Mythologies II

I am honored to announce that I produced art for the new Danaë Xanthe Vlasse album, MYTHOLOGIES II and its up for another Grammy! I created the cover art and inside illustrations for her first Grammy winning MYTHOLOGIES album two years ago. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performs on this second version to great effect. I know everyone is hoping for another Grammy win.

Sopranos Sangeeta Kaur and Hila Plitmann embody iconic characters from ancient Greece. Here Sangeeta represents Medusa, a beautiful priestess devoted to the goddess Athena who was transformed into a Gorgon, played by Hila. 

Greek mythology has persisted for thousands of years because those stories speak fundamental truths about the human condition and what we value in society. 

The above image reflects the Andromeda composition. In the story, Queen Cassiopeia offended Poseidon (the god of the sea) when she boasted of her daughter Andromeda’s beauty. Poseidon reacted by sending a deluge of tides and a sea monster named Cetus to ravage the land as a penalty. An oracle predicted that the kingdom might be spared from starvation if Princess Andromeda is sacrificed to the sea serpent.

Here I show Perseus arriving on Pegasus for the showdown.

All images were conceptualized and designed, then produced using photographic reference, Photoshop, AI elements and a heavy dose of evolving happy accidents.

More images were created and these will most likely be shown in a follow up album.
