The MaM is a series of zines that take the very original myths from the depths of stone tablets and cave-wall drawings, translated onto sheets of paper and then edits them down to their bare bones. Turns out, mythology was never quite as serious as most folks deemed it to be, but the stories ancients told were quite a riot and were once told, not only to tie folks to a religion but to entertain, to boast, to tell stories.
We get down to the truth of the mythology: that Gods are often (if not entirely) more ridiculous than mortals.

the project
THE MYTH ABOUT MYTHS was a bit of a dream. I was hoping to expand the series past GREEK into ROMAN, NORSE and EGYPTIAN to kind of cover all my main bases & maybe HELLENIC & BABYLONIAN… but the first tome was such a beast and occupied a LOT of my artistic stamina which I wanted to divert to more personal projects. I’m always toying with the idea of returning some day but. We’ll see. For now I’m calling it completed and happy with the outcome.
