… is the biggest, most epically-scaled, aimed-to-inspire-generations-to-come fictional art project I have ever embarked on — and it became an odyssey for myself, just as much as it is for my protagonist Daedalus.

This is not an exaggeration.

But merely a self-observational reflection, lending me the insight that my endeavor has grown so greatly in terms of proportions — and effort that needs to be put into the craft — that I sometimes ask myself if I’m crazy to have even started it.

But before any doubts can grab hold of me — not in a million lifetimes will I let them intrude and permeate into the space of my very essence — I quickly snap back into the state of passion, dedication, and profound, incomparable love for the art that I pursue.

Sidenote: You can purchase the Daedalus artwork as an A3 poster on my Etsy-Store or if you want to support me and my vision for Chronicles of a Myth in a more direct way, you can do so by heading over to my Ko-Fi account. All the support is greatly — infinitely — appreciated! (:

CHRONICLES OF A MYTH consists of multiple alleys:

1. A book — an epic mythological fantasy-novel
