Have you seen anything from Ibride? What intriguing imagery!
I believe this is a tray.
Ooooh.....fascinating.
What an interesting cabinet!
How fun...a family tree of cats.
I could happily live under this wall. On a deep red velvet fainting couch.

Gwen shared this---it's perfect! Thanks, Gwen. You find the darndest things.
(I stuck that ugly watermark on there. So no one can nab it. Not that y'all would.)
This is by Kathy Beynette, who wrote When Your Porcupine Feels Prickly.
Gwen sent it to us, and we love it. It has great paintings with lots of rich layers, and the animals are so funny.
Kathy seems like she'd be fun, doesn't she? Visit her blog if you feel compelled. I compell you. The power of the Zebras compell you.

Have some scary Pope art. You're welcome.
Portrait of Pope Innocent X by Velazquez next to Francis Bacon's Screaming Pope
He looks like a real meanie, doesn't he?

I'm not Catholic, but I think the Conclave process is so interesting. From the long line of red robes and funny hats to the sending up of white or black smoke, I find the whole process fascinating.

Pope Benedict is the first pope to resign in almost 600 years.
Poor Ratzinger. From that wretched name to his frankly-terrifying appearance, the guy got a bum rap.
The poparazzi (see what I did there?) seemed to delight in getting bad photos of Pope Benedict. Those crazy get-ups don't help much, either.
He bears an unfortunate resemblance to Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars.
Ratsy was actually kind of handsome in his youth, though. A slight Daniel Craig resemblance, perhaps? Nah.
Ratzinger had a tough act to follow. Could Pope John Paul II have been any more likable? Someone I know once described him as 'the grandfather you wished you'd had'. He was practically Pope Mister Rogers.
He was so warm and funny.
Pope Benedict always looked like you caught him just as he was about to dine upon small children.
Now I'm ready for the next season of The Borgias.
