Mytheme: "The Year-King"


First in my Mytheme mask series exploring folklore, ritual, and myth, The Year-King is a symbol of sacrifice and rebirth, growth and harvest. The concept of death and resurrection exists across all cultures and mythologies, and the perceived control over nature and the gods through sacrifice was especially evident in agrarian societies where the success of the harvest was a yearly matter of life and death.

Process (Mask Series No. 1)


The TR painting is mostly done but still camera shy, so this is beginning of the new series using a lot more mixing of experimental media and acrylic painting. This guy here is where I am on the first.

St. Theodore the Brash

Currently in progress (for a friend), Saint Teddy is a continuation of the mixed media experiment. If anyone knows someone with a Roosevelt-shaped head who would be willing to model let me know!
