Perseus Magnets
Description: A neon-style outline composition against a black background. The central figure, reminiscent of Perseus from Greek mythology, is depicted in profile, wearing a helmet and draped clothing, holding the severed head of Medusa in one hand. To the left, a vintage boombox is suspended. The figure is balancing on a skateboard, wearing sneakers. The overall aesthetic is a minimalist, retro-futuristic outline.
Description: The beefcakey 80s at their eightiesest! Harry Hamlin's Perseus from the stop motion / live action sword and sandal 1981 epic Clash of the Titans. Check out that Hamlin Hair! this great retro throwback has been on Heather's mind ever since we saw Ready Player One and she spotted Perseus' shield among the easter eggs. (in I-Rok's loot drop) Great gift for 80s movie fans and Clash of The Titans lovers!
Description: Bubo, in Greek Mythology, was a robotic replica of Athena's beloved magical owl of the same name. Bubo was forged by Hephaestus and sent by Athena to aid Perseus in his quest to save the princess Andromeda in the original 1981 film, where Bubo helps him overcome numerous enemies.
Description: Once a beautiful maiden, Medusa was cursed by Athena to become a monstrous Gorgon. Writhing snakes replaced her hair, fangs and claws replaced human features, and her gaze turned men to stone. Though fearsome, Medusa's story highlights the danger of unchecked beauty and the potential injustice faced by women.

Description: The Gorgon Medusa was a mythological monster who would transform you in stone if she'd look at you. Her hair were braided with snakes. Perseus got close to her with the help of a mirror, he slayed her and cut her head off, then went to rescue Andromeda - but this is an other story ! This is one of my actual mosaics, made of glass and stone tiles. You can see my mosaics at : www.mosaic-blues.com.
