Fountain in the 'White Court', engraving by Zacharias Lesche (240 × 160 mm, matrice),

Disturbing Territories Sketch Book 1998-1999 with over 200 drawings on tracing paper

19th century sketches of fishes from the seas surrounding China and Japan.

The fish in the top image (the drawing clearly has taken some inspiration from the Chinese dragons) belongs to the stargazer family. Stargazers have their eyes and mouths on top of their heads. As the stargazers bury in the bottom of the sea, the top facing mouth and eyes allows them to ambush the prey quickly and unnoticed. This particular stargazer drawn here belongs to Uranoscopus genera, which is also capable of producing electric shocks.

New post on #thanatography! How can the Trump administration affect #endoflife care for #immigrants, #lbgtq people and others affected by #death (spoiler: everyone)? "Death is the great equalizer and dying well is a right that should be afforded to everyone whenever possible* regardless of sex, gender, creed, orientation, race, citizenship and religious beliefs. Having your loved ones at your bedside is a big part of dying well. An administration that doesn't recognize the rights of same-sex couples can hinder that, for example, and changes to health care could affect someone's ability to get proper hospice care."
