July's illustration is named 'Sappho's Sparrows' 👭🐦⬛🌿
Rereading the Ode to Aphrodite, the description of Aphrodite's chariot being pulled by sparrows made this scene spring to mind; Sappho performing a love poem to her gf with sparrows flying from the lyre towards her like musical notes.
Patrons in July will be receiving digital downloads, wallpapers, prints, and stickers of this illustration 🧡 Patreon.com/flaroh
