IM IN UR INTERNETS, EFFEMINISING UR HEROES

Last weekend, our newspaper reported that my favourite Belgian museum, the Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren, is open again after having been closed three years for renovation purposes. Better still: the museum announces an exhibition devoted to my favourite Celtic chieftain, Ambiorix! Massive SQUEEage!!! I'm terribly excited and can't wait for the fifth of December XD.

The wonderful news immediately inspired me to mess with my watercolours and churn out two Ambiorix pictures as well as a Gawain portrait. And for some reason I went a bit overboard painting their mouths. Er.

It's funny how the traditional imagery of Ambiorix, the Muscular, Moustachioed, Axe-wielding Hero makes me want to assert my sly, clean-shaven, impish ephebe instead ;-)...





( Three paintings, and I'm throwing in a video too. )
