Marbled Monday

This Marbled Monday we’ve got a real stunner for you—the marbled covers and end sheets of an 8 volume set of The Spectator, which was (according to Wikipedia) “a daily publication founded by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele in England, lasting from 1711 to 1712. Each ‘paper,’ or ‘number,’ was approximately 2,500 words long, and the original run consisted of 555 numbers, beginning on 1 March 1711. These were collected into seven volumes. The paper was revived without the involvement of Steele in 1714, appearing thrice weekly for six months, and these papers when collected formed the eighth volume.” This edition was published in 1856 in Boston by Little, Brown, & Co. 

Each volume features a half binding in tan leather and marbled paper. The same marbled paper was also used at the end sheets for each volume. The marbling is a Turkish pattern, with burnt umber, tan, bright blue, teal blue, and white. There is also a lovely flower detail stamped in gold on the spine of each volume.

🌻Seneschal Celebration🌻

"Prince of the plunder, the unrelenting warrior to his enemy; Heavy was he in his vengeance; Terrible was his fighting." (Pa Gur-Black Book of Carmarthen)

POV you're waiting for your kid brother to bring you back a sword, completely oblivious to either of your fates.

A doodle for @queer-ragnelle's May Day Parade! The more I think about Sir Kay/Cai, the more I like him; loyal to his baby brother, has cool powers, and can cook. What else can I say? Except maybe that I'd like to listen to a heavy metal album of his Welsh exploits.

Who sets their sights on you? 😳

It wouldn't be wise for anyone to set their sights on Bucky's girl, nonnie! But could be one (or more) of the following face claims...

Love and thanks! ❤️

Hello to all of my Queers and Dears, and welcome back to my Adam Writes an Essay series! Today, in celebration of the new season of My Adventures with Superman Season 2 Finale and the increasingly more detailed information we’ve been getting around James Gunn’s upcoming Superman feature film, we’re going to be digging into an essay I wrote a few years back comparing and contrasting the approaches the Christopher Reeve-led and Henry Cavill-led respective Superman origin films have to the Superman mythos.

I’m excited to adapt it into a video essay for you all!

'This is Lois Lane. She started talking at six months, could read and write by two and interviewed the president for her high school newspaper. It takes a special type of person to snare a Pulitzer at twenty three and charm an alien from the skies, but Lois Lane has a very simple secret…she never gives up.' - Action comics (1938)

All hail the queen of journalism!

 The “Iron Poet”,  Richard Serra 

(November 2, 1938 – March 26, 2024)

Renowned sculptor Richard Serra, known for his monumental steel structures that reshaped the landscape of contemporary art, passed away at the age of 85 at his residence in Orient, N.Y.

His groundbreaking works, characterized by massive tilting corridors and spirals of steel, offered viewers a unique experience, inviting them to navigate through and around the imposing forms to fully comprehend their essence.

Because of this invitation to explore space, materiality, and site, the artist has been long-recognized in the architectural community, earning him the Architectural League of New York President’s Medal in 2014, becoming the first artist to receive the honor.
