Left Mantis and Right Mantis are linked projects by inlandwest and yours truly, and they will be available at the Altered Books auction in Bisbee on Saturday, August 26, 2023. Altered Books is an annual fundraiser for the Friends of the Copper Queen Library, and it is always epic, but this year should be especially pizzazz-ful.

I run an informal altered book/collage workshop on the 2nd Monday evening each month. I started making another altered book just for this event…

…& It took so few pages before the moths and lichen started to show up. I tried to do sth else, honestly I did, but it seems I can't help it 🤷😂🦋🦋🦋

The paper folds are ones my co-host Neile has taught us during the workshops. She's ace at papercraft 😁✂️📚

In Memoriam Tom Phillips

This past Monday, November 28, 2022, the highly-acclaimed British visual artist Tom Phillips died after a long illness. He was 85 years old. Phillips was a prolific artist in a broad range of disciplines: he was a painter, printmaker, book artist, illustrator, collagist, musician, translator, concrete poet, curator, and composer and librettist of operas. He is perhaps most widely remembered, however, for his several editions of an altered book he titled A Humument, several editions of which we hold (shown below).

We are especially honoring his memory today with this display of original etchings from Phillips’s large 1979 portfolio collection 1263 Heads: I Had Not Known Death Had Undone So Many, printed in an edition of 110 copies with each plate signed and numbered by the artist. The title is an allusion to lines in Dante’s Inferno, where the poet observes a procession of souls damned to hell. This suite of prints is often called “The Dante Folio.” Not long after the portfolio’s publication, Phillips published his own limited-edition translation of the Inferno, illustrated with his original prints, in 1983.

Friday Night Flicks: Michela Rossetti

Tonight’s flick is an almost meditative look at Michela Rossetti engaged in altering what looks like a large library edition dictionary. The finished work consists of the stack of unbound pages and one hundred paper pyramids. In looking for more information on the altered book Parola per parola, and on Rossetti, I learned that the phrase means “Word by word”, and is also the title of a book…

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

#and not to say Ricks work is perfect. ill be the firat to tell you his mistakes. his aspec rep is shit. his minorities rep has problems #he has general time line problems. im not says hes perfect but he tried from a good place #jkr named a character ChoChang. her Scottish character blow stuff up and tried to make alcohol. named a black character Shackelbolt #like damn get over yourself.#percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #if you wanna say shit about Rick ok. but be correct about it #how is he just as bad as jkr for not using the book he made in the early 2000s an exact script for the TV show being released in 2024?#and they yall had the audacity to be pissed when he didn't put a song about sex thats literally says `fuck her face° in the background of #LITERAL 12 YEAR OLDS in a place with memory altering properties..... thats whats you wanted. children getting high to a song about sex.#°oH bUt iN tHe mOvIe tHaT i WaTcHeD wHeN i waS tWeLvE' where the actors where like what 18? and weren't 12? that one? 🙄#some of you are getting on my nerves. yes the show's pacing is eh really thats a reason to curisfy Rick Riordan? thats what you're deciding #this is the line? a tv show thats on its first season and is more accurate then the movies that came out?#good to know

Broskis ts!underswap is so fun. every single part of it is *chefs kiss*

I went in completely blind and honestly i think it was the best move i could have made

i love how its just swapped roles but not personalities so it leads to stuff like this its so creative

Anyways have some more self insert sansnomaly (and chara)

#sansnomaly #junie art post #*adds chara into the “puppetted children thirdwheeling sansnomaly” club*#sans x reader #sans x self insert #utmv #undertale au #ts!underswap #CAN I JUST SAY WHILE SANS IS GREAT HERE #TS SWAP ASGORE IS JUST AS AMAZING?#LEGITIMATELY. THE ENTIRE RUINS IS SO WELL DONE ESTABLISHING ASGORE AND WHAT HE DOES THERE #that i was so. so. reluctant to leave him.#i connected and sympathized with him more than i ever could with toriel in the original. hes so darn sweet its painful.#and from what ive “heard” in the uh. geno route... smarter too.#anyhoo. back to sans.#i wont lie im not that big on comic book heroes. im not that uh savvy #but SPOILERS!!!!#i love how cleverly they implemented the alter ego with crossbones and sans #also seing sans pull new pranks really reminded me how exasperating he is back in UT #every ridiculous line and bs he pulled was so... *sigh* i understand papyrus now #unfortunately for him thats not gonna stop me from loving him any less #crossbones' personality specifically took me a while to like. but he grew on me. (like a barnacle on my ass)#but seeing him admit he liked being crossbones was super cute as hell omg #whatever makes you happy sans #being crossbones also rises to the most ridiculous ideas too so. cant complain

"the Gabe and Sally dynamic in the show is abusive" and "the way they've portrayed Gabe in the show is distinctly different from his book counterpart and fans can criticize that" are two discussions that can coexist

#I understand that this is hard topic to navigate #but me saying that /they've changed Gabe and that's consequently altered the dynamic he has with Sally in way I don't like/#is NOT me saying I don't think what they've portrayed onscreen is non-abusive #or that I WANT to see him abuse her???#its just the guy in the show while clearly controlling and abusive (emotionally and financially so far)#...I don't believe he's the guy who's presence was so horrid and disgusting MONSTERS avoided him #I wouldn't call him /Smelly/#in the book his abuse (all forms) is much more overt #(and just to be painstakingly clear: abuse doesn't have to be overt to be abuse)#but the guy in the show does not have the same presence as the guy in the book #book Gabe is menacing #he growls and he threatens and both Sally and Percy have developed very specific responses to deal with it #I've seen one take saying that people can't recognize the abuse in the show because its not physical (yet?)#but even disregarding the physical abuse entirely #if you compare the book scene and TV show scene of Percy arriving home and he and Sally readying for Montauk #there is a pretty stark difference in tone #and in how both Sally and Percy interact with Gabe #in the book Sally goes out of her way to avoid /provoking/ Gabe and asks Percy to do the same until they can leave for Montauk #and Gabe is just itching for any excuse to keep them home #and imo if Book Sally had said the things that show Sally did to Gabe #Gabe wouldn't have let them gone!#and again im not saying that the show's depiction is nonabusive #or unrealistic #im saying its simply /different/ than the book #and im upset that it doesn't feel like dynamic depicted the book #and no book sally is no simpering wilting flower #but she's also not what they depicted in the show either #pjo adaptation #sally jackson #pjo

Somebody tell me if this is a bad take, or if my love for Bruce is causing my objective brain to glitch, but-- something about advertising Batman, a hero who's very popular for being good with children, for being NURTURING with children, a bad father kinda defeats the whole purpose of what he's supposed to represent.

Batman is a protector; He protects people the world (and especially law enforcement) does not care about. That's literally the point of him.

Something about marketing " you can be incredibly violent to people you care about! And Its fine, because you care about them even if you abuse them, and that's what matters!" towards people, but especially men and young boys, is REALLY fucked up to me.

#it's not really 'wahhh think of the children' because the media you consume isn't a vessel of your character #but. gotham war is so incredibly shallow to me for pulling the 'no no its another personality bruce would never!' like. thats worse.#you get thats worse right?#because 1) dc loves demoninsing DID for some reason but it doesn’t add any substantial weight because bruce will be associated with #the actions of his 'alter' anyway. and dc knew that. 2) if you truly cannot write an interesting comic book where bruce is not abusive #and the batkids aren't being abused. you failed.#this isn't a reprouch or an attack to people who prefer that format. but the creator isn't doing it as genuine exploration of dark tropes #if that's the case -- dont cop out with the personality thing. let him be a bad dad. but its kinda fucked how dc STILL try to paint him #as a good person while doing so. its the collen hoover effect. 'we know the guy is an abuser. thats not the problem. the problem #is that the author wants us to pretend thats a good thing.'#bruce wayne #dc comics #dc #batman #text post #dc critical
