Hermes of the Digital Age


Today, I fly to my mom's house to spend the remainder of my school holiday, so I have a treat for you all: an image of Hermes. This is the first time I have used my oil pastels, ink pens, and watercolor pencils in about three and a half years, and I'm not exactly Velazquez here, but I hope you enjoy it.

Created with oil pastels, ink, and watercolor pencils, with text added via GIMP image editor.

Io Hermes! Please keep me safe as I go on my journey today!

I liked the idea of 0 and 1 as background, but the Hermes is looking like a Brazilian rock singer called Rita Lee: http://www.calypsofm.com.br/imagens/artistas/20080826115236.jpg

Heh. That's a disturbing thought.

The 0's and 1's make up the first four or five lines of the longer Homeric Hymn to Hermes.

A) Annyikha is a royal refugee from the vicinity of Betelgeuse. Many say that she is a collective hallucination, but an independent third party indicates that she is a recent Smith graduate. (Obviously, the exiled Betelgeusian Bradghsol Empire likes to keep people guessing.)

B) Annyikha is a young woman with a BA in English. She practices Hellenic Polytheism, paying special attention to Apollon Musagetes, Hermes Logios, Athene Sophia, and Mnemosyne. Annyikha is definitely a geek, and she writes poetry, prose, constructed languages, and science fantasy.
