Human beings exist for the sake of one another: so, either teach them or endure them. Οἱ ἄνθρωποι γεγόνασιν ἀλλήλων ἕνεκεν: ἢ δίδασκε οὖν ἢ φέρε. --Marcus Aurelius, Meditations VIII.59

My cover illustration for "The Bloomsbury Handbook of Plato"

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Mateo Duque, one of the editors for the book, and we had a really exciting collaboration to come up with this cover image.

In the sky we have the symbolism for Platos "platonic solids" (polyhedra with identical faces) and Socrates is having a dialogue with Phaedrus under a plane tree alongside the Ilissos river. In the distance is the Acropolis of Athens with a swan in flight, a bird that was associated with Apollo and Plato associated the swan with himself, saying that the swan sang most beautifully nearest death.

This was a dream commission. I hope to get more projects like this in the future. What an honor to do a Plato cover for such a respected publishing company like Bloomsbury!🙌😁🤟❤ a true high point of my illustration career thus far.

If you could share this image with your followers it makes a big difference for exposure and gaining more commission work. As always, your support is everything. xoxo love you all!

one way i've learned to deal with my constant, overthinking, inner monologue and to avoid spiralling is to treat the little voice as if it were socrates haunting me. like, yeah there may be some truths there, but also, this was just supposed to be a friendly gathering so shut up, you nude feet weirdo

Therefore, we must cut away two things--fear of the future and memory of past unpleasantness; the latter no longer pertains to me, the former not yet. Circumcidenda ergo duo sunt, et futuri timor et veteris incommodi memoria; hoc ad me iam non pertinet, illud nondum. --Seneca the Younger, Epistles 78.14

「 We owe it to ourselves to live a good life, one of prosperity; one of integrity, of honor and devotion. To be a pupil and steward to the Brothers and Sisters still struggling to make it out of the dark. 」

"Through the journey, the Work is never completed; for it sheds layers upon each new beginning, pushing through the begrudging embers which we feel surrounds us, as greatness is made out of the most vulnerable of Man; to those whom are brave enough to have chosen to make this journey walk alone along the darkness where the end is seemingly nowhere in sight, and the shadows scream around one, dancing; flickering with illusion. This journey lies awakened in a constant battle of mere tribulation, where Man shall indeed witness the test of ones Might streak across a dimly emblazoned path of self–sacrifice; narrow, with subtle stability. Man wearingly proceeds along a tightrope to the path of ones destiny; the path of ones Will, reflecting illusions of shadows.

Shall one allow it to consume the formidable essence of their being, or shall they proceed to initiate an illumination of ones light; to cast a shadow of a few, yet be a fractal of many? It is there at the crossroads where it lingers once more, upon a stillness, performing it's dance amongst the darkness as it begins to dissipate; for it sees the light of Man now touching the edge of an ephiphany, one which greets an open field to the light of a new dawn. The realization of one who has survived tribulations of the night. A moment of rest insues; insight upon the danger of what could of been at a moment nearly out of sight. Through the rings of darkness, it lays dormant at the edge of the forest haze; giving its decrepitory gaze upon Man, as they shall too meet once again; but for now, beyond the face of a new phase, one begins their trek closest to the riddles end of its maze."
