Mythology

Greek mythology fascinated me when I was younger. I had a comic style book that went through most of the stories such as that of Hercules, Theseus and the Minotaur, and the story of Icarus who flew too close to the sun.

The characters in these stories always intrigued me, particulary the monster type characters such as Medusa, Hades and Cerberus, and of course, the mighty minotaur. Perhaps it was the fear of these characters that made them so alluring to me, like a strange sense of morbid curiousity. Characters such as these have always inspired me in my own design of characters and continue to be a source of inspiration for me.
