Διόνυσος: I begin to sing of ivy-crowned Dionysus, the loud-crying god, splendid son of Zeus and glorious Semele. The rich-haired Nymphs received him in their bosoms from the lord his father and fostered and nurtured him carefully in the dells of Nysa, where by the will of his father he grew up in a sweet-smelling cave, being reckoned among the immortals. But when the goddesses had brought him up, a god oft hymned, then began he to wander continually through the woody coombes, thickly wreathed with ivy and laurel. And the Nymphs followed in his train with him for their leader; and the boundless forest was filled with their outcry. And so hail to you, Dionysus, god of abundant clusters! Grant that we may come again rejoicing to this season, and from that season onwards for many a year. / —Homeric Hymn to Dionysos.26.1–10 More Olympians / / / /

Aphrodite and her son Eros, Goddess and God of Love.

Perseus slew Medusa, the gorgan, by protecting his eyes from her petrifying gaze with a shield so polished he was able to gauge her presence by the reflection upon it’s surface…. / Sometimes artists hide behind thier work, presenting the world with constructions of themselves and their visions.

Ice.
by scott bilbyFinally I achieved a totally realized and previsualized shot…something I’ve been working on to be ‘professional’ for a long time now…the bra was handmade by my wonderful friend Susan Dabney and styling/makeup done by Shayna Jordan. I owe them lots of thanks and the model is Emilee. Her wonderful demeanor changed the original intention of the shot to be a comment on cold-hearted, icy, detachment to a much more beautiful and alluring image. This is my first ‘finished’ image that I’m totally satisfied with so hope you guys like it!

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.
