This is Theo the Worst Spartan. I made a few years back and propped him in front of Poseidon's Fury prior to closing. I miss that ride.

Here is a set of bigger sized resin Hoplites I dub, "Hoplings". A 3 year long project I hope to return to soon. I miss my "Greek myth flow", it was when I was happier. Now I will make smaller ones.

So I occasionally make these lil'guys. They're like tiny, blanketed hoplites. They're mostly inspired but older depictions of hoplites wearing a cloaks
I'm thinking of making them into little "art drops" in the near future.

So huge question. Do you all want me to slow drip my art from my other medias or just start posting my new stuff? It's a bit of work to do but I just want some input.

Literally been here since Zeus first split humans into bipeds, or Prometheus fashioned us from clay:
![DIONYSUS IN THE FABLES OF AESOP
Aesop, Fables 517 (from Phaedrus 4. 16) (trans. Gibbs) (Greek fable C6th B.C.) :
"Someone asked Aesop why lesbians and effeminates [or gay men] had been created, and old Aesop explained, ‘The answer lies once again with Prometheus, the original creator of our common clay. All day long, Prometheus had been separately shaping those natural members which modesty conceals beneath our clothes, and when he was about to apply these private parts to the appropriate bodies Liber [Dionysos] unexpectedly invited him to dinner. Prometheus came home late, unsteady on his feet and with a good deal of heavenly nectar flowing through his veins. With his wits half asleep in a drunken haze he stuck the female genitalia on male bodies and male members on the ladies. This is why modern lust revels in perverted pleasures.’"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gl4hokek4s6dpdn5yyly32a5/bafkreiha6j73raul6qdvahy7qny4zk7dhskmm3uuglmaelubpiqrjgdcpm@jpeg)

Ladies and gentlemen, as of 10:43 p.m. East Central time, tiktok is officially dead.
However I'm having a feeling we should have deleted our accounts beforehand. Something's not right about this.

Considering the recent tiktok ban, there needs to be a consensus on how dangerous things are going to get from now on. As a society, we need access to information and we must stay strong.... we're entering into dark and dangerous waters....

Well it's not exactly that, it's more like how are we supposed to have a community in the modern world if we're not allowed to be on social media?
They are trying to shut us out of society, and shut down our organizing.

I would like to take every single cybertruck, remove the stainless steel casing, reforge and cut them up into small pieces to make armor for a moose and several leopards. So I lay siege upon Musk himself.
