"The Rape of Europa" is the name of a very famous piece of artwork by Francisco Goya. That is probably what the artist is referencing

Europa was rapted... or raped... itΒ΄s confusing because of one single word
but as far as I remember, Europa wasnΒ΄t raped at all... bah, there are different versions about the same myth

One of the things greek mythology has taught me:
Don't go flower picking.

You are confussing myths.
The birth of the minotaur has nothing to do with this or with HeraclesΒ΄s jobs.
This is just Europe and Zeus.
Bulls are very important in mediterranean cultures and just keep appearing in myths ^^

I'd love to render a Nemean Lion fight! I've always been obsessed with that image. I'd like to make the lion more otherworldly and nastier than your average lion.

thanks!! You are too kind. I'm trying to work on a Hercules pic to fit in this series.

oooh, that sounds good. =] you'll probably capture him perfectly. Have you ever considered illustrating a book for someone? because if you did, that would make one awesome book. except i personally wouldn't learn or read anything because i'd be too absorbed by the pictures.

thanks!!! you are too kind! I actually illsutrated a series about8 years ago. the Solomon Raven series. It was done with pencil and digital and it is hard for me to look at now. We are all our own worst critics!

wow that's amazing! i want to go look at it now. And yes, I suppose we do criticize ourselves to much. But that's how we get better, on the up side.
