I'm very happy with the way that one came out, and I hope to do more diptychs in the future (when the theme is right). I don't think I surrendered the Greco-Roman mythology at all, nor my eurocentric mythology. Rather, I think I've just opened myself up to the Shinto mythology and let them all mingle together in one huge deity melting pot. When I was a kid, I was equally into the Greek gods and the less immortal Norse gods (though I gotta admit, I liked the Greek stories better back then). It's not really a conscious choice; I think I pretty much accept them all as they are, let them hobnob, and see what happens. It's a massive pantheon party down here.

Huge thanks go out to everyone who dropped by to chat and look at all the talent on the walls. The show was really well attended; it was a pleasure meeting so many new art fans. As usual, silly me forgot my camera, but a good friend has promised to get some photos to me soon. You’ll be able to see them soon after.

Absolutely LOVE and admire the prints I ordered. Am oh so taken by the duo-panel of lightening and thunder... I'm oh so curious as to how one is able to surrender the greco-roman myths of euro-centric childology in the U.S for that of another culture...you seem to have done so..and quite subtly!!! Love what you do with scissors and paper! Hope all is well, Bridget Patrick,
