Illustration Friday - Forward

When you're on your Hero's Journey, you are always moving forward!

Inspired by Joseph Campbell's quote about the hero's journey: "What I think is a good life is one hero journey after another. Over and over again, you are called to the realm of adventure, you are called to new horizons."

Illustration Friday - Twirl

Twirl and float, as in a fairy's dream.

Illustration Friday - Grounded

My personal interpretation of the Greek myth about Icarus. He ignored all warnings, flew too close to the sun, melted his wax wings, and was - in the worst way - grounded.

But before the tragic fall, I'm sure it was an amazing flight!

Illustration Friday - Messenger

The Messenger: The journey may be difficult, but she will reach her destination.

(An image for the times when the road seems too long. We will all reach our goals some day, if we keep on the path!)

Season's Greetings!

Illustration Friday - Scary?

Throughout time, mermaids have been seen as scary and dangerous creatures, waiting to lure men to a watery grave.
This, as every mermaid knows, is complete nonsense!
