August - Myths and Legends - Nathan Pye

My entry doesn't refer to any Myth or Legend directly, but I used an an old drawing and concept to mash up some existing ones.

My initial idea was an angry octopus god, surrounded by shattered ships and oceanis debris. I started to weave in some Ganesha influences, and it just slowly calmed everything out. Ended up a lot more serene than I initially intended.

Feels like it needs a few more days in the oven, but a deadlines a deadline. :P

August - Myths and Legends - Tracey Head

I am addressing parts of the self through my painting - illustrating fables, myths and legends. Architypes are examples of different states of mind and a way for me to express my emotions. Art is a way of life, it is a journey to another land and the castle diplicts the start. Like the fool in the Tarot, he begins with not perceptions, ideals and awaits and learns on the way.

August - Myths&Legends - Phoebe Adams

"Born From An Egg" is a tribute to King Monkey the monkey god who proclaimed himself "Great Sage, Equal of Heaven". As a kid I used to watch "Monkey Magic" on the ABC every day after school. If you have never seen the series then do yourself a favor and watch it. The entire series can be found at Blockbuster Warrnambool (I haven't seen em anywhere else). The show is based on a Chinese myth, acted by Japanese actors, filmed in China and dubbed over in English. If you like an epic adventure, martial arts, shabby special effects, humor, awesome phrases like "Life is the meaning the universe sends to itself." Then Monkey is for you.

"The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!"
