I'll be a vendor and panelist at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon October 2-4th! My table will be in middle of the upstairs lobby with a large selection of original woodcut art as well as reproductions, cards, bookmarks, and other weirdness! #art #woodcut #hplff

A hand-colored woodcut print reproduced on maple wood veneer. The art resembles 16th century woodcut illustration, but depicts Cthulhu, a character created by H.P. Lovecraft. This hybrid humanoid sits cross-legged upon a black rock jutting out of the sea. One crab-like arm points to the stars, and the other down to a city emerging from the waves. It has dark batlike wings spread behind it. Above the figure are the latin words R'lyeh exsurgebit ubi astra parata sunt. .

A black ink woodcut print on cream colored paper. A simple black line frames a vertical rectangular scene of a blobby humanoid perched on a mound. It has no eyes and the mouth ends in tentacles. It plays a flute with stubby fingers. A black crescent moon is in the upper right and bog plants including a Sarracenia pitcher plant grow below its clawed feet.

A monstrous figure fills a black background. This woodcut print has been hand-colored in a rainbow of hues, from red at the top, to purple below. Depicted is a creature with a sharp tooth filled grimace, tentacle limbs, a long thin tail, and fins like wings containing numerous eyes.

A black woodcut reproduced on maple wood veneer. A simple black line encompasses a scene of a monstrous giant dancing inside a ring of black stones. The giant holds a key in one hand and gestures to a doorway in the cloud with the other. It has a scaled chest, tentacled hips with two crude eyes, furry legs, and sauropod feet. Two tiny humans gesture in the corners near bonfires, and birds fill the sky.

I was being haha funny about this but All's Fair is performing better than any game I've ever made (by a large margin, and because I'm aggressively advertising it off itch) and the fact that it will never be shown to people BY itch is making me mad.

Lola Álvarez Bravo maintained friendships with a community of artists, including Frida Kahlo. 🎨 Kahlo and Álvarez Bravo shared a particularly close relationship, perhaps because of their turbulent marriages and limited female role models in their respective fields.

Full-length portrait of Frida Kahlo looking in a mirror. Kahlo wears a black lace high-neck dress, beaded earrings, and her hair tied up in a braided crown. Two dogs roam around at her feet.

In other words, these are existing forms that you engage with and use, but this is not an act of plagiarism or repetition. Instead, through iteration (repetition) and variation, these 'strong forms' 'accumulate connotations' across the genre. They become richer, more complex.

“Dillard only became a nature writer because critics didn’t know what else to call this itinerant theologian, seeking shrapnel of the Absolute in the last wild pockets of a wasteland she dared not name.” Online now: Grace Glass eulogizes Annie Dillard

The Freedom of the Weasel | Grace Glass

Her great themes were timeless, the stuff of the ancients’ ancients: perception, eternity, travel, the problem of evil. She repudiated Aristotle, denied the primordial split between myth and natural philosophy: Anything could, and would, be likened to everything, in the service of the sentence.

"I never liked their stuff in the first place" when said of people outed as shitheads, is self-soothing. What the person is actually saying is "therefore the stuff I like must be made by good people" It's them, comforting themselves that their faves are not also monsters.

The people talking about the dignity of being, say, a welder, have never welded anything. And as far as “the pay is actually good” arguments go, the starting pay is good. The pay a few years in is good. But there’s a ceiling and it hits at about the same time the physical toll of the job does

The final line which is basically "oh there are tax breaks available? Let's talk about who should be getting them" is so beautifully done. Read to the end. Also, remember that politicians inevitably fuck up but how they respond to feedback is what makes for healthy/unhealthy relationships.
