Psychopomp

This elegant deer is by the very talented Andibi, who is on DeviantArt.  I like to browbeat other artists to let me put up work that I admire, and this is one of those whose work makes mine look like the scribbles that they are.  (hence the name of my site).  Mr. Andibi likes anthro deer.  Not only is this unusual in my experience, but he has a pre-conquest mythos surrounding said deer.  This deer escorts the souls of the dead to the other side.  





Wounded


" Acrylic on panel, 7 x 5 inches.  This is supposed to be a fey being, essentially immortal, but capable of feeling human longings.  The arrow can be either metaphorical or physical, but in general, it represents heartache.  The design carved on the stone is based on the Entrance Stone at Newgrange, in County Meath, north of Dublin.  It's one of the great monuments of Celtic Ireland and a reminder that the pain of this world, however bad, is not eternal ".  This description is written by the artist.

The Kaikeoua, or the Plea from the People to the Daughter of Father Sky, is to thank Keoua for the gift of rain.  Notice how he declines this noun.  Andibi is seriously educated in Philology and folklore.





Forgive

If she accepts the flowers, all is rosy.  If not, one must carry them until they wilt.  By this time the whole village knows that all is not well with you.

Is this guy good with pencils or what?

Tahenu And The Lord Of Death


Well, there it is.  It is important to read what he has to say about his creations, and that is best done by going here:




To say the least, Andibi is an illustration grade artist and possesses an imagination like I have never seen before.  Hmmmph....no talking rabbits, though!

Two Angel Forms Were Seen To Glide

’Twas on a lofty vase’s side, Where China’s gayest art had dyed The azure flowers that blow; Demurest of the tabby kind, The pensive Selima, reclined, Gazed on the lake below. Her conscious tail her joy declared; The fair round face, the snowy beard, The velvet of her paws, Her coat, that with the tortoise vies, Her ears of jet, and emerald eyes, She saw; and purred applause. Still had she gazed; but ’midst the tide Two angel forms were seen to glide, The genii of the stream; Their scaly armour’s Tyrian hue Through richest purple to the view Betrayed a golden gleam. The hapless nymph with wonder saw; A whisker first and then a claw, With many an ardent wish, She stretched in vain to reach the prize. What female heart can gold despise? What cat’s averse to fish? Presumptuous maid! with looks intent Again she stretch’d, again she bent, Nor knew the gulf between. (Malignant Fate sat by, and smiled) The slippery verge her feet beguiled, She tumbled headlong in.

''The plight of Davis Paul'' ''Dam you to Hades Billy! why are you setting fire to my Wardrobe with your Cigarette!!?''...you would hear on occasion some kind of verbal anger often from Davis - shouting out in abstract Frustration, 'just because Billy Thought Davis Pauls Clothes were lame'' oh yeah, Billy D was the Dude.........Davis put up with so much crap and nonsense from the rebellious Layabout - come would be antisocial super hero, ''the enabler''...Davis Paul was literally at the end of his tether..all those worrisome late nights... Davis would often shout at Billy, during one of Billy's Trash rampages, ''Aunt may never has this problem ever with peter parker !'' and then the rest of the time, Davis Paul wondering where Billy was? and what was Billy D up too? then after hours and hour of worrying,  Billy would just rock up - staggering through the Front door, Gladiator outfit on, covered

Two Sides Of The Same Coin

 It was a lovely day in November.  At least Tom thought it was November, the air was crisp and cool and it felt Novemberish.  There were no calenders here, while he had a clock he rarely looked at it.  He never had to be anywhere at any particular time in any event, when he had to be somewhere he always showed up on time, if that's the word for it.  Anyway, it was a nice Fall day. Tom stood on his porch that surrounded the small field stone house, he could see and smell the smoke from his neighbor's fires, someone was cooking fish and the big cat was salivating.  Since he had had his coffee he wasn't hungry, but the fish really smelled enticing.  Odd, he thought, I haven't had meat since I got here.  When did I get here?  he thought to himself, I don't remember.  Maybe someplace in town sold meat, although he had never seen such a shop.  It didn't matter, what with the bread and potatoes and butter and honey he was never hungry.  Tom lit a cigarette
