Thank you - it's extraordinarily difficult to find the motivation to create in a time of war, but I've at last managed to find some sort of balance that allows me to create.

Earlier, I was only supporting the army... but then I realized that russia is making war against culture as well.

CREATING ART TO REPLACE WORKS OF ART DESTROYED BY RUSSIA...

An ornate Scepter of Selene...
(the ancient Greek moon-goddess)

This is part of my series of four ornate weapons.

It is not easy to create in the midst of war.

It's free to follow my Patreon page, and to know that good friends believe in one's efforts is perhaps the greatest inspiration of all.

The back of the Scepter of Selene...

I put a lot of effort into creating the goddess' hair - though, as this is actually at the back of the work of art, it is perhaps not likely to be very visible when this work is displayed...

Detailed metal-work on the handle, and an image of the wrappings on the handle.
(4/)

There is an immense amount of detail - and a very lifelike quality - about her eyes and lips and hair. It is rare in sculpture for eyes and lips to be as detailed as this.
(3/)

The moon goddess looks unearthly, like a being from another plane - I've subtly accentuated some features to create this effect. She is surrounded by a halo that represents the moon, and on her brow rests a moon-crescent.

RUSSIAN DRONES ENTER POLAND EN-MASSE >>

Ten russian drones have entered Polish Airspace

At least 6 Geran 2 drones have been detected over Polish territory. 3 are moving towards Lublin from the east and south-east, while 3 more fly towards Rzeszow

There are some reports of strikes (unconfirmed)
1.

APPEASEMENT. 'WATCHING' WHILE RUSSIA KlLL$ CIVILIANS WHOLESALE.

It works! Right?

Right?

Cowardice encourages tyrants and destroys the future.

This statement can be proven the easy way...
...or the hard way.

2.

NATO nations are scrambling fighters and support aircraft...

...including an Italian Air Force early warning radar aircraft now heading from Estonia towards Poland.
3.

In addition, a Dutch Airbus A330 MRTT tanker aircraft (that will refuel fighters already in the air) and an F-35 aircraft are approaching the border with Ukraine.

PLEASE NOTE >>

Ukraine has imposed 'permanent sanctions' on the 'Kuibyshev-Lysychansk' oil pipeline - a major oil pipeline in Saratov.

This pipeline moves more than eighty million tons of fuel annually, and is a logistics pipeline for the russian Army.

'Cut an artery and the beast bleeds out'.
1.

Should I say, 'Thank you for your attention to this matter,' or would that really be 'overkiII'? 🙄
3.

We have also imposed similar 'sanctions' on two hubs pumping natural gas in Penza.

The sanctions will continue until there is no orcland left to sanction.

PERIOD!!!
F### the appeasers.

VICTORY TO UKRAINE !!!!

CREATING ART TO REPLACE WORKS OF ART DESTROYED BY RUSSIA

A dragon-themed ornate medieval battle-axe...

I create art that ranges from painting and sculpture to metalworking and even making furniture.

This 'Axe of the Dragon' is the second in a series of 4 ornate medieval weapons.

And, for those who didn't see the first weapon in this series - a war-hammer - here it is...

This is the original design sketch from which I created the axe.

My thanks to all my friends here who encourage me in this defense of culture, and who encourage me to create.

I wouldn't be able to do ANY of this without you.
This is the absolute truth.

The axe is meticulously handcrafted in bronze and very detailed, with each scale of the dragon carefully created.

The axe is tipped by a spear blade, and the handle is wrapped in leather.
