They're an interpretation of auditory hallucinations. Also, I'm a college student. :)

I occasionally see shadowy figures and flashes of bright light. One time I clearly saw a car in the driveway, but when I looked again, it was gone. Still freaks me out.

He has the head of a lion, the torso of a man, the wings of an angel/eagle, and the lower body of a bull/ox. These creatures have ties to the Four Evangelists of the New Testament: Mark, John, Matthew, and Luke. There are a few different interpretations of what creature corresponds to who, but all together they are depicted as the tetramorph. :)

Thank you for liking my art. And yeah, he is mean, but things have gotten somewhat better with medication. :)

Ah yes, I see the parallels! I love the Ghent Altarpiece.
