My  double spread ‘tapestry’ for @in-love-with-my-car-zine   It only took slightly less time to paint each thread than doing real embroidery would have!

I found the personification of my soul. The vibe of the moment.

He has seen the horrors. He is the horrors. He is us, and we are he.

Creatures from the Kennicott Bible, an illuminated manuscript copy of the Hebrew Bible, copied in A Coruña, Spain in 1476 by the calligrapher Moses ibn Zabarah and illuminated by Joseph ibn Hayyim 🔮🦇👼🏼🐉🐻🐊🐒🦚🪞

It is regarded as one of the most exquisite illuminated manuscripts in Hebrew and one of the most lavishly illuminated Sephardic manuscript of the 15th century. According to the historian Cecil Roth, one of the most outstanding aspects of this copy is the close collaboration it shows between the calligrapher and the illuminator, rare in this type of work.

In 1476, Isaac, a Jewish silversmith from Coruña, son of Salomón de Braga, commissioned an illuminated Bible from the scribe Moses ibn Zabarah who lived in Coruña with his family on behalf of his patron. He spent ten months to scribe the Bible, writing two folios on a daily basis. Illumination of the manuscript was the responsibility of Joseph ibn Hayyim, who is remembered thanks to this work.

The first documentation of the Jewish presence dates to 1375. Jewish population in A Coruña grew rapidly throughout the Late Middle Ages. It is thought that after the persecution of Jews in Castile, a large number of Jewish people took refuge in Galicia. The Jewish community in Coruña traded with Castile and Aragon, and in 1451 they contributed to the rescue of the Murcian Jews with a large sum of money, which could demonstrate the prosperity of the community.

Anything the media says that you disagree with is an obvious conspiracy, and anything they say that you agree with is clearly factual.

Why he light skinned?

[yourladyindank]

Because Martin Luther was white and German.

[fancynewaddress]

did…

did someone confuse Luther with Jesus omg

[lookwhathappenedtomack]

I suspect they confused him with Martin Luther King

[lets-talk-about-sects]

Oh no

[the-golden-ghost]

I mean, I get mixing them up based on names alone, but I’m concerned about the people who think Martin Luther King Jr. routinely wrote with a quill or dressed like a Renaissance man.

[twofacetoo]

At that point it’s your own damn fault for making that kind of mistake

sometimes reading fanfic is like enjoying a gourmet tasting menu from a team of expert chefs who all have different styles and approaches to a favorite cuisine

and sometimes reading fanfic is like standing in front of the open fridge at three in the morning shoving handfuls of shredded cheese into your mouth

[flamingwell]

And I love both. Sometimes you just need piles of shredded cheese in your mouth at 3am, ya know?
