In November while in upstate New York, we took a small afternoon trip to Saratoga Springs, a small, relatively affluent college town near where @seanbala grew up. We made two stops. One was Lyrical Ballad Bookstore. It was an amazing warren of shelves and lots of old books, maps, newspapers, and pictures. Funny thing is that even though he grew up here, this was Sean's first time going!
@seanbala@bookstodon Afterwards, we went to Uncommon Ground, a local coffee shop that makes its own bagels and roasts its own coffee. We got one of the best mochas we've had in a long time and a bagel with some schmear. Worth checking out if you ever visit!
@seanbala read a book while @dohappybelove did some painting. A good afternoon that we needed at that moment.
For the #ArtAdventCalendar, a print I made for #FolktaleWeek23 Sea prompt. It’s a linocut of one of my favourite mythological creatures: the Zaratan, here in my print a giant sea turtle disguised as an island. There’s a small campfire on the supposed beach, and a sailing ship from the age of exploration nearby.
“There is a story that is told in all lands and throughout all history -
Joseph Fructus, dit Fructus-Rey, est un peintre et dessinateur français (1744-1831) obsédé par son #art. Sous son autoportrait, il déclare :
"Toujours a dessiné je passerois ma vie,
mon amour pour cet art tend presque à la follie".
Les #ArchivesDeLyon conservent 2 albums de vues des environs de #Lyon en 1820 et 1825, qui offrent des paysages inédits à la perspective... fuyante !

Some #murals outside the #ISRO#museum or Vikram Sarabhai #Space Exhibition Center. More than the space stuff, enjoyed the #mural(s) painted on the walls.
Prime Numbers: The Most Mysterious Figures in Math
A fascinating journey into the mind-bending world of prime numbers.
Mathematicians have been asking questions about prime numbers for more than twenty-five centuries, and every answer seems to generate a new rash of questions.
It's a day.
I'm in a dark mood but it will pass.
It's a good time to share this art, lol.
This was pure COVID art, made at the beginning when we knew next to nothing & I needed a place to put all my... Everything.
I wasn't concerned with how it looked or how perfect it was, and for me it remains a perfect snapshot of a moment in time- anxiety, angst, & anger trapped on a page.
Old art! Putting these two together since they're "companions" to each other, having been experiments in coloring and inking. Magnus and Max in the left, Magnus and Astemar in the right :meru_luv:
