   Mythology and Folklore   

Myths (from Greek "mythos", story, legend, plot) are sacred stories concerning the origins of the world and its creatures. In a very broad sense, any traditional story can be a myth. Folklore are the traditions (legends, music, dance, etc) of a culture or group.

Here are some of my drawings and paintings featuring assorted mythological and folkloric themes.
