This bean bag chair was going to get thrown out until my genius Back Injury Brain said "wait! Book Nook!" So we did book nook. And my spine thanks me for it. Today's shelf highlight is an old favorite, and if you think reading introductions and forwards is for chumps, you're wrong in most cases but also specifically you are wrong in this one. They're a delight. #bookstodon #booknook #thinkingcreatively #roomdesign #norsemyths #saturdayvibes

LOL! Found test sketches for a dormant project (~restoring lost myths about Norse godesses - because of course I go for the "easy" jobs - and make comics out of them). This is Frigga.

I do enjoy the works of Johannes Gehrts who illustrated an 1888 book called Walhall. Gods and heroes. Like this picture of Atli (Attila) a character from the Völsung Cycle.

On the other hand, I do not like his tendency to put horns and wings on helmets. I've actually removed them when I've used his works.

I just uploaded all the pictures from Walhall to #WikiCommons. Some were already there but not in great quality.

The "dvergar" of Norse legend and myth are rather confusing. People tend to think them short (as #Tolkien presents his dwarves) but the sources are not clear. In fact they tell us that the sky is held up by four "dvergar".

Do we imagine that the sky is held up by four short guys? Shouldn't they be gigantic?

Then we get a reference to someone who is said to be the size of a "dvergur". What does that mean?

#NorseMyths

I have once more made a podcast loosely based on a story from Norse Mythology.

This one is about a wall, a baby horse and a stallion that doesn't pay child support.

Please hit play on it, I need the external validation.

Two of my most favorite things on the Earth. Norse mythology and Final Fantasy 7.

Can't wait to get some reading done. What is everyone else reading for enjoyment?

These are my friends’ new wild house guests, visiting the lands to eat all the winter foliage. Beautifully grey and chubby from the summer smorgasbord, their names are Sleip and Nir. The ultimate “mythological twins melted into one” horse with all the gifts (and aaaaalll the 8 legs) 😍

"There was no horse-fucking, I can promise you! It was all very decent but the #NorseMyths are full of violence and there’s quite a lot of sex too, so I ran with that in the book because it was true, mythologically speaking…"

Not to put Mr Burgess and @TheGuardian_uk down, but the 18+ lore is neither brand new information nor first book ever written in #Loki's voice.

@joannechocolat "The Gospel of Loki" + yours truly's "Children" cover both.

who’s in love with #GodOfWarRagnarok and obsessed with #NorseMyths and the new #Hozier song #BloodUponTheSnow ? ME.

I do not like locking myself into one creative box, although art is my biggest push right now.
Hopefully one day I will write a fourth book for this all-ages series.
