Man With The Tattered Smile

Description

Dew drinker-opium eater
i have seen your mouth transfigured
by the fragments of ancient fevers
it was a wild strange sound.

Honey seeker, sun worshipper,
i have heard the wind in white cedars
and black poplars
it was the color of wet narcissus

river walker, crocus gatherer,
i have tasted the petals of acanthus
and Thessalian iris
they were but circles of salt.
-poem by Bethany van Rijswijk
____________________________
first painting in a series on kennings for Loki. i decided i wanted to illustrate not just the kenning for his mouth sewing but tie in elements from a few myths and some elements i associate to the controversial baldr mythos; specifically blood moons and astrological fibers (not just lip stitching ones.) 

mind the mistletoe. 

50 hours, photoshop elements 4.0+2004 ball mouse.
