The Sentinel of Secrets

In many cultures, crows are considered the keepers of secrets and the guardians of ancient wisdom. The first crow on your t-shirt represents the Sentinel of Secrets. Celtic mythology sees crows as messengers between the living and the dead, often associated with the Morrigan, the goddess of war and fate. This crow reminds us of the power of knowledge and the unseen truths that shape our destiny.

The Herald of Change


The second crow symbolizes transformation and change. In Native American traditions, crows are often seen as omens of change, both good and bad. They are the precursors of new beginnings, guiding individuals through transitions in life. This crow embodies the idea that every ending is a new beginning, encouraging us to embrace change with an open heart.


The Protector of the Realm


The third crow stands for protection and guidance. In Norse mythology, Odin, the Allfather, is accompanied by two ravens, Huginn and Muninn, who fly around the world and bring back information. While technically ravens, the symbolic connection to crows remains firm in their role as protectors and wise guides. This crow represents the strength and watchfulness needed to guard what is dear to us.


The Oracle of Destiny


The fourth crow is the Oracle of Destiny. In various mythologies, crows are seen as omens or prophets. The Greeks believed crows could foresee the future, and in many stories, they are depicted as messengers of the gods. This crow on your t-shirt symbolizes the mysterious forces that shape our fate, urging us to listen to the signs and trust our intuition.

Lady with the Fish.

 Inspired by an artwork at the Municipal Art Gallery in Brighton, my original drawing is a unique interpretation of William Scott's 'Girl and the Birdcage' from Feb 1948.  It captures the essence of the period with its soft pastel colours and a sense of stillness. I like the drawing I made. I played around with a few versions until I came up with the idea of a digital Lino-cut print.  This print is digitally printed onto Hahnemühle German Etching paper and a limited edition of 25 per size 300mm x 300mm and 500mm x 500mm.

Drawing the Amulet: From Ancient Stone to Modern Ink

  By Simon Burdge Sketched at the British Museum, this drawing explores the symbolic power of ancient objects and the modern meanings we bring to them. During a recent visit to the British Museum, I was stopped in my tracks by a small carved figure made of amethyst. Its shape felt ambiguous—was it a figure gripping a sword, or simply someone folding their hands in stillness? I was drawn to that uncertainty and began sketching on the spot. Later, while revisiting the sketch, it reminded me of an amulet—an object designed not just to be looked at, but to be held close, trusted, and carried—a kind of spiritual tool. In the drawing, I used layers of blue and black ink, with energetic crosshatch marks and long brushstrokes to evoke a kind of atmosphere—a hard, ancient sky pressing down, or perhaps a protective energy pushing outward. The figure became less about the details and more about presence—a guardian, of sorts. Then and Now: The Amulet's Role In ancient times, amulets were often...
