Codex Rotundus “266 almost perfectly circular pages of parchment have been bound together to build a block of 3cm height with a diameter of only 9cm.”

The initials of the metal clasps point us to Adolph of Cleves, Lord of Ravenstein (1425 - 1492) as the owner.

Had the pleasure of seeing Martin Wittfooth’s solo show, “Offering” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery last weekend. Wittfooth’s large scale, surreal paintings of animals and nature, blooms of flora, and barren landscapes all hold a divine symmetry and shamanic mysticism.

Definitely check this show out if you’re in New York.

apparently the key to happiness is to have a long and shitty winter

and if you can’t have that, surround yourself with deadly wildlife

or maybe these countries have free or reasonably priced health care, good education and costs nothing or very little, marriage equality(not all do however on the list but they at least aren’t extremely homophobic either), decent minimum wages, stable economies, low crime rates and so forth and also deadly wildlife because we protect our environment

The Featured Creature: Sea Sapphire: the Most Beautiful Animal You’ve Never Heard Of

This is the Sea Sapphire, an absolutely STUNNING marine copepod. Japanese fishermen would call a gathering of these creatures “tama-mizu”, or jeweled water. Make sure to watch the VIDEO in the article!!
