A few more Greek vases painted onto rocks with posca markers. Hand for scale.
If you like these and want to see my others (there are lots), search my blog for "Greek" (or other relevant tags but I'm not sure I got them all under any in particular). Also there are a few in my Etsy (link in bio).

Can’t get over this 1986 description of a vase in the J. Paul Getty Museum:
‘A bearded reveller with broad dotted fillet and wreath, naked but for a mantle slung over his left shoulder and his left and upper right arms, appears in his great excitement almost unaware of his boy-servants rescue operation. The small procession, on its way to the right, has come to a stop, and the boy must have turned around to answer his master’s call for a substitute receptacle: “ἀμίδα παῖ”. The reveller’s grand gesture, half-open mouth, and inspired upward gaze seem to reflect his devotion to the god whose gift he must have sampled to a great extent, as well as to express his pathetic urgency. Yet, because of his aroused state, nature’s call is forced to wait. The boy’s attitude, however, is calm and matter of fact. While shouldering his master’s knotty stick, together with the strings of a picnic basket, neatly covered by a fringed embroidery napkin, he proffers the large jug and steadies it to wait things out.’
Sir. Just say it’s a vase of a drunk man trying to piss in a jug a kid is holding for him.

I’ve been in the biggest art block for way too long, and I think it’s because I’m so out of practice 🥲 So I forced myself to sit down today and just do a little sketchbook-ing, and I ended up with this! I’m so pleased with these funky little vases! 🏺🖤
