Being that many other more pressing matters lay at hand in the past, I didn't have much chance or motivation to take pictures of an in-progress Munny. I decided upon the Owl-design, as you can see above. Some of the symbols I wish to add are yet to be added, or have only been touched upon, but include:-A single strand of silver hair, of which I have many more at the moment...-Mariachi pants: I

So I've been wanting to paint my Munny for awhile. After some technical difficulties*, I am finally devising a schematic of what it would look like (in my mind). Actually painting it will come later. I am currently thinking: which artists inspire me the most, currently? What simple, direct color scheme would I use?Some ExamplesMore Examples (LA Show)More Examples (Mini Contest)*Involving sticky

Ghouls'n Ghosts was one of the most influential games I ever played. It has even guided, in some ways, my aesthetic when it comes to the very modus of Paintery Itself.Here is a piece I wrote about this game, Hosted and Compiled by the venerable Mike Bevan and his Destroy all Monsters!.And I present, once again, Ghasts'N Ghouls. Of course, I have played with many other ideas...

How can one distinguish between a species and a mutant, if the representative creatures of both groups are long since dead or missing?

The title is a pun, an invented French compound of L'Académie (The Academy) and the suffix -mane (Maniac). The English translates as, predictably, "The Academaniac"In France, L'Académie is also a vernacular shortening (coincidentally) for L'Académie Francaise, the body of minds considered to have compiled and officiated over what is "appropriate" in the language and grammar of the true

"I'll speak a prophecy ere I go: When priests are more in word than matter;When brewers mar their malt with water; When nobles are their tailor's tutors; No heretics burn'd, but wenches' suitors; When every case in law is right; No squire in debt, nor no poor knight; When slanders do not live in tongues; Nor cutpurses come not to throngs; When usurers tell their gold i' the field; And bawds and

A witnessed speculation of events which have transpired, based on first-hand experiences with said contraption, all true.It is an incredibly small object; a white, capsule-shaped wand that fits into the palm of the hand, capable of wondrous, beautiful and (for some, perhaps) horrible things. A sigil on the face of the wand controls the magic from mortal flesh to its false ivory internal workings.

An empty or vacuous statement composed of simpler statements in a fashion that makes it logically true whether the simpler statements are factually true or false; for example, the statement "Either it will rain tomorrow or it will not rain tomorrow

Or, A noteworthy blip in the (admittedly short) History of Modern Medicine.~~~~~Originators:1st Asklepios (mythical), Then Hippocrates (He of the Oath)and Then Galen.~~~~~~Disorders of the body were once symbolised by body type (physiognomy), color, and miscellaneous paradigms of attitude...these are the four archetypes which had evolved little over the course of centuries.

This painting is based on a small homonculous I made by accident in my early youth. Homonculous: "A device contrived to represent a living being, usually a person. Used most often in reference to the apocryphal world of the Al Kimical Arts (That is, the arts of Al-Khim, the foreigner's name for ancient Egypt). Also, a simulacra of a human being seen in the animal or plant kingdom."~Paraphrased

To follow (somewhat) the theme of an antecedent article (That is, the one regarding a brief explanation of the painting whose approximate abbreviations are "G.F.S.: (being an account of)J.K.L.F.B.T.A."),I will continue the series by making mention of a previous painting that had been completed when I was trying to find, coincidentally, a theme for what type of art on which I would like to

Interesting, perhaps, to those who would find interest in such things, that both Cervantes and Shakespeare died on the same date, but not the actual day proper:Whereas the Gregorian calendar was in use by the Spanish (a.k.a. Those with An Invincible Armada), The English in their infinite wisdom had still persisted in the Julian calendar.Thus, such it is that if, in fact there had been no

The preceding is a monochromatic reproduction of an image, painted by the author upon stretched, mass-produced canvas utilising equally mass-produced linseed-oil-pigment medium. The image proper is and was inspired by the combination of the myth and the man. If one were to read Mr. Kane's biography (mentioned previously), one could perhaps put together clues that bind the portrait with some

After many years of wondering who the above quoted individual was; and if, in fact, Mr. Kane even existed* I have seen a vindication of sorts, a "small victory" if you will, thanks being oblidged to an article-biography regarding the real tangible man now known as John Kane. *There has been, for quite some time, a misunderstanding with regard to his contribution to the realm of reality, one

During the Crusades, Odo of Bayeux, a cleric, preferred the use of blunt objects so as to avoid the dreaded blood-letting. And This, from Asimov's Book of Facts: "The Fourth Lateran council, in 1215, forbade clerics in holy orders to include surgery in their practice of medicine so they would not spill blood. Surgery was left to men who were neither scholars nor gentlemen. A distinction grew
