For #MonochromeMonday, here are two aizuri-e* prints by Utagawa Hiroshige I (Japanese, 1797–1858) from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston collection: 1. Bats and Branch 2. Cicada on a Tree Trunk Woodblock prints: blue ink on paper, vertical chûban size

*Aizuri-e (Japanese: 藍摺絵 "blue printed picture") usually refers to Japanese woodblock prints printed entirely or predominantly in blue....[Its] development was associated with the import of the pigment Prussian blue from Europe in the 1820s." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aizuri-e

With severance season 2 around the corner it’s time for me to share the time I accidentally watched 4 minutes of an episode on mute and thought it was a brilliant way to show the sensory deprivation experienced by the innies

can we talk about this moment in woe's hollow for a second in the wide shot before irv walks into the woods and how helly leans all the way back into mark and he puts his arm around her and she brings her hand up over his arm to keep it there? can we? because it's SO special to me and poor helly in that moment is so scared and confused and all she wants is mark's comfort and for him not to let go and ITS SO GOOD
