Built in 1852, Le Cabaret de L'Enfer (The Cabaret of Hell) was a famous club in Paris, known for itâs hellish theme and creepy decor. Every guest would be greeted by a doorman dressed as the Devil, and were served endless booze and fine cuisine by waiters dressed in devil suits.
After the Cabaret was taken over by a supermarket in the 1950s, strange things would occur in and around the building. Passers-by felt uneasy, groans seemed to escape from itâs walls and, most notably, French serial killer Guy Georges was captured inside the Monoprix where the club once stood. There are many who believe that Le Cabaret de LâEnfer, a favourite of Devil Worshippers, opened a portal to hell that can never be shut again.
Hereâs one that a few true crime novelists I know have found useful.
The Hungarian settlement of SzĹdliget is often called âWitch Villageâ due to itâs eerie atmosphere. It is a small waterside town with only a couple of inhabitants, and fog gathers on the lake most nights.

In honor of #BlackExcellence365, weâve connected with some incredibly talented artists on Tumblr to hear them out on how the topic of Black identity shines through in their art. First up in our #BlackExcellence365 Artist Spotlight series is Jessica Spence (@jessmyart), a Jamaican-American artist whose portraiture work often speaks to the life of Black women.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you came to be an illustrator. How has Tumblr been a place for you to find your voice?
I studied Fine Arts and Art Education in undergraduate and graduate school. I do not see myself as an illustrator, but rather as a painter. Most of my works are paintings. I began using Tumblr as an online platform to share my work. Tumblr has allowed me to find my voice as an artist by sharing content with other creatives and those who might not be able to access or see the artwork in a gallery setting.Â
What communities do you identify with both online and IRL?
The communities I identify with both online and in real life are those that reflect my cultural background and common interests. I identify with women of colorânamely Black women. I identify with those from the West Indian and Caribbean communities because my parents are Jamaican and raised me in a household that reflected Jamaican culture although I was raised in New York. With that being said, I also identify with those who also grew up in New York and having the ability to meet and connect with people from various backgrounds who live here. Â Being an artist, I also identify with others who see themselves as artists as well, whether they work in visual arts, education, writing, music, film, or dance.
How did you come up with your featured piece and how might this relate to the broader conversation surrounding the #BlackExcellence365 campaign?
âSore Armsâ is a work within a larger series of paintings that I created to highlight and show the versatility and beauty of Black hairstyles.
Hair is an important aspect of the Black community. We see it in media, advertisements, movies, and even in social media. Can you delve more into the concept of the âSore Armsâ piece and how that correlates to the intersection of hair and Black women?
The title âSore Armsâ reflects the concept of styling your own hair and the struggle of getting soreness from creating a hairstyle that is time-consuming. While the process can take time, the result is beautiful. Beyond the aesthetic appeal of the hair, the work also depicts women embracing these culturally significant styles despite societal beauty ideals.
What have been some challenges for you as an artist?
Some challenges I have faced thus far are at times having to justify to some people why I create art. With the label of being an âartistâ I know there will be those who donât understand its importance, but my passion for it and those who do, keeps me going.
If youâre a Black artist and want to talk about how your art is informed by your identity, let the community know! Upload a photo (or GIF! Or video! Or script!) of your work to your Tumblr and tag it #BlackExcellence365 so everyone can find it.

âThis body of work was inspired by the desire to shift preconceived notions regarding Holy imagery. It is rightfully noted that it is rare to find Black people portrayed as Holy entities. May you find divinity in your Melanin, as we reclaim our narrative. This is the New Era.â

The tomb of Liliana Crociati de Szaszak is located in La Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Liliana died at just 26-years-old on the 26th of February, 1970, when the hotel she was staying in was hit by an avalanche. Her mother designed the Neo-Gothic tomb and it is a stark contrast to the other tombs in the cemetery. When Lilianaâs dog, SabĂş, passed away, a bronze statue replicating him was erected alongside the tomb with Lilianaâs hand resting on his head. Underneath the statues, is a poem written by her father. It reads:
To my Daughter
Only I ask myself why You left and left my heart destroyed That wanted only you, why? Why? Only destiny knows the reason, and I ask myself why?
Because we canât be without you, why? You were so beautiful that invidious nature destroyed you. Why? I only ask myself why, if God exists, does he take away that which is not His. Because He destroys us and leaves us to an eternity of sadness!
Why? I believe in fate and not in you. Why? Because I only know that I always dream with you, why is that? For all the love my heart feels for you. Why? Why?

Rummu Prison was built in 1938 in the small Estonian town of Rummu. Built on the lip of a limestone quarry, the prisoners were forced to mine limestone. When the Soviet Union collapsed and Estonia regained its independence, the prison was abandoned. Some of the prison can still be seen today, however, much is completely underwater and is now a popular diving spot.
