So I uhhh... I finished the Iliad. I had a lot of fun but there were so MANY weird ass funny moments that I HAD to draw. Enjoy my personal retelling of these bits. (The designs for the characters are very undocumented and definitely not final though).

Hector and Scamandrius sketch
Might eventually make a better/cleaner version at some point but for weeks I've been trying to get this out of my system.

“I go
I am the last one left in a line of kings
I was caught
in an act of perfect piety.”
-Antigonick (Sophocles, Trans. Anne Carson)
writing a paper on antigone and had to draw her or i’d go insane. love the fascination different translators have with Antigone’s eulogy for herself and the role of fate in the play

Fashion Friday:  The Fringe Binge
Today, I continue my UWM Special Collections exploration of fashion through the ages with Assyrian costume. You may recall from last week’s post that I am conducting an independent study in Special Collections this semester on the history of costume and fashion to help inform my own practice. 
The ornamentation of this ninth-century BCE culture is dramatic with complex layering, repeating patterns, and textile borders, e.g., dual beltings, rosettes, and lots of tassels. Sensibilities include shawls and slings, scaling armor, and animal fur, all invoking a fringe motif.
A significant source of Assyrian wearables are from one particular excavation site known as Sam'al or Zincirli in southern Turkey, its rulers changing over its 2,500 yearlong existence as a trading hub and crossroads of multicultural peoples. The buried fortress and the kingdom itself ended in the Neo-Assyrian period of the late seventh century BCE.
Among the prizes of this modern-day dig are two depictions of the lion:  a formidable threat often shown in defeat in the King’s hunt, and the lion as a hybrid deity—the lamassu— protecting the venerated empire.  
My first fashion plate is inspired by an ancient fragment with rosette and fringe detail on both figures’ shawls and tunics, while the man’s tarbush also has rosette and tassel. Can you spot the decorative muses in the additional plates?
