I have found the same thing myself. I like the Misty Mawn book.

And it's interesting why... I Like Misty Mawn's works most, their mood and clear line. I'm not sure, but I think that Bulgarian iconography is very close to the Russian one. I like to go to church and watch the icons. In the different churches - different icons, drawn by artists with different ways of expressions and styles. I'll try to find some interesting links.rossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-90440296267906399852010-12-06T20:45:38.420-08:002010-12-06T20:45:38.420-08:00very life affirming-- and timeless.very life affirming-- and timeless.layershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10991288165260934778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-59431727847084357602010-12-06T18:27:17.387-08:002010-12-06T18:27:17.387-08:00Grrl, the cover of Misty's book caught my atte...Grrl, the cover of Misty's book caught my attention to0.

I have always been drawn to eyes, "eyecons" and using words scratched into medium.......... especially after my mother died last year. <br /><br />After spending the weekend with Lynne and being inspired by what we saw at the museum, I have been trying to make the time to hunt down some modern icon "writers". Thanks for doing all of the research you do. I am busy working on one for my self portrait for Seth.
