Movember

Grow that mustache, baby. No, be a serious for a moment here. Movember should point at some serious topics like cancer. Just like depression, cancer, especially prostate cancer, is something what is dangerous because people are ashamed for it. Many men just don't go to the doctor, because they don't wanna to be touched at private places. It's understandable, but everybody should thing of prevention, because it's the best thing for curing cancer, or some serious illneses like it. Don't be ashamed for anything! It's your body, your health and you know yorself best. Think positive, and think of prevention.

Tired secretary

Herpein (or Fallen) was secretary of Pliny the Elder, when he was at Misenum (city near Pompeii). Pliny was known for his long studies when he needed his secretarians for writing notes and those secretarians (mostly his personal slaves) regulary falls asleep during his night studies. I can image how was Fallen exhausted when he was helping with his studies. So tired and so out of shape.

No work today, Bran!

Bran have tendenties to overwork himself, so he have tendenties to have really nasty headaches, or forgeting to eat. So Octavianus and Herpein tries their best to make him relax.

It’s really important to take brakes from work for some snacks and mental reboost. Make sure you relax.

Hades

God of Underwold, brother of Zeus.

I really like this guy, because, unlike his brothers and other Olympians, he do what he mean to do. He is in his domain, don’t care about what is happening abowe, because everything what is mortal once will end up... down there. He is not evil, he is just altruic, bit introvert, but still can rule his domain.

[francisbakereditor]

It is quite long time, isn´t it? :) I was quite busy last months with my work at the university and so do Patrik

But!

Patrik is still productive and drew this amazing picture of Gísli.She is so angry becouse of butterfly!

[patrikbennett]

Ou yeah :D Look at this furious horse :D That scary butterfly bullied her friend Ethnos, so she is angry at him. Because nobody will bully Ethnos, except for her!

Tabennisi 320 AD

I just wanted to draw happy Angel, so I tought, he could be around Egypt when Saint Pachomius made first cenobic monastery.

Some days can be happy, even for this guy.

Morning bird

Just a little morning bird for @francisbakereditor to cheers him a bit. Those days were hard, but everything will be alright again. Bones will heal, mourning will end... here is one morning bird. Bran had a rought night, had a terrible headache but it’s better now.

(I just love how he scratching his leg with other leg (totally not something what I sometimes do... nooo...) and how he looks like he wanna murder someone. Just look at this tired raven!)

[francisbakereditor]

Days are quite hard. It is just a little more than week since Ema died. She had inflammation of stomach. I was used to work with her very often and now she is away.

I miss her.

Plus I fell down and now I have broken wrist and twisted thumb (left fortunately). Such a pleasure are last days.

[patrikbennett]

I miss her too, she was wonderful...

[patrikbennett]

Melancholy

I am just finishing my thesis about death in Elizabetian period, so I wrote a lot about Shakespeare, etc. And gues who knows Shakespeare in his days! Right, Fallen. This sneaky deamon learned how to write sonnets from Shakespeare and his poems are the worst in the all nine circles of Hell... But he is also a bit personification of melancholy...

[patrikbennett]

Flower crown

Just a little sketch of Fallen who had flower crown, because, why not?

I image, he can really enjoy his days, and even spear his happines with other (especially with Bran)

[francisbakereditor]

Fallen (or Herpein, if you want) is such a nice person. Just like Patrik. He is so kind and patient.

He really helped me in last days, which were quite hard.

[patrikbennett]

You are most welcome, Franchie :)

(I totally forgot to call Fallen here as a Herpein, son of Deimosius of Delphi, thanks for remind)

[patrikbennett]

Nightmare

Fallen have tendencies to have nightmares and sometimes, when he can, he seek after a company, so he could feel better.

[patrikbennett]

Flower crown

Just a little sketch of Fallen who has flower crown, because, why not?

I image, he can really enjoy his days, and even share his happiness with others (especially with Bran)

[francisbakereditor]

Little memory of Šumava mountains near my hometown.

These days are quite difficult for me. Almost everything become problematic and more problems are coming out.

So paiting this picture was quite terapeutic for me. :)

Black and White horses

In Plato’s dialogue Phaedrus, we can find Chariot allegory. Plato here discribes soul throu allegory of  Charioteer, who drive chariot with two horses. One is black represents irrational passions, appetites, or concupiscent nature, while the white horse represents rational and moral impulse.

Always when I read this allegory, I think about Bran and Octavianus. Octavianus is rich, hot-blooded, moody, sarcastic...

Bran is quiet, kind, more realistic, not so emotional and always thinks first, before he say something.

They are like Black and White horses.

I introduced you my old teachers in last three days, but today, I will introduce you colt named Gisli. I believe, one day we could be together. She is noriker horse almost one year old. And she is amazingly courious.

Her name means sunshine and which she really is.

[patrikbennett]

She is awesome. How she nibble saddle, bridle, brush, even you, Franchie. She almost ate you. And she is so cute and so curious.

I believe, she will be your one day.

[francisbakereditor]

For today I chose horse with very specific name. This is Hanyzka. I worked with her when Gam had problems with legs. She was great in dressage and she was also good in showjumping. But unfortunately, she was almost blind to her eye and when she got elder, her legs were bad to.

She died three years ago becouse of her legs. She almost couldn't walk and was in pain.

And some people saying that life is fair....

But I believe that she is happy now, with no more pain.

[patrikbennett]

Hanyzka was surely great, don’t feel sad because of how she had to leave. Be happy you could know her. She is happy now, I am sure.

[francisbakereditor]

Today, I would like to post another horse. This is Gala, Gam's halfsister. She is such personality, could be very moody but still very patient with riders.

Now she is retired, but I believe that she is satisfied.
