Welcome to the fantasy world of the Western Astrological Zodiac Goddesses.
|
These interpretations feminize each of the Zodiac signs into a beautiful and confident; alluring and seductive; powerful and sexy female icon. A Zodiac Goddess. Each Goddess is presented in dangerous clothing and footwear with accessories which illustrate the aspects of each of their respective Astrological signs. All the artwork was originally hand-drawn as 24" X 55" (approx. 61 cm x 140 cm) posters on heavy-weight vellum. Now you can own your own replica of these exotic beauties in 3 different sizes on high-quality, heavy-weight, semi-matte photopaper. The large posters are the same size as the originals and can fit on most doors, if wall space is an issue.
Click on the thumbnails below to see the entire poster and learn about the artwork. Collect your sign or which ever is your favorite image. Let each one whisper something special about you.
Original sized, large posters are 55 x 24 inches (approx 140 cm x 61 cm).
Small posters are 24 x 11 inches (approx 61 cm x 28 cm).
About the creation of the original Zodiac Goddesses
Zodiac Goddesses came from some ideas I had been thinking about since 1997. I wanted to do my version of the western astrology signs, but did not want to do the same old images of Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces that we've all seen for the last 5000 years.
In studying art nouveau and allegorical imagery, I came up with the idea of making the signs as goddesses in the old allegorical tradition but with some modern twists and turns.
I researched a bit to learn and keep the basic associations with the astrology signs and their planets (Mars, Saturn, the Sun, etc.) by including the glyph of the planet matching the glyph of the astrology sign. I also wanted to include the flower that went with the astrology sign and something about the element (earth, air, fire or water).
All these things finally came together and I designed the basic framework for the series. It ended up taking about a year to complete the whole series which was started in January of 2001 and completed at the end of 2001.
Have a look around, check out your own sign as well as that of your friends. The posters make great gifts and the cards are perfect birthday cards, since it's your (or your friend's) astrology sign. Much better and more original than the usual stuff. Thanks for stopping by!
