Description
This is a depiction of the tree from Norse mythology "Yggdrasill". It is supposed to be a gateway between the different norse worlds; the heavens, the lands of the giants, Asguard, Midguard, the land of the dead, the list goes on. I think there are ten. I have souls of the dead traveling through at this moment.Pen & Ink on bristol.
Thanks for viewing.
Comments craved. Erika.

Nice art! I would like to ask for permission if it's okay to have your art be part of my list on my site? I am looking forward to feature some great gods and goddesses on my site. You can check out my site here, at the bottom. Of course I'll put a credit that this is your own art.
Hope you'll agree! \(^_^)/

No problem my love (: As do I, Klimt is amazing! I take a lot of inspiration for my art from Klimt and I managed to get this awesome Klimt book from the Borders closing down sale for £7! Whoop ^^

Thank you. I does take a while to become patient enough and brave enough to work strictly with ink. I think you would be so great at it though. Maybe you should try again.

This appears to sparkle! What a stunning illustration indeed. I adore your penwork. Love the style of the box containing the souls of the dead, and the detail in the trees. Makes me think of an Irish artist, I think he was active around 1912, I'll have to go look his name up - he worked in colour, but there's something similar in the graphic style. You put more detail in though, and I think that works really, very well indeed. Stunning work!

Nine worlds... Asgard, Midgard, Helheim/Nebelheim, Muspellheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim, uh, wherever the dwarves live, and then two others that I can't ever remember because I am a bad, bad, bad little Heathen.
Your Norse art is lovely. I love the art-noveau style depiction of the dead, and the extreme detail of the image as a whole.
