As one who has spent loads of time in Galway - trust me, you do not want to be running in the rain away from zombies there. Those streets are wet, slick and TINY! Did I mention it's always raining? Although, perhaps the zombies would just start piling up in the river😱 Anyways, go buy Iseult's book!

I love this thread, and can't resist adding a fuller discussion of the sculptures from Tiberius's grotto at Sperlonga, one of which appears near the end. Large sculptures of scenes from the Trojan Cycle were set up in the shadows of a cave. A dining platform appeared just beyond the cave, but (1/)

Picture from inside the cave/grotto of Tiberius, looking out/ The dining platform can be seen.

Everyone's comparing Nolan's Odyssey to Homer, but I think there's much more richness The ancient Greeks adapted the Odyssey into ART While these images might appear static to us, I want to walk through how an ancient Greek saw art: AS DYNAMIC STORYTELLING like our films 1/13

Because it apparently needs to be said: I have never fucking used the AI/LLM/chatbot/plagiarism machine and I never fucking will. If you use it, I think you're a bad person.

Most Pompeiians lived in multi-story dwellings without kitchens and got their food at thermopolia, essentially taverns with ready-made food and wine. There is a fine fresco and colored plaster lararium - shrine - above the counter at the thermopolium of Lucius Vetutius Placidus.🏺 1/ 📸 me

This beautifully painted lararium - household shrine - is found in the thermopolium of Lucius Vetutius Placidus. Since most Pompeiians lived in multi-story dwellings without kitchens, these hot food and drink establishments were critical, where citizens could purchase sustenance and consume it there, or take it home. This lararium depicts two Lares - protective spirits of the home (and business, it seems) - pouring wine from rhytons; a veiled Genius (protector of the home) in the middle, sacrificing to the gods and holding a cornucopia, symbol of abundance; the god of trade, Mercury, on the left, holding his caduceus and a bag of coins, which would bring success and abundance to the business; and finally the god Dionysus on the right, also a symbol of abundance in this establishment which served wine. Notably, stucco is used to create the small shrine, which is in the shape of a temple, including two Corinthian columns and a pediment. Stucco acanthus vines and volutes appear above the temple, and two painted agatha daemons (which appear as crested snakes) are facing a large egg on an altar, below. A 3 kg (6.6 lb) hoard of coins was found in one of the terracotta jars set into the counter, probably the last daily profits of the establishment. House and thermopolium of Vetutius Placidus, Pompeii (I, 8.8)

midnight dip pen and gouache sesh on very inadequate sketch paper. It was practice though for a thick rendering method. Unspecific Pterosaur, taking some inspo from an existing skull and a cassowary headcrest. #paleoart
