Cute comission for @shiroikabocha. Thank you so much for working with me!

And another one, because I'm obsessed, and because for some mysterious reason carving with shaking hands is way easier than drawing. Carved shell, moss and resin, sea glass and pearls for a necklace.

she is my favorite statue too!

[jsamn-20th-anniversary-readalong]

It has been an astonishing 20 YEARS since Susanna Clarke first published her debut novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell on 8th September 2004.

To celebrate, we have planned a Readalong for old fans, those who have had it on their TBR pile for a while and haven't managed to get round to it, and for those who maybe haven't even heard of it yet.

The Readalong will start off on 2nd September 2024, with discussions taking place on the official discord for the chapters being each week. We also have groups on StoryGraph and Goodreads for those who would like to keep track in those places, which will be linked to closer to September.

We have broken the book down into chunks of roughly 70 pages per week, in the hopes that this is a fairly gentle reading pace to fit into your lives, as the book is a bit of a beast.

Please follow this blog for more information as we keep you updated!

whenever my siblings and i are fortunate enough to visit a museum, we pick our favorite statues and do our best to replicate the poses because life's too short to not be silly

anyway, I think Piranesi would have great fun having a go at these as well :D

Giovanni Battista Piranesi was born in 1720, in Venice, though he spent much of his working life in Rome and its environs, and died there in 1778. His etchings, which tend to be of architectural or archaeological subjects, were some of the finest of his day and are still astounding today.

For our purposes, his series “Carceri d’invenzione,” or “Imaginary Prisons,” is probably the most important in terms of its influence on RPGs — these 16 prints depict impossible subterranean spaces, part jail, part labyrinth, full of strange machines, hanging chains and baffling architecture. You know, like a dungeon. I believe, in some way, these illustrations have been absorbed into a kind of collective unconscious when it comes to the idea of an RPG dungeon. And, in the D&D cosmology; I think it is no coincidence that the prison plane is called Carceri, even if it doesn’t look like something Piranesi dreamed up.

Piranesi’s other work isn’t without influence, though. He was obsessed with ruins and underground spaces, the cavernous remains of aqueducts and other more obscure places. Many of his aboveground views have exaggerated scales, or fanciful elements. It all looms. This Taschen published book is a collection of all Piranesi’s etchings and flipping through, I dare you to not have dozens of ideas for adventures. I didn’t choose Piranesi as incidental illustrations for the appendix of my book by accident, after all!

A second try, it finally turned out the intended way! A Piranesi-inspired miniature, carved shell, moss and resin. It will be a pendant for a long necklace, and daaaaamn I want to make like a thousand of these.
