Scorpio Full Moon 2014 - Inspired by Rebekah Shaman

Recently I have been following Rebekah Shaman's beautifully written and insightful Lunascopes. During the previous Full Moon in Scorpio (we are now under the influence of a Gemini Moon!) I was inspired to do this illustration :-) Rebekah says: 'This Scorpio full moon is the most passionate, sensual and illuminating moon of the year. It is under this moon that Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and death are celebrated. Take some time out over this moon to be with yourself to strengthen your commitment to your path.' You can read her full Scorpio New Moon Lunascope here. You can also read her current Gemini New Moon Lunascope here.

Hannah Georgas 'Elephant' Illustration for Amelia's Magazine

'Elephant' - © 2013 Slowly The Eggs aka Maria Papadimitriou, all rights reserved

Recently I produced this illustration for an interview with Hannah Georgas about her self-titled album in Amelia's Magazine. I was very glad to discover Canadian singer, songwriter Hannah Georgas, whom I had not heard of before, through Amelia's Magazine! One of my favorite songs on her self titled album recently released is the song 'Elephant' and the image below is inspired by it. The lyrics are beautiful and they go like this:
You are off kilter with me. Don't you know it's every other day of the week? Your win my feat.
These days I'm running to escape. Drenching my brain, soak in my mistakes. My mistakes.
Is there any love left for me? Is there any love left for me?
That dark sky yeah it's so big. Isn't anybody wondering? Isn't anybody questioning what this all is? As I age it sinks deeper in. This life is temporary, it's all gonna end. This is all gonna end.
It's just a little love that I need. It's just a little love that I need.
There's an elephant in this room and I'm white as a ghost.
Show me the road.
All these moments become memories. I don't wanna wake up one day thinking what did I miss. I fear my own fate. I don't wanna wake up one day thinking where the hell have I been.
