Tales & Legends

January 27, 2008


Tales & Legends

There is no greater debate than the creation story, so here is my image for Illustration Friday for this week, entitled the “Substance-Maker”, a creation story. I actually created this image January 16, 2008, but I thought it fit for this week. I am fascinated by bears lately!

This is a tale of a female entity out of the cosmos, who was an artist in her own right and decided to create a world, of substance, of matter, she formed the animals and the world, but humankind has yet to be invented…

Okay,for the writers out there this is a trigger for a story…!

    Hi Indigene – I really like the monumental nature of the main figure.

    I love that you have a story behind this illustration. I especially liked being greeted by the bear on your banner as well as your tales and legends bear.:)

    Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Finally had a chance to come see yours, I love the textures in your work and especially like this mythological piece.

    Powerful image. I can feel the weight of her beliefs watching over this woman.
