marsyas enchanting the hares

2009-11-26T04:08:12Z

Philostratus the Younger, Imagines 2 (trans. Fairbanks) (Greek rhetorician C3rd A.D.) :
“[Ostensibly a description of an ancient Greek painting :] Marsyas. The Phrygian has been overcome; at any rate his glance is that of a man already perished, since he knows what he is to suffer, and he realizes that he has played the flute for the last time, inasmuch as inopportunely he acted with effrontery toward [Apollon] the son of Leto. His flute has been thrown away, condemned never to be played again, since just now it has been convicted of playing out of tune. And he stands near the pine tree from which he knows he will be suspended, he himself having named this penalty for himself–to be skinned for a wine-sack. He glances furtively at the barbarian yonder who is whetting the edge of the knife to be applied to him; for you see, I am sure, that the man’s hands are on the whetstone and the iron, but that he looks up at Marsyas with glaring eyes, his wild and squalid hair all bristling. The red on his cheek betokens, I think, a man thirsty for blood, and his eyebrow overhands the eye, all contracted as it faces the light and giving a certain stamp to his anger; nay, he grins, too, a savage grin in anticipation of what he is about to do–I am not sure whether because he is glad or because his mind swells in pride as he looks forward to the slaughter. But Apollon is painted as resting upon a rock; the lyre which lies on his left arm is still being struck by his left hand in gentle fashion, as though playing a tune. You see the relaxed form of the god and the smile lighting up his face; his right hand rests on his lap, gently grasping the plectrum, relaxed because of his joy in the victory. Here also is the river which is to change its name to that of Marsyas. And look, please, at the band of Satyroi, how they are represented as bewailing Marsyas, but as displaying, along with their grief, their playful spirit and their disposition to leap about.”

Here is a five page preview of Phonogram 2: The Singles Club which comes out in December. Now is a good time to ask your local comic shop to make sure they get a copy in for you!

HOWS THIS FOR ARTS AND CRAFTS

i was a hilarious teenager.

ALSO:

a couple months ago I decided It was necessary for me to finish Busted Wonder this year. So that meant that unlike before, I now had to set up a deadline. I asked KG, "hey, when would be a good time for you to have BW finished this year?" and he laughed scornfully and said well as long as we're dreaming, how about Midsummer's Day?* and I said, why are you a genius, that's perfect!

anyway, as you can see from the blurry chart, I am right on schedule - every page has been drawn, inked and scanned into the computer, except for page 80 which I am saving for a bit. Today after I am done with this entry posting nonsense, it is back to coloring page 53, so I can start putting boxes around my x's, in a timely manner, so that BUSTED WONDER WILL BE FINISHED AND POSTED COMPLETLEY ON JUNE 24, 2008!! It is pretty exciting, and I am super looking forward to spending the next handful of weeks coloring up the pages, I think everyone will be pretty happy with how it turns out, I am trying to do a super good job to make it worth everyone's wait.

anyway, thanks again you guys for all your patience, and I will see you all back here June 24!

* = not actually his words, bless him he has always been so nice about all this mess
