Week's Links

Dark Roasted Blend shows surreal insects

The British Library is hosting a two day international conference to accompany their exhibition Royal Manuscripts: The Genius of Illumination - who's gonna send me?

 Also from The British Library - Bob Dylan is up for a Nobel in Literature? Um. sure.

The Beat has their 31 Days of Halloween on, and this looks delightful - A Skeleton Story.

"The city of Paris has a deputy mayor of the night." with art happening.

Greek Manuscripts. Online. 

Coilhouse shares a piece on the art of Kazuhiko Nakamura. Astro Boy!

And now for the comics:

The Minotaur takes a trip.

Getting to "just the right spot.

The Retractable Beard is finally given its due.

(altho, you gotta know, if it doesn't look like Wil Wheaton's then its power is effectively reduced by 800%)

There's more out there!

So don't allow the unconnected nature of the most recent spate of library catalogs hem you in: walk stacks, stare at artwork, get interested in stuff, defy incompetence with imagination!
