Charles DeLint Photo Album

Inspired by Greenmantle

DeLint's book, "Greenmantle" inspired me first to do a series of costumes at Burning Man. Each night I portrayed a different cultural version of the Green Man. Then I decided to have all the green spirits worked into one tattooed tapestry. We have spent roughly 11 full days on it so far, and probably have another six or seven to go. The cast of characters includes Green Man ("Green Heart"), Treebeard ("Green Wisdom"), The Darkling Thrush ("Hope"), Cernunnos/Herne the Hunter ("Green Action"), Pan (joy and shenanigans), and Swamp Thing ("Sense of Place, Protector"). Since Cernunnos represents both hunter and hunted, we also added in a cameo appearance by Artemis/Dianna, Greek Goddess of nature. Treebeard will eventually run all the way down my left arm, with my fingers as the roots. The scene with Herne and Artemis is supposed to be dark/at night, but will eventually have some color highlights (magic, after all). The scene with Swamp Thing will be filled in with swampy details: fragrant water lilies, a line of mossy trees behind, perhaps even an old gator peeking his eyes and snout above the water. We will also color and fill in the scene around Pan dancing on my ribs (so he will dance every time I laugh) amid wild grapes and spider lilies. Tattoo by the one and only Little Bryan (Bryan Childs) at Spidermonkey Tattoos in Olympia, WA: www.spidermonkeytattoos.com/
