Not a scroll
My mom wanted a scroll. She has always been my biggest fan. I made her this for Christmas.
The Penis Tree
I totally dig medieval marginalia. It's hilarious. Full of cats licking their buts, people pooping, weird grotesques, and nuns harvesting penises from trees. I have always wanted to recreate the picture of the nuns, but, lets face it, that is not exactly an image most people would want on their award scrolls. But then there was the scribal auction. A chance for the scribes to create artwork that would be auctioned off for charity. I knew right away what I was going to do. Oddly, this sold for quite a lot of money, and was actually one of the most bid on pieces in the auction. Calligraphy by violet Hughes
