Description
Nga Hamiton, Twinned DestiniesβSisters born of one womb
To paths
One fate
Sisters to the Earth
One crawls to the secrets buried
One tills the soils of life
Sisters to the Fire
One bathes in the light life
One forges the steel of strength
Sisters to the Waters
One swims the expanse of wisdom
One irrigates the heart
Sisters to the Wind
One follows the scents of the hunt
One lets fly songs of healing
Apart and one
Sisters born of one wombβ

Hi there!
You have fantastic art work!
I think it's also great to see you render / illustrate these characters from our myth and folklore.
What's your source material for these stories?
I do hope to see all these works compiled in a book!

Hi Budjette
Thank you for such kinds words. I have long been researching (books and fieldwork) on our myths for various ethnic groups, in fact that was my main concern when I was working in the research department of UP.
I am very happy that you have contacted me here on DA, and I was wondering if you would like to give a talk to my students in FEU about the local comics industry and how to hone their creative skills?

PS
Many people have been asking if I should ever publish a book on my artworks and writings, but I just can't find the time. Maybe next year
