It will be hard not finding an artist who doesn’t like painting stags or deer. But which artist likes to tell the story of the world of Cernunnos/Carnonos?

I am happy to make a likewise commission for you showing a real deer in a symbolic landscape. In my drawing I have placed Cernunnos, as a real deer, in the three layered universe of the Celts, showing the underworld Dubnos (approached by entering the prehistoric stones, the middle world -Bitu- in which we live, and the upper-world Albios, being the equivalent of heaven. To show this isn’t just a deer but a shapeshifting, mythological being, I have his antlers shapeshifting into birds.

The border I can fill with Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, or Viking patterns and perhaps with texts should that be preferred.

I will work on either 31/41 cm, or 26-36 cm, in graphite. The result will be a softly rendered drawing that goes well with a wooden frame. It would be nice to find an artist who can pyrograph the wooden frame with a pattern that fits your preferred border (for instance Celtic patterns).

This will be such a personalized commission; I will waive copyright so that the customer can make photos and small prints to be used as bookmarks.
