Michael/Lucifer is one of my earliest drawings, from nearly three years ago. It was released as an edition of just 15 small sized prints which were snapped up almost right away. Many people have asked me for him since, so for Midsummer, here's a new very limited MEDIUM sized edition of just 49 prints.

I've had a few queries into the naming of this one too, which remains somewhat a mystery to me, but this is what I know:

Twin forces of Archangel Michael and Lucifer came through this drawing, calling me into deeper exploration, that I’m still unfolding.

The name Lucifer became hijacked in some ways by the Christian church where it was conflated with the theological devil. Before that, Lucifer was the ‘light bringer’ or morning star, associated with the planet Venus and heralding the new dawn.

In Luciferianism, Lucifer is revered as a saviour, a guardian or instructing spirit or even the true god.

As one of the heavenly archangels, Michael may be posited ‘against’ Lucifer in Christian theology, and yet in this drawing I felt their forces combined as one, in a unified and complete whole.

There is something in this of both Michael AND Lucifer - that his true name exists somewhere in the unnameable tension between these two.

Or in this crux point of potent emergence from the deepest place, in the way that fruit thickens and drips its nectar, swollen by the turning point of midsummer.
