ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς
My recent ascent into fatherhood has kept me from being able to create new artwork (though my definition of art now includes my daughter), so I haven't posted in a while. But - I was finally able to get back into something this week, mostly painted during naps (hers, not mine). This started as the inkwork for the Gym Class Heroes' Berserkers graphic I did (which was colored digitally), now watercolored and with new lettering. In case anyone cares, the lettering is greek and means "Either [with] it [your shield], or on it" - a spartan battle motto, meaning you either come home with your shield (victorious), or on it (honorable death in battle). Those were the only two choices.
