K Louise Judd


The art of the said lady can be seen here. Well, I like it.

Proceedings Of The Athanasius Kircher Society

Morpheus?

Listening to Mr Fagen's latest platter (on DVD-A) and reading this. It's not just me who needs to get out more.

Pirates


We Pastafarians know that it's the lack of pirates that is causing global warming. We need more pirates if we are to solve this problem, so you'll find this a useful resource.

The Waste Land

Here are links to sites about The Waste Land - (and here too).
And, if tarot imagery floats your boat, have a look at Gorey's cards.

It's all good


I like the paintings of Chet Zar - what do you think?

Please have a look around his site - don't let the flashy interface put you off.

Bosch

Now this is interesting. All about JHeronimus (sic) Bosch. Don't miss the 'make your own Bosch painting' in the Links and Games area (it helps if you read Dutch).

Die Kunst, Recht zu behalten

Never really took to Arthur - and perhaps this may be the reason why.
You may find this useful, however. It's the Art Of Controversy.

Old books?

Ah, happy days.
Talking of which, who likes old books?
Well, so does this chap and here's the proof.
(And my socks are black, of course).

Jag känner mig sömnig, en kort ögonblicks vila skulle göra mig gott.

... and there, beside the daric, was an old photo of an old friend of mine. I'd forgotten all about it, so here it is for you to enjoy. (And yes,as you ask, I did. We met in Mexico - he had a thing for the flame-haired temptress so I threated him with Norma, which soon put paid to matters.)

These days

I have been in a brown study of late, and musing too on the last words of Norman Douglas and their relevance to my own life. Only the other day I was searching behind the diorama of Mont St Michel for a daric I had dropped and which had rolled there, when I remembered Billy Sidis. It all made sense, suddenly. You do see, don't you?
