Disguising the MaskDisguising the Mask: Batman the Trickster
“…it rose into space, its wings spread wide, then fell, its wings now a fluttering cape wrapped tight about the body of a man.”- Frank Miller, Batman: Year One.
For years, he has been a seminal figure among comic book heroes. He is the masked avenger of Bob Kane and Bill Finger’s Detective Comics, the Dark Knight of Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One, and a memorable inspiration among pop culture icons since his inception in 1939 (Steranko 42). At first, he was created solely as a reaction to provide a foil to DC’s straight arrow Superman; but as his popularity grew and continued, there appeared something deeper in his stories, something endearing. The Batman, a figure swathed in black, captured our imagination with his singular quest for vengeance and uniquely inspiring look. In the once flourishing uptown of the dilapidated metropolis of Gotham city, gunshots rang out changing the life of young Bruce Wayne, who swor

Mark of Cahim

He remembered the shepherd's eyes, the sun-creased skin beneath them orange and cracked like baked sand.  The man had pleaded with him, drawing tears from eyes so worn by exposure that it seemed impossible to draw anything from them.  His son was dead, he had said, taken by a beast a fortnight ago along with three others.  The magistrates of the poor district had done nothing just as the man's claims had gone unheard until the day he'd been brave enough to beg at the Prince's feet during a feast day's procession.
"It took my son!"  The shepherd rasped in a desperate sputtering of words.  "No father should send his son beneath the sands!"
Prince Ramah remembered that look just as he remembered the empty hollow in Sabylla's eyes the night she gave birth to a stillborn son.  Their hopes and dreams of a future had been taken from them in a quiet bundle of spoiled rags never once given the chance to learn how to ride a stallion or

Rosemary for Remembrance

Rosemary for Remembrance: The Metaphor of Flowers in Shakespeare's Hamlet
There on the pendent boughs her cornet weeds
Clamb'ring to hang, an envious sliver broke,
When down her weedy trophies and herself
Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide
And mermaidlike awhile they bore her up. (Hamlet Act 4, Scene 7.)
In a surreal passage of speech, Queen Gertrude retells the somber death of Ophelia, who drowned herself in Shakespeare's Hamlet amongst the lush scenery of willows, nettles, and garlands. However, as an audience, we are not shown this scene until artist renditions of Shakespeare's work in later movements took the sublime of what we could not see and made it a tangible, emotive vista. Through the translation of script to play to art, the visual symbol of the flower remains a physical signifier of pathos and meaning in Hamlet through their link to Elizabethan folklore and emblem, which Shakespeare purposefully applied, as F.

Hidden Wounds

"I cannot die."
The memory of the angel's voice cut through the fog of remembrance with the force of what seemed like an entire lifetime she'd forgotten.
All her thoughts froze at the sight of her fingers after she had absently wiped her nose. She wiped her nose again to find the same red substance present on her fingertips. It couldn't be blood, could it? Angelina frantically searched around, her eyes finally finding the dried spots of brown blood that dotted her pillow case and her night gown. She rushed to the bathroom, which was thankfully just through the shutter doors across from her bed. The light clicked on illuminating the pink marble walls and the mirror reflecting her haggard form. Angelina stared in shock at herself, at the stained cotton nightgown, at the little stream of blood that had mingled with the sweat on her chest most likely from the severe nosebleed she'd received while she was asleep. As she leaned forward over the cold sink to wash herself, she suddenly

It was a thrill to talk to you at DragonCon after reading your book Angelic Visions. You're so inspiring. What was the name of the book about the Fallen Angels you told me about???? I also love the angel print you gave me!!!!!

Hmmm I believe I may have told you about the Kushiel's Legacy series of books (about the land founded by angels in an alternate medieval fantasy France). The first book was Kushiel's Dart, to start with. It was wonderful to meet you too! Thanks for seeking me out to let me know you've enjoyed my work. It really makes an artist's day to hear they have inspired someone else.
