Mago

Mago was a monarch, the first of the Magonid dynasty of Carthage. The painting is really just a study, but when I'd made it I thought of him.

When I saw it, I thought of chocolate.
You're so good. Amazing.
Do you have all ancient dynasties at the ready? I'd never heard of the Magonid dynasty until a moment ago. I thought it must be something from a story you are working on, but it turns out to have been a thing 25 centuries ago.

No, haha. That would be brilliant, but the truth is I just read about early Carthage on wikipedia a while ago and remembered the name. Nowadays such things are just one click and twenty minutes of reading away.

I love all the curves and shades in there. You must have a steady hand.

You probably see me when I am back from reality world. I have had quite a few periods this year where I couldn't find the energy for social media. But now that I've decided to get back on track and post a bit again.

I do the same, but this year I'm done with worrying about the world and happily back online more :) I hope to see you around @katharsisdrill :)

He looks as if he is standing in a room lit by a fireplace and listening to someone talking to him. He appears to be a warlike monarch, the kind of man you would expect the rulers of the ancients to have fought with their men. Indeed, I agree with owasco, while watching I would have liked to break off a piece of his helmet to eat the delicious chocolate :)

A very appealing and partly confusing art it is that you make. I went to your website and went through the gallery.

Yes, I do a bit of this and that and whatever takes my fancy. My art beck when I did fine arts was rather cryptic too so it probably how it has to be.

Thanks for a fine comment.

Hey, Nevies. I have gotten some of them, but as I have been in the coal-cellar I have let everybody down. I'll get back to things now, hopefully. How are things in Nigeria? I read a bit in the papers like the Vanguard, and it seems that Nigeria and drama is like a married couple :)

You've said it already, things in Nigeria are turpsy turvy. It's a battle between the good guys and the bad guys everywhere in the world, hopefully the good guys dominate here. How are things over there?

You said you've gotten some of them, I hope you didn't miss anyone, like none of them were undelivered. When you write me tell me the one you got, please, so I'll know you didn't miss anything that might have been important.

I'll look through my mail-box. I just had a hard time doing anything outside of the small circle of daily life, but I will write you so we can catch up. Otagburuagu will fly again.
