Michal concept art for the David movie….

We were robbed 😭 her design ended up being the design for Saul’s wife/Jonathan’s mother, Ahinoam

There’s so much from the David movie they didn’t include but made concept art for (I’m still very bitter about ghost Samuel…) but I would have loved to see Michal in the movie 💔

Cast your eyes upon this lovely little Psalter, copied in the Netherlands in the mid-15th century. It has an opening page featuring a large illuminated initial and decorated margins, and one large miniature of King David in prayer with his harp on the ground, God peeking at him out of a portal in the sky. It would originally have had seven more miniatures, but the others have been long since removed. Link in bio (UPenn Ms. Codex 2265)

"Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as his own soul. Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing and gave it to David and his armor and even his sword and his bow and his belt." - 1 Samuel 18:1-4

Finished my keychain idea! Now just gonna go and try to make it real. If it works then I would love to make a whole series of ancient duos. Maybe Gilgamesh/Enkidu next? Or Achilles/Patroclus? .... Rumi/Shams?...... Naomi/Ruth! There are so many...

(Fitness influencer bro voice): Hello, my name is King David and this is my daily routine. At midnight the Northern wind blows through my harp at the head of my bed, waking me up. I wash my hands and comb my beautiful red curls, and then I study Torah like a #boss until sunrise. At sunrise I take a moment to pray. I'm so #connected to G-d that all the birds and living creatures sing with me. Then I sit on my throne and attend to the matters of the day. I am the king, after all. After holding court, I go to visit my wives and my kids. One of my wives tries to kiss me, so I just imagine she's my dead best friend. I'm so masculine that the love of a man is worth more to me than the love of women. In the evening, I go to the balcony to look at the beautiful view of Jerusalem.

I love when homophobic Christians get mad when you say that King David was bi because ‘doing gay shit is a sin’, as if David didn’t do Worse
