This blog is a refugee and a survivor of the Great Tumblr Inquisition of December 17th, 2018. I am gay artist, who received training at the Rhode Island School of Design, and now, a retired high-end fine art framer living in Maryland, USA. My interests and studies in life run a wide gamut from art to history and from the scientific to the esoteric. I have been building this blog of images and texts for the last eight years. My wish is that my posts pique the interest of viewers and encourage them to experience more.
Cast Bronze Lord Vishnu
Cast Bronze Lord Vishnu, Lost Wax Method in the Hoysata Style
Vishnu’s face is perfectly shaped giving him a truly divine appearance. His face is angular and sharp with his oval eyes almost looking through you with the power of his gaze. He is dressed in royal silk garments and holds in his four hands the sankha (conch), chakra (discus), gada (mace), a fly whisp in his front right hand.
The conch represents “Om”, the first sound of creation and also the beginning of matter, since sound and matter are consider to be synonymous. The discus is thought to represent the sun. Vishnu’s weapon, the mace, represents the elemental force from which all physical and mental powers derive.
His head dress design is called a Kirita Makutam, a head dress in the shape of a large puja bell. Both in his head dress and on his belt is a carving of the god of time Mahakala. Vishnu’s large mace was cast separately and can be removed from the piece.

Hands on Glass

“Behold the hands, how they promise, conjure, appeal, menace, pray, supplicate, refuse, beckon, interrogate, admire, confess, cringe, instruct, command, mock and what not besides, with a variation and multiplication of variation which makes the tongue envious.”

Sergio Velasco Garcia, “Colima Volcano Explosion”,
This photo won third prize in the Nature category of the 2016 World Press Photo Contest.
The Colima Volcano in Mexico shows a powerful night explosion with lightning and some incandescent rockfalls. The photo was taken on December 13, at a distance of 12.5 kilometers away from the crater near a lagoon named Carrizalillos on Comala Municipality. This particular bolt of lightning is more than 600 meters tall, lighting details of the south portion of volcano in this 8 second exposure.
A Man with a Hat
Photographer Unknown, (Man Stand-in in Stream with Hat in Hand)
“(My copy of Hall’s ‘Secret Teachings of All Ages’ has a really neat picture of Shakespeare with an onionskin engraving of Bacon that you can lay over it to see what Shakespeare would have looked like in a fruity hat. I truly recommend this book.)”
