IF ...journey

Endlessly between a rock and a hard place, Odysseus' 10 year journey set the standard for globe-trotters for centuries to come; in the process, he became one of the most celebrated wanderers in history... ~shows you what a man can become without a sense of direction...

    Nice choice for the subject. I'm feeling that I could pick Odysseus up by his bread because the drawing of the hair is so solid. And what a nose too!

    I had to translate the Odyssey from Latin-English in HS. This brings back not-so-fond memories, although looking back I loved the story! Your work does it great justice.

    I like how your illo echoes a Greek statue and that his hair echoes the crashing of the sea waves. The symbolism you've cleverly hidden in his beard are really wonderful discovery items that make me want to read the story. Although, being gone for so long at sea, who knows what could be lurking in his beard? Very nice, Richard!

    Of course a woman might've stopped and asked for directions? Great take on Odysseus. Kind of wondering about that guy drinking in his beard. Was it really just a party cruise?

    Really lovely and very Greek with the sculptural definition of form. The sense of anticipation with a touch of dread is nice. He looks adequately harassed. I agree with Mardi about the waves/hair. i would not have made that connection.

    Thank GOODNESS he didn't stop to ask for directions! Excellent, spellbinding work! I enjoyed studying all the elements hidden in his features. I am in awe.
