Man and God
>> These two are from my still-embryonic Crow story-for-comics. The bottom is the main character, and the top is the trickster-God thing that he becomes in his dreams. There's a part where GodCrow leaps into the Sun, and PlainCrow gets involved in a terrorist bombing. It somehow turns out vaguely Oedipal. >_>
I've been reading a lot of xxxHolic. Just felt like I should mention.

Oh, wow. I love this. Just the wheel/stained glass window/sun and the connection between that, the moon, and the figures of flying dream/spirit form with earthbound waking consciousness. I mean, I may be channeling my inner literature major and this might not be intended to be so meaningful, but it looks pretty meaningful.
Thanks, I'm a bit of a mythology buff m'self. =) To be frank, I only manage to extract meanings after I put these drawings down on paper, but there's probably something working on a subconscious level.
The deal with the Crow story is the interaction between the spiritual, the mythological, the abstract, and a person's personal experience. The seed idea is from Ted Hughes' Crow poems (obvious in the part about leaping into the sun). GuyCrow is accessing the Collective Unconscious just like most of us, but GodCrow turns out to actively involve itself with his life more than expected.
