Can you share what it is about the Priapus myth that inspired your drawing? I loved the drawing but as is the case with so many Greek/Roman myths, it's a curious, somewhat disturbing story.
I made it after visiting some pigs in a barn. One of them was taking an especially luxurious nap, while also being bitten by dozens of flies that were buzzing around her. The scene reminded me of the myth of Hestia, so I snapped a picture with my phone and turned it into a drawing!

Well, it's a great drawing and I enjoyed reading your write-up. Those Greek gods were a tortured bunch though.
