  • And now the STORM-BLAST came, and he

    Was tyrannous and strong:

    He struck with his o’ertaking wings,

    And chased us south along.

    With sloping masts and dipping prow,

    As who pursued with yell and blow

    Still treads the shadow of his foe,

    And forward bends his head,

    The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast,

    And southward aye we fled.

    As soon as I read “STORM-BLAST” the first time, I knew that shit was metal


  • I kept drawing/painting/etc throughout my entire life from an early age and I hate that I have to try so hard to convince people that, yes, they can do art too! It’s not about the common value-derived definition of “talent” (the ability to apply and make money from a skill), I love seeing even rough sketches by people that haven’t done so since they were young.

    This formative peer pressure and the overwhelming push to consider the monetary value in everything first has robbed us, humanity, from so much beautiful art. It’s a tragedy what capital has done, to instill this mode of thought in children to last their entire lives…
