Description: St. Georgios and the Wyrm. Inspired by the small joke poem by the medieval orthodox monks and beautiful ancient Orthodox Art of Lettering. The inscription starts at the top left. Verbatim translation: " Saint Georgios in fight, On a dashing sits steed, Holds in hand the spear, Pokes the Wyrm in the ass." My understanding of this medieval verse - is that sometimes flogging is worse than killing. Shame is worse than death. "Make the scary funny, and it stops being scary."
Description: The banshee (bean sí in Irish) is a ghoulish figure from ancient Celtic fairy lore. She is said to appear as an omen of death, wailing and crying outside of the home for a loved one in the house who is soon to die. She is a pretty terrifying figure. Legend has it that the banshee only wails for five different Irish families. I am a descendant of one of those five families, so I felt compelled to portray this wailing wench in all her spooky glory!
Description: The ancient Irish writing of ogham reads “tip of the spear” on the spear shaft. The runes around the image read “all our hopes and dreams travel with you” because, as stated above, your existence represents the summation, the grand total of all the lives and actions before you.
