The Island of Dr. Moreau is also very Tempest-y. I don't have a link for it, but I've always had a soft spot for the 1996 version. Completely weird, late 90s bleak insanity with a completely insane production. Not even sure how it got made, actually. It's like The Tempest twice.

Forbidden Planet is on The Internet Archive: archive.org/details/forb...

So is Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury!

Here's a very beautiful and absurd Mark Rylance if that helps. Omg I love this movie I forgot so much of it.

Prospero's Books is a 1991 British avant-garde film adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Tempest, written and directed by Peter Greenaway. Sir John Gielgud plays Prospero, the protagonist who provi... Prospero's Books - John Gielgud - Mark Rylance - Michael Clark - Subtitles - 1991 - Restored 4K

Just out of curiosity I looked to see if Prospero's Books was online anywhere, and it is! If you like odd adaptations like Julie Taymor's Titus or Derek Jarman's Edward II, you might like this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgBT...

The Tempest is my baby, largely thanks to having seen Prospero's Books when I was a teenager. Macbeth probably second.

LOL real

Pekes! When I was a kid, I 100% thought Munkustrap was saying pigs, so until I actually read the poem (or maybe read the lyrics, I don't remember which came first) I thought "pigs" was cat slang for dogs. Like cops.

What are they called? Pollicle dogs. Jellicle cats and pollicle dogs. Something like that. It's been a long time since I read the poem.

The fact that Andrew Lloyd Webber got a therapy dog after he saw the Cats movie is so fucking funny.

Digital painting of a sunset sky: a pink and orange veil is covering most of it, with a couple of rows of long, thin, purple clouds in the lower quarter of the frame.

We report at the end of a strange, warm, sunny day. We spent it attempting to reconcile our idea of an early March day with the lukewarm wind we felt on our face. As the sun is setting, the crisp humidity is swallowing half of the thermometer in one fell swoop.

I say this with all the asexuality of the universe behind me, but that is such a heap of pretty boobies ahaha. The conflicting horror and beauty here is so so good 💛

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

I don't know who Mikhail is. I would kiss that one though.

QRP with the sketch vs final

He's a rescue pigeon, and he was there as an art model, if that makes it better.

Please enjoy pics of my niece holding a pigeon named Homer.

Planetary astrophysicist by day, space artist by night. The year is 2022 & my PhD research inspires me to create a giant multi-spectral Jupiter painting. Oh shit, did I just invent my own style? I decide to leave academia & take a chance on my art.

Lol 💛 I think most people would find this a very annoying thing about me but thank you. It's always from a place of trying to help, at least.

Hey I know it's trendy right now to face your books out on the shelf to show off the covers, but books are not designed for this. Books are designed to be pressed against other books. If you set them face-out they'll warp, and you'll destroy the binding. Friendly tip to save your books.

My brain every time the weather forecast talks about bombogenesis:

My favorite part of Ramadan is the videos of cats at 3-4 am, flabbergasted that their humans are up and eating 😆

Yeah that was the greatest pun of my childhood.

Not sure I could trust people who didn't like Bunnicula.

a hazy, more direct view of the same bridge

I was watching a travel video, and for a quick second in the video, I spied a beautiful cable-stayed bridge, and I spent the next ten minutes identifying it. It's the SkyBridge, a cable-stayed railroad bridge in Vancouver. Look at this beautiful bridge:

A watercolor painting of a satyr embracing a young man from behind, gently peeling apart the man's flesh on his chest. Birds emerge from the opening in the man's chest. The man reaches one hand to back to caress the satyr's face, the other presses the satyr's hand to his chest. There's some circular celtic knotwork designs on the borders. The overall colors are warm golds and browns.

Finally finished this up! It's done in watercolor, gouache, and color pencils. I know I should try to render it in more detail but I'm not sure I want to. I like the texture being able to be textures. Maybe that will change in the future. For now, though, I like it 😅

"What if someone doesn't like what I made?"

Ok but what if someone likes it.

Oh good golly it's still online! She started this waaaaay back in the 90s. I see a 2014 how cool www.ninakatchadourian.com/languagetran...

Does anyone else remember Nina Katchadourian's found poetry project where she photographed books to make poems.
