Another linocut print in the non-existent Mythology series. I'm going to call it a series yet, because every time I do I jinx it. Does anyone remember me talking once about doing an alphabet series? Thought so...
I used to draw Pan all the time when I was in junior high and high school. I liked doing it because of the inevitable religious discussions that would erupt. They: "Look he's drawing the DEVIL!!!!" Me: No, it's Pan, he's different. He's from Greek and Roman mythology." They: "well, he looks like the DEVIL!" Me: "well he's not."
And so on and so forth. Eventually I would be informed that I was going to hell. And I would say "Don't count on me to save you a seat!"
Ah, life gowing up in the Bible belt.
This is not the Devil. The Devil does not play the Pan Pipes. Everyone knows he plays the accordian....
The print is 8 x 10 with the actual image 4 x 6. It is now available at my Etsy shop
Or you can buy it here directly

I thought the devil played rock and roll - no wait - that was elvis. I love your work - great blog. Do you color your prints with wc on rice paper? Nice.
I see Gary beat me here :-) Pan is one of my favorite mythological characters. A little mischief along with the sweet sound of pan pipes. Wonderful print!
Great print! Enjoyed the reproduced dialogue...but in my world, the devil plays the banjo!
