Well, hello. I usually paint portraits in oil. But now that Iâve got a tablet and PS, they open up the opportunity for artistic exploration that would normally take a long time via traditional methods. I donât have to wait 2 days for a layer to dry for a start... so thatâs encouraging.
Anyways, I like Good Omens. It also happens to be the perfect context to examine different art styles from Renaissance to Victorian times. I started this little historical Good Omens art series last month. Letâs begin with Golgotha Aziraphale and Crowley as Rembrandt style oil portraits :)

The best notes written in manuscripts by medieval monks
Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or ownerâs name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages
Oh, my hand
The parchment is very hairy
Thank God it will soon be dark
St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing
Now Iâve written the whole thing; for Christâs sake give me a drink
Oh d fuckin abbot
Massive hangover
Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job
Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night
If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral
I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today
Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark
11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I wonât write again
Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God
If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen
what does oh d fuckin abbot even MEAN
an abbot is the head of a monastery so it just means âfuck my bossâ basically, an abbreviation of âO damned fuckin Abbotâ. this is what it looks like:
Brasenose College MS 7, f.62vÂ
Medieval monks say Fuck Work
âNow Iâve written the whole thing; for Christâs sake give me a drinkâ Â -definitely something I have said before
A Letter from âCrawlyâ to Azirapil
This remarkable letter of unknown provenance surfaced recently in the cuneiform collection of the University of West Wessex.  Addressed to Azirapil from a Mr. âCrawly,â it appears to be begging for the otherâs return to Ur from a western journey with another individual, Abiraham.  The relationship between the two (brothers? business partners? friends?) is unknown, and all three names are quite unusual.  The letter also mentions a Mr. Ea-naáčŁir in Ur; if this is the same Ea-naáčŁir as the merchant mentioned in UET V 22, 29, 71, and 81, then the original letter would be dated to the Larsa period, around 1800 BCE.  However, this particular copy appears to be a scribal exercise; the writing is relatively unskilled, and the cuneiform is Neo-Assyrian in form.  It is unclear whether the text is based on a historical letter, or if its unusual names and content were invented for scribal practice.
Text:
Tell Azirapil [1]:
Thus says âCrawlyâ [2]:
When will your time in the West be finished? Â Abiraham [3] seems very dirty, and I am weary [4] in Ur. Â [There is] a talented mirsu-maker [5] on Wide Street!
Watch out, for I have acquired a new friend.  His name is Ea-NaáčŁir [6], and I may play wickedly with him if you do not return. Â
Come quickly!

THIS. WAS. IMPROVISED. (x)
Itâs actually even worse than Terry Pratchett predicted. All of the peer-reviewed scholarship is locked behind paywalls whilst the lies and propaganda are freely available to everyone.
On a more earnest note, can I just say how deeply, deeply sorry I feel for Emilia Clarke right now? Daenerys was the character that made her career, she started playing her at 22 and has spent a DECADE of her life bringing her to life. She worked through TWO aneurysms, put her entire body and soul into this role, for a third of her life, only to have the character destroyed in less than a season. Sheâs poured so much love into playing Dany, and you can tell sheâs giving it her all this season even through the bad writing that she apparently broke down in tears when she first read. Iâm just so, so, SO sorry, Emilia

Death Is Not Cruel, Merely Terribly Effective by Ben McSweeney
Terry wrote to me and he said  âYou have to do this â- he began this email, I went back and looked at it the other day -  âI know how busy you are, but you are the only person who has the same understanding of and passion for the old girl that I do, so you got to do it âcause I want to see it.â And I said yes. And very shortly after, Terry died. So now he couldnât see it.
So I had to make the thing that he wanted, which meant it became kind of a mad passion project. The things that if it was a me-project I wouldâve given away on, things I wouldnât have held the line on like some kind of a mad-eyed prophet.
Suddenly Iâm going âNo, you cannot take this out. This is going to be in there. Because Terry wrote that scene and he would have wanted to see it, so itâs in there.â And theyâre like âOh, but do you know how much money we could save if you donât actually see Agnes Nutter being blown up and arrested and dragged to the stake, we got this idea,â said an early bunch of producers who later left, âthat we could have woodcuts and the narrator explaining what happened. Isnât that just as good?â
And I sort of mentally run that by the ghostly Terry Pratchett in the back of my head, itâs like: âTerry, is that just as good?â And heâs like: âFuck âem.â
Tooth fairies are a smaller and friendlier subspecies of the larger and much more hostile bone fairies.
