Description
Acrylic on PVCThoth{Egyptian god of time,magic,language...} reaching towards the cosmic center. I ment this as an interpretation of the myth of Thoth and Nuit{galaxy goddess} where Ra forbids Nuit from giving birth on any day of the year. Thoth remedies this by changing the 360 day calender to the 365 day calendar and within those five days Nuit's children came forth.
I thought it was an interesting myth becuase it coincides with the way the Mayans discovered accurate calendrics....once they found an accurate center, the cosmic center{Nuits birth canal} all things fell into place.
That far point is the inner-most point, a blackhole, that holds the galaxy together and creates its rhythm.

This also became a symbol for the magi, as well as a basis for freemasonry and many fraternal societies. REALLY great work. Bravo!!

That huge foot right up close and how far up the body reaches makes a really intimidating presents. Nice work on the stars as well, they look very realistic.

there is a lot of energy about this piece. does it make the viewer feel small in comparison to the monstrosity of the cosmos? i think it makes the viewer feel large. this was made so i could look at it. thankyou ^__^

in particular, the shammanistic qualities of his stance are most interesting. its as thou, there are very few distractions and o-so-many choices, yet he is particular and over whemingly beautiful (grace, stability, altitude in genius) Thoth is picking fruit for the remix.

the trick is a tun of patience and an equal ammount of medium
actually this one was watered down with just water but most paintings after it had just lots of transparent gloss or matt layers...go for the gloss you'll like it!
much thanks

Random comment, besides the fact that this painting is awesome; your icon looks like a different face on every frame, CorpusCallosum. Just thought I'd let you know. XD
