Postcard picture of a fresco from a church near Kakopetria. All the other frescos were explained in the guide…what is going on in this picture? Why are they all so sad (except that redheaded guy being held in the forefront)?
Check out this awesome ceramic sandwich that I made years ago….so bad.
Dimitri, a teenager trapped in a 9 year old’s body. He’s passed out in a chair at 12:30 in the afternoon because he was up all night. Completely oblivious to the alligator on his chest.
It’s over Safari! If were cool enough to notice this post has been corrected… Firefox allows me to now go back and fix all the crazy posts due to Safari’s “issues” with me creating posts….
Plugging away on a new series of woodcuts
Detail test of a woodcut I’ve recently carved entitled “The (un-welcome) Dinner Guests”. This thing is 60 cm by 80 cm making it the biggest thing I’ve carved in six years. It turns out that it may be too big. I can’t find decent paper on the island that size to print on. I’m actually thinking about recutting the whole image smaller (a shame I know) to fit with a series that I’m considering doing.
Nostalgia drawing from sketchbook 6. In case you were wondering what those epic battle scenes that I used to draw as a kid looked like, here’s a bigger one that I recently drew.
Ancient floor Mosaic from the House of Doinysus in Paphos. I’m really inspired by the borders, which is why I’m also considering recutting the (un-welcome) dinner guests.
More Mosaics
Besides the Masaics, we’ve been heading to old churchs in the mountains and veiwing the frescos. These are really amazing but you’re not allowed to photograph them. I have some post cards and I”ll be posting them in a few days.
Ancient Ruins of Kurion, located near Lemessol.
Famagusta’s DMZ. This is an abandoned stretch of beach in the north that runs for miles. No one is allowed to enter it since the war in 1974. Note the crooked shot because I had to shoot it discreetly. Armed guards in the area don’t look too kindly on people taking photographs of this area.
