I have been making some new work for the first time since Art on the Prom. Its been hard to get my hands used to drawing again but I think its gone pretty well.
Im working on some new images to put onto cards and possibly other bits and pieces like t-shirts and tote bags. For a change I have done some God figures not just my beloved Goddess figures. I dont feel as comfortable drawing Gods, as I feel little connection to them, but a couple of people convinced me to give it a go. I think however that I prefer my Goddesses and they will always be predominant in my work. I am ok with this.

Ganesh, pen and ink, based on the elephant headed Hindu God |
Im planning on setting up my etsy shop again (and hopefully a folksy shop too) this winter to sell artwork, cards, etc and hope this will bring me a bit of extra income eventually.

Rowan, the Forest Spirit, pen and ink, actually inspired by an ancient Chinese shamanic statue I saw in the British Museum. But I made my figure female. I can see her running through the forest and hiding behind trees on scorching hot days. |

I really like 'Rowan', I think she is my interpretation of a set of shamanic ideas and practices rather than being a somewhat more direct homage to the Goddess/God images I usually draw from.
Finally, I give to you my Yule drawing:

Shh... She's Asleep, pen and ink, based on the Pagan festival of Yule and how I feel about the Earth at this point in the cycle. |
Hope you enjoy my new work!
