Aesthetica

Spirit of the Night (1879)
John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893)

🧚🏻 The painting was originally accompanied by the following quote from Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem entitled Night:

Wrap thy form in mantle grey Star in wrought!
Blind with thine hair the eyes of Day;
Kiss her until she be wearied out.
Then wonder o'er city and sea and land, Touching all with thine opiate wand - Come, long sought!

It shows a fairy, dressed in a transparent veil, flying above a seaside village. In Grimshaw's typical style, the scene is lit up by the moonlight, making the fairy and her veil shimmer.

💀 The Terminator: The Burning Earth

It's a five-issue miniseries published by NOW Comics in 1990, written by Ron Fortier and fully painted by Alex Ross in his first professional published work.

Set in the future of the Terminator universe, it follows an adult John Connor leading the human resistance in a desperate attempt to destroy Skynet and prevent total annihilation.

The comic is especially remembered for Ross's artwork, which already foreshadows his epic, hyper-realistic style, even at an early stage of his career, While the script received mixed reactions.

The Burning Earth became a cult work due to its visual impact and historical importance.

AETATESOLIS

This is a rare 16th century Icelandic grimoire (Galdrabók), that contains spells and sigils/staves.

'Galdrastafir', Icelandic magical staves, were visual representations of spells and were used in Icelandic folk magic to invoke luck among other things.
