naught but fire and starlight

Centaur Watching Fish by Arnold Böcklin (1878).

My own favorite paintings of centaurs in mundane situations include "The Centaur Playing with Her Child" by Otto Soltau and "A Centaur Playing with His Son" by Otto Bache

Dragonfly Comb

Lady of Orda Cave by Natalia Avseenko and Phototeam.PRO

Two-time world champion free diver Natalia Avseenko ventured deep into Ordynskaya Cave in Perm, Russia… one of the longest and biggest underwater gypsum caves in the world, dressed as the mythical Lady of the Cave, a spirit who protects divers inside the “natural cathedral”.

I’m starting to doubt that I’m ever gonna get around to FCG, so here’s a roundup of the Bells Hells in historical art styles alongside an illustrative example of the art style used.

From top to bottom-

Laudna in the style of 19th century gothic revival stained glass

Dorian Storm in the style of Yoshitaka Amano

Orym of the Air Ashari in the style of 16th century Mughal painting

Fearne Calloway in the style of Baroque portrait sculpture (for example Bernini)

Chetney Pock O’Pea in the style of Ivan Bilibin

Imogen Temult in the style of Nell Brinkley

Came across this art installation, Liza Lou's Kitchen, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC. It's a kitchen made of tiny glass beads, that artist Liza Lou did, taking 5 yrs. to complete, from 1991 - 1996.

My favorite part is the sink.

My handwriting is the same style as the teacher’s who I had when I was nine. I’m now twenty one and he’s been dead eight years but my i’s still curve the same way as his.

I watched the last season of a TV show recently but I started it with my friend in high school. We haven’t spoken in four years.

I make lentil soup through the recipe my gran gave me.

I curl my hair the way my best friend showed me.

I learned to love books because my father loved them first.
