I'm giving a virtual presentation on 70s sci-fi art history and you're all invited! It's this Tuesday — August 8, at 3 pm PST / 6 pm EST.

Give Third Place Books your email address here and they'll send a zoom link.

I'll be covering a lot of art and facts that didn't make it into my book, too! Like this John Schoenherr homage in the 2021 Dune movie. Plus I'll chat with my friend @vandroid-helsing. It'll be a good time! Sign up here!

ANDREW S. CONKLIN, 1993 - Manhattan Rehearsal / oil onlinen, 121.92 × 182.88 cm [Rus: Манхэттенская репетиция ]

Caravaggio, Rest on the Flight into Egypt

[oldpainting]

Lawrence Alma-Tadema, The Roses of Heliogabalus (detail)

The painting measures 132.7 × 214.4 cm. It shows a group of Roman diners at a banquet, being swamped by drifts of pink rose petals falling from a false ceiling above. The Roman emperor Elagabalus reclines on a platform behind them, wearing a golden robe and a tiara, watching the spectacle with other garlanded guests. A woman plays the double pipes beside a marble pillar in the background, wearing the leopard skin of a maenad, with a bronze statue of Dionysus, based on the Ludovisi Dionysus, in front of a view of distant hills.

The painting depicts a (probably invented) episode in the life of the Roman emperor Elagabalus, also known as Heliogabalus, (204–222), taken from the Augustan History. Although the Latin refers to "violets and other flowers", Alma-Tadema depicts Elagabalus smothering his unsuspecting guests with rose petals released from a false ceiling.

You can survive almost anything through the right combination of:

Bitching and moaning

Hater-ology

Doing a goofy little bit about it

Having a buddy say "that's so fucked up" at intermittent points (you can also be your own buddy)

Destroying the cursed amulet you carry everywhere, why do you even have that thing

Just a little drawing…

It's actually more, believe it or not!

Without their everlasting love and union, no García-Truscott child would ever be born into this world. If you love or hate any of the children, you have these two to thank.

Some info below: Yes, Felix (🇩🇪+🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸) is an MTA operator, he also drives three commuter rail cabs through the Green Line. He serves the mainline, meaning he goes from Lechmere Square to Kenmore Square (termination process longer thanks to the GLX) Isaura… (🇬🇷+🇪🇸) you might notice something oddly familiar with her look… yeah, I'm coming clean with this. Although "physically" and I mean statuesquely, she might not really much resemble this character… but, she's actually a noticable homage, tribute in style and attire to Ms. Sasaki {佐々木母} (fmr Mrs. Oki, no first name revealed to my knowledge) from Kodomo no Omocha (animanga)

Also, another inspiration notice… Felix somewhat partially (based on stature and authentically) takes on from Gilbert Beilschmidt [Hetalia: Axis Powers]

Also, by the way, I'm going to reveal this here… there are INDEED five García-Truscott babies. You heard that right, five. Here are each of them with birth dates… Manuel (Peter) García-Truscott: June 11, 2004 Serena Eusebia García-Truscott: September 4, 2006 Theodore Mardochai García-Truscott: April 20, 2008 Óscar Samuel García-Truscott: July 19, 2010 Cynthia Maria García-Truscott: March 4, 2013
