myth

I have had an ongoing project called Hybrid Mythologies. Inspired by stories and mythological creatures, tales from different traditions and parts of the world, I have been playing with emergent stories, characters and creatures that incorporate different elements. It is really a kind of spontaneous, intuitive journey and play of associations - oftentimes surprising to myself in what emerges. This year I am planning to publish an artbook entitled Hybrid Mythologies and if it all goes according to plan, it should be done some time in May. I will post process from this book.

Acrylics, pen and posca. Diving into my ongoing fascination with the avian creatures. Mythological hybrids and fantasy storylines.

Macelby is an autumn spirit & a guardian of the Harvest. Generally, his appearance indicates a good omen, although he will take up the sword when the occasion arises.

In the Finnish mythology killing of a bear was followed by a great feast in honour of the bear (peijaiset), where a substantial part of the celebrations consisted of convincing the bear's spirit that it had died accidentally and hadn't been murdered. Afterwards, the bear's skull was hung high upon a pine tree so its spirit could re-enter the heavens. The bones of the bear were then buried under the pine. Reference for this work is my old drawing of karhunkallopetäjä/bearskullpine in the Riisitunturi. Also practice sketch of bear skull and at last photo i took of pine.

Artwork on paper. Pen, graphic pen, coffee and watercolor. Part of the Hybrid Mythologies series. Inspired by different mythologies and stories, this series is an intuitive exploration and associative drawing project with multiplicities of scenes inside each other.

I like Greek Mythology, so this was something I drew awhile back.

just a sketchy take on the myth of Icarus.

Rereading the Greek Myths lately and appreciating Hermes' footwear. Also I just like birds. :)

Freaky, yet chilled-out coffee vibes.

A little thanks to the works of Ariel Pink for this one. If you’re anything like I am, grooves like his always get you through your creative process

One of my first larger artworks spreading away from my normal doodling on papers. A tribute to my favorite mythical creature Cthulhu (: !!!!!Opinions would be soo appreciated considering I'm brand spankin new to art.!! also if you'd like this design on a notebook or t-shirt or even a print hit me up.

The Molting Man first appeared on my Red Spread (see second image); I refined him for the green spread (first). This bizarre Icarus deserves some kind of short story about him. I'm not sure what the plot would be. It's probably tragic.

This mermaid/siren is the type that's a man/octopus instead. I think he'd make a nice tattoo if he were cleaned up a bit.
