about a week ago, while listening to their haunting melodies, i was reading their story as well + i was inspired to draw this.. they first appeared sometime in 1989, as "the pumpkin fairies", till they were renamed -about a year after- "slowdive", and used that name till they were forever split, in 1995.........
this is one of my biggest -in size- detailed drawings in watercolors + markers..
but tonight i'm in such a baaad mood (which actually matches perfectly with the heavy dark clouds outside) , so even though i know i should have worked some more on this, i didn't......
that gives you no excuse though to be gentle on me..
i'll probably edit it some more.. but then again, maybe not..
nooooope.. "halloween" in greece, is somewhere in february - march.. +it's quite different than the american halloween...
no pumpkins for us.. just dressing up in funny costumes, colorful + chearful parades, teasing strangers + getting drunk..
the roots of this feast derives from the ancient orgies (??) of god Dionyssus (one of the 12 ancient greek gods of Olympus), it'd be really interesting (i think) to look it up..
now it starts about 40-50 days before easter..

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
