Born on the Bayou
Just spent two days having more of my inner green revealed by my tattoo artist Little Bryan. We colored in the scene around Swamp Thing (pics soon, I promise), and got a start on Pan (Greek god of wild nature, mischief, and fertility). In this Green tattooed tapestry, Pan will represent joy & shenanigans.
The full cast of characters includes Green Man ("Green Heart"), Treebeard ("Green Wisdom"), The Darkling Thrush ("Hope"), Cernunnos/Herne the Hunter ("Green Action"), and Swamp Thing ("Sense of Place, Protector"). Since Cernunnos represents both hunter and hunted, we also added in a cameo appearance by Artemis/Dianna, Greek Goddess of nature.
Treebeard will eventually run all the way down my left arm, with my fingers as the roots. The scene with Herne and Artemis is supposed to be dark/at night, but will eventually have some color highlights (magic, after all). The scene with Swamp Thing will be filled in with swampy details: fragrant water lilies, a line of mossy trees behind, perhaps even an old gator peeking his eyes and snout above the water. We will also color and fill in the scene around Pan (fun and shenanigans) dancing on my ribs amid wild grapes and spider lilies.
