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.

 Dance Officer

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.





A Special Job

Is this guy good with pencils or what?

Too Cute!


This is just incredible.  I urge everyone to vist Andibi's page.   And just one more-





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!

The Back Cover   https://youtu.be/OKGCaiZDV28 Andrew the Bee is one of the extremely talented artists and writers I know from DeviantArt.  Andy is as good as any artist there is and it is an delight to be able to put up his work on my site.  We did this before but because the post depended on my knowledge of computer files it may have fallen a tad flat.  Here is the earlier version of this essay about a comics genre that I knew nothing about before reading all this. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2020/01/jungle-comics-safari.html https://www.deviantart.com/andibi

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible!

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

Image
This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later.
