Mother of God - it glows! Found this when we were going through our parents things. Wonder where they got it 🤣 #WeekRForReligion #AlphabetChallenge #ECK #WackyWednesday

A little plastic statue that has someone kneeling, praying looking up at Mary. The person and Mary both glow in the dark.

Stunning Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) artwork on this drumkit. Made for Alejandro González of the band Maná, designed by John Douglas & Drum Workshop Inc #Stunday #ECK #MusicSky #Photography #NYCPhotography #TheMet #MetMusicalBodies

closeup of a skull that is on top of a cymbal. Drumkit for Alex González of Maná used during the 2023-2024 México Lindo y Querido tour was on loan to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. "Musical Bodies," June 7-September 27, 2026.
Artist: John Douglas
Manufacturer: Drum Workshop Inc. (American, born 1972)
Date: 2023
Medium: Maple and aluminum
Classification: Membranophone
The skulls and skeletons that pervade rock and pop culture both signal danger and rebellion and offer a vehicle for engaging with death in secular society. This drumkit, created for Alex González of the Latin rock band Maná, deepens the symbolism. Expressing the group’s Mexican heritage, it features the iconic skull imagery of Día de Muertos, a celebration that openly acknowledges death and its equalizing power. By painting and customizing this drum- kit and others for numerous rock groups, John Douglas joins an ancient global lineage of artists who have crafted anthropomorphic drums.

The entire kit features a vibrant teal or turquoise color scheme on the drum shells, adorned with detailed "Day of the Dead" (Día de los Muertos) artwork.
• Bass Drum: In the lower-left foreground sits a large bass drum. The front head features a large, stylized sugar skull wearing a traditional brown mariachi sombrero. Below the skull, a purple banner reads "MANÁ" in white block letters, with "Alex González" printed just above it in a smaller, red font. Red roses flank the bottom of the skull.
• Toms and Snare: Several smaller rack toms and a snare drum are positioned behind and above the bass drum, matching the teal color and skull motifs.
• Cymbals and Hardware: Numerous polished bronze cymbals of varying sizes are mounted on intricate, gleaming chrome stands. Notably, several of the cymbal wing nuts are shaped like small silver skulls.

Today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Spooky The Arcimboldo Series at the Seaport, NYC By Klaus Enrique Anthropomorphism & Pareidolia (see Alt text) #ColorADay #GreenSat #31DaysOfHalloween #Halloween #PaintByWords #ECK #Photography #NYCPhotography

a Stormtrooper helmet sculpture made from eggshells, centipedes, and a spider, created by artist Klaus Enrique. “While my art pays homage to a long tradition in art
history, it is mostly concerned with the exploration
of Anthropomorphism, the attribution of human
characteristics to living and non-living things, and
Pareidolia, the psychological phenomenon where we
perceive familiar patterns, especially faces, where
none exist.“

Yoda still-life sculpture made from organic plant materials (such as cabbage leaves and blueberries).

Today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Spooky Marsyas flayed alive after losing a musical contest to the god Apollo Artist: Balthasar Permoser ca. 1680–85 #ClassicMono #Monochrome #BnW #31DaysOfHalloween #Halloween #PaintByWords #ECK #Photography #NYCPhotography #TheMet

A black and white photo with a black background of the marble sculpture. Taken at the Metropolitan Museum of Art "Flayed alive after losing a musical contest to the god Apollo, the satyr Marsyas screams in the midst of his torture. Every aspect of the figure, from squinting eyes to torn tongue and flamelike hair, contributes to this image of torment. Early in his career, the sculptor Permoser worked in Florence, where this bust likely was carved. It is his personal response to Gianlorenzo Bernini's dramatic style, especially the Damned Soul of about 1619 (Palazzo di Spagna, Rome). While important sculptures by Pietro and Gianlorenzo Bernini are represented in the Museum's collection, Marsyas is our first work by Permoser, who helped to transmit the Italian Baroque style to Germany when he returned to his native Dresden."

"Defend rights for women and girls." Make it so. Sir Patrick Stewart 💔 1. my 2023 post 2. 2004 pic from internet 3. Screenshot from: jamesfell.substack.com/p/patrick-st... 4. cast at Picard Advance Screening #WeekQForQuotes #AlphabetChallenge #OnlyBeautifulThings #HumansOfBluesky #ECK #StarTrek

Sir Patrick Stewart stands with Whoopi who is clapping after she interviewed him about his book, Making It So. below is what I wrote that night: We laughed, we cried (well I cried, not sure about everyone else). Sir Patrick Stewart's book, Making It So, sounds like it will be deep and an emotional roller coaster. It took him 41 sessions to read it for #Audible - he said he kept redoing parts. Covid is the reason he finally wrote a book, he had time. Anytime I see him, I adore him more.

a photo from the internet of Sir Patrick Stewart holding a sign that says, Defend rights for women and girls, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

a screenshot of a nice article (link above) that says, "In 2013 Stewart was speaking at Comicpalooza in Texas when a woman in the audience thanked him for his activism; she then asked what it was he was most proud of that wasn’t related to acting. He said that it was getting more men to realize the role they have to play in ending domestic violence. “The people who could do most to improve the situation of so many women and children are in fact, men,” he said. “It’s in our hands.” Then holding back tears, he continued, “I do what I do in my mother’s name because I couldn’t help her then. Now I can.”

Stewart learned his father suffered from post-traumatic stress due to his wartime experiences, which he emphatically stated was not an excuse for his violent behavior, as “violence is never ever a choice that a man should make!” Since then, he has also become involved in a charity to support veterans suffering from PTSD.

The guy also fosters shelter dogs and helps them find their forever homes. If there is a more wonderful being in the galaxy than Patrick Stewart, I don’t know who it is.

NOTE: This piece was researched and written by a human, not some bullshit “ai” plagiarism software."

Amazing looking inside flowers. Have a beautiful day ❤️ #WeekLForLookingIn #AlphabetChallenge #ColorADay #RedWed #Macro #BloomScrolling #ECK #Photography #NaturePhotography #BrooklynBotanicGarden

A photograph that captures a single, vibrant tulip flower in full bloom, showcasing its intricate interior details.
Visual Elements
• Flower Structure: The tulip is open wide, featuring deep red petals with subtle dark streaks. The base of the interior transitions into a bright yellow center, creating a striking contrast.
• Reproductive Organs: Inside the flower's core, several dark, fuzzy anthers loaded with pollen surround a central, pale-colored stigma.
• Background & Foliage: The bloom is supported by a slender green stem, surrounded by smooth, broad green leaves that are slightly blurred, creating a soft depth-of-field effect that pulls focus to the flower.

a large, white hibiscus flower looking upward toward a bright blue sky. Key Visual Details The Bloom: The flower features broad, delicate white petals with a textured, paper-like appearance. At its core is a deep crimson center from which a prominent, pale yellow stamen cluster extends. The Framing: Large, vibrant green leaves frame the flower on the left, right, and top edges, partially shading the top portion of the bloom and creating a natural border. Lighting: Bright, direct sunlight illuminates the lower half of the translucent white petals from behind, making them glow against the crisp blue sky visible in the background.
