New EP out now on Youtube and title track here on Newgrounds (other songs to follow):
My new EP, Swans of Urð! Includes three different versions of the title track, and two versions of a B-side, Spooner Looner. The EP and song's title comes from the Norse stories. Urð is one of the Three Norns who inhabit the world tree Yggdrasil, three women deities involved with destiny/fate (relating to past/present/future or could also be a parallel to maiden/mother/crone) Urð represents past, and there's a well/pool there where two swans swim and where all other swans are descended from.
The cover art is my drawing of Urð and the two swans, and she's weaving rune shaped constellations and throwing them upwards towards the heavens. I've been really inspired by the Icelandic artwork from 18th century manuscripts of The Prose Edda with my cover artwork lately.
Also, if you're interested, I also wrote a blog post recently about a classic Italian Futurist painting, Giacomo Balla's Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash. An art style I find very underrated by many, yet probably an influence on many cartoonists: https://kjordsfjord.blogspot.com/2025/03/art-history-inspiration-giacomo-balla.html
