I will hire someone to help me cook wonderful vegan food from Vegan Yack Attack’s blog. It all looks so delicious. Favorite blog. Hands down.
I recently just got my 1st tattoo and I wanted it to be something that meant alot to me. I’m a HUGE Disney fanatic and I adore Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I happened to buy a pin when I was in Disneyland that was a 1920-30’s original Mickey and Minnie. I knew for a year that I really wanted to get it as my 1st tattoo. My whole entire family is covered in tattoo’s theres not 1 person in my family doesnt have a tattoo, Iv always had an obsession with them. I mean seriously its one of the most beautiful ways to express yourself. I’m from a sorta small town called Yuma and I got my tattoo done at X-Treme Ink Tattoo by Mikey Odell. He had a soft hand and does it fast and very well. Im friends with the owner, and almost all my familys gone there. I was so nervous about how painful it would be, and then he started to outline and it felt amazing. I actually enjoyed getting my tattoo and had a great time. My mom had actually got excited that I was getting mine that she decided to get one at the same time. It was a great experience and I plan to get many more.
Histoire de l’illustration naturaliste - History of naturalist illustration
I recently picked up a copy of this book at the excellent ‘Librairies Bedi Thomas‘
It is in French so it’s taking me a while to decipher it but it seems to be an excellent summary of the history of biological illustration (it also covers photography an film making) something that I don’t think exists in English. It would be nice if there was an English translation.
Here is the Google translation of the publishers description:
“More than one window of the living world, naturalistic images offer us a mirror on ourselves and on our interest in nature. The story of naturalist illustration begins in the Renaissance, when artists and scientists are dedicated to the production of images of animals and plants. Therefore, naturalistic illustrations will allow generations to discover the living world.
Valerie Chansigaud traces a rich history and discover the unexpected accuracy of the first books of botany of the Renaissance, the difficult return on illustrated books, the lives of great illustrators (Redouté, Audubon, Wolf, Fuertes), the creation of images reference times of fabricated structures (such as Durer rhinoceros), the emergence of field guides (including the famous Peterson), the revolution of photography and film (the brothers Kearton to Attenborough via Cousteau), the influence of a more global perception of the environment (Humboldt, Wallace, Darwin, Brehm …)”
The Author Valerie Chansigaud has a website with a section about the book, some nice galleries and a useful bibliography.
There’s also a video about the book:
Legend of zelda’s triforce, and the three goddesses that created it. I have been obsessed with the Zelda series since I was a little girl.
