair— hated of mortal man—” Medusa was a terrible monster who had laid waste to the country. She was once a beautiful maiden whose hair was her chief glory, but as she dared to vie in beauty with Athena, the goddess deprived her of her charms and changed her beautiful ringlets into hissing serpents. She became a cruel monster of so frightening an aspect that no living thing could behold her without being turned into stone. All around the cavern where she dwelt might be seen the stony figures of men and animals which had chanced to catch a glimpse of her and had been petrified with the sight. Perseus, favored by Athena and Hermes, the former of whom lent him her shield and the latter his winged shoes, approached Medusa while she slept, and taking care not to look directly at her, but guided by her image reflected in the bright shield which he bore, he cut off her head and gave it to Athena, who fixed it in the middle of her Aegis. / -from Bulfinch’s Mythology /
