Icarus.

Icarus

Acrylic, Inks, Newsprint, Letraset Transfers

A running theme in many of my paintings is my insistence on picking titles in languages I am totally unfamiliar with and then getting my translations from dubious sources. Like celebrities and their celebrity tattoos. I seem to remember translating this one myself, letter by letter, using Greek typographic styles I found in an old dusty book. I showed it to a guy who was half Greek and he said I was nearly right. Like spelling POLITICIAN as T-O-S-S-E-R is nearly right.
