Day 2: Echo
#folktaleweekecho
This is inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses. Echo, a talkative young nymph known for her voice, starts talking a little bit too much to the goddess Juno's hubby, Jupiter. Juno curses Echo by taking away her voice and only letting her repeat the last few words she hears...

Here is my ode to New England and the darkest of stories, Washington Irving's, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".
Introducing our hero, Ichabod Crane, (the noble and dorktastic school teacher) as he is chased through the darkness of night by the evil Headless Horseman.

I decided to illustrate "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank back in April and couldn't imagine then just how far backwards our country would be heading in just a few months...it's so horrific.
