Jruby + Processing = Awesome. I wanted to try and make this work awhile back, but didn’t have the time. Luckily, someone else did.
Now this is what I need to help keep my records/books from overtaking the house. I wonder how LP sized steps would work? (and they would definitely provide a better workout as well…)

In 1987 a long-lost watercolor by Dadd, The Artist’s Halt in the Desert, was discovered by Peter Nahum on the BBC TV programme “Antiques Roadshow”.
In August of that year, having become convinced that his father was the Devil in disguise, Dadd murdered him with a knife and fled for France.

An Evil Guest
While searching for information on a specific Gene Wolfe short story (Easter Sunday), I came across a Neil Gaiman post musing on Wolfe’s upcoming novel, An Evil Guest. It’s set in the near future, though apparently has a 1930’s atmosphere, with several Lovecraft references.
Says Gaiman:
It’s a pulp thriller – and that’s a compliment, because Wolfe knows from pulp thrillers (he wrote a wonderful pastiche of one in “The Island of Dr Death and Other Stories”) and because here he’s creating a strange sort of genre meltdown, a 21st century pulp adventure thriller with SF and horror elements that nobody else could possibly have written.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy vintage science fiction illustrations like these. Yes, another Nonist link.
Found a gallery of amazing paintings by Tiffany Bozic. from an exhibition I missed at the California Academy of Sciences. She mentions Haeckel and Audubon as influences, and indeed Haeckel was the first thing that came to mind. However, her work seems to come from a darker, different place and she adds a heavy dose of surrealist mystique.
I’d love to have prints of several of these. Check out more of her work here.
