I am embarking on a long term passion project of illustrating every single book of #TheIliad, #TheOdyssey, and #TheAeneid over the next few months. This is the first of many paintings to come.

#Day47 of posting everyday this year:

I finished a BIG section of the research I needed to do for my book where I made a #storyboard for every beat that happens in #TheIlliad. Next, I’ll be finishing my #readthrough of The Iliad, before moving onto #TheAeneid. I hope to be writing pages in April!

I’m reading #TheAeneid and I’m really liking it so far! There’s some really cool lines in it from Queen Dido and my fav so far is:
