Artist's Comments
OK, so what will prolly be my last piece of art here for at least two years.
This is an illo of sorts from one of my favorite Finnish folkish songs -- and also a gift of sorts for Inziladun who was so kind as to translate many Suomi songs that are precious to me -- thanks Kasper. mustaksi ne sanoivat pahan panijaksi panettelee mustaksi ne sanoivat mustempi oli sanoja manalle mene kulkemaan vene ventoja vesiä manalle mene kulkemaan ja mustakin vitivalkiaa maahinen neito saa maasta ja mullastaan maahinen neito saa suudella sulhoaan maahinen neito saa maasta ja mullastaan maahinen neito saa suudella sulhoaan ------------------------------------------------------- They said I was black, that I lie with the evil one, black, they said (those who said it were blacker). Go travel the underworld, row the secret waters, to the underworld, where black is snow-white... The earth-maiden's mate is the earth and the mold, in earth and mold let her kiss her bridegroom. The earth-maiden's mate is the earth and the mold, in earth and mold let her kiss her bridegroom. More stuff later in the journal. -Jory Daily DeviationGiven 2004-09-19Maahinen Neito ("Maiden of the Earth") by *novenarik presents a core theme of humankind, death, through the ancient context of Finnish folklore and the Kalevala. Immerse yourself, and ponder upon the very nature of that spiritual transition, in this brilliant and deeply addressing work of vector art. (Suggested by !inziladun and Featured by `voodoo-prophet) |
