Artist's Comments

i can't say i know for sure what's going on here, i suppose maybe a group of travelling porcupines met a dying martyr and one especially inquisitive porcupine is wondering whether Saint Sebastian may be one of their kind, or maybe Saint Sebastian went for the martyrdom in order to resemble a porcupine and become a part of porcupines' society :meditation:
i just couldn't help but draw my own vision of Saint Sebastian's death:)

dedicated to and inspired by my dear friend Sebastian (:yum:nomen omen) :iconcharonferryman:

Niesamowite. Mocne aż do bólu, ale piękne. Imponujące.

or...or...the porcupines were quite happy worhipping their porcupine gods & along comes St. Sebastion saying no no no sin sin sin if you want to go to heaven you have to worship the god I worship. The porcupines thought otherwise, but it wouldn't look good if Sebastion (he wasn't a saint yet) died by porcupine, so the story was altered (though he was still skewered) and a martyr & a saint was born.

or

"Dad?"

that's brilliant ... St. Francis of the Porcupines.
you always offer something to think about ... a wry twist.
:hug: thoughtful work well executed, Basia.

Artists are magical helpers. Evoking symbols and motifs that connect us to our deeper selves, they can help us along the heroic journey of our own lives.

Ha. This is a great concept. I really like the scratchy way you did the porcupine quills too.
