Darling moths of the bazaar — I’m stirring another sonic cauldron. This one’s called Hidden Kingdoms: ancient, secluded realms where time has gone for a long lie-down in the undergrowth, and the air still tastes of forgotten gold. Melodies that pry open the doors of bygone civilisations and let...

Asterix Archiv 🐗 @comedix.de · 20/09/2026

Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart

Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

This has been my major find this week. Really beautiful kind of nostalgic electronica. I guess. I'm rubbish at genres! Would recommend a click and a listen - s'lovely. Also, if you like it, do consider giving this a boost so it can reach others. traindeer.bandcamp.com/album/lenses...

This is rather wonderful. The music itself is fantastic, but coupled with the footage it gets some real emotion heft. Mark has always made beautiful atmospheric music, but his work with the kids of the PPYO is definitely worth a listen and a follow 🙂 Recommended.

Right. Morning arty-farty stuff done. Time to reroute some guttering and install a new water butt. More arty-farty stuff later! And I suppose I better rehearse for the gig as well…

A table full of art stuff. Gelli plate printing to be precise. You can see the latest pull sat on top of the Gelli plate, sat on top of a cutting mat. Various acrylic paints, a brayer (for rolling the paint onto the Gelli plate. a pile of previous pulls and the all important mug of black coffee.

A gelli plate pull. Turquoise and mint blotches on a black background. I think it looks better than the text description makes it sound!!
