Pandora's Box by  Peter & Donna Thomas

This is part of a series focusing on a small fraction of the lovely artists books by Peter and Donna Thomas!

Today's item is a scroll on a wooden frame that the makers compare to Pandora's Box-easy to open, but harder to put back! (Don't worry- I got it rolled back up again safely.)

When unrolled, it features a quotation from Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-five, which begins: "I have told my sons that they are not under any circumstances to take part in massacres." The text is on a backdrop of green and blue linoleum cuts by Donna Thomas.

Peter and Donna Thomas are "book artists from Santa Cruz, CA. They work both collaboratively and individually; letterpress printing, hand-lettering and illustrating texts, making paper, and hand binding both fine press and artists’ books." They have made over 100 limited edition books, often with Peter making the paper, and Donna doing the illustrations.

Check out more of Donna and Peter's books at Uiowa here.

ao3 authors who have no social media are are so mystical. they really be writing and posting some of the most perfectly crafted pieces of media and then disappearing without a trace

#ma'am or sir or folk please give me an username where to find you because i need to become your loyal follower #it's like going from tavern to tavern asking for the tales of the great CoffeeAndWriter from the mythical land of AO3 #but seriously every time i find an amazing fanfiction i'm holding my breath crossing my fingers and scrolling to the ending notes hoping to #find a tumblr username and when there's nothing i go to the profile and then when there's nothing there i know #i found another mythical creature in the fandom to add to the book #at this point i'm collecting them like pokemons specially in st fandom #byler #byler tumblr #fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 #fandom #writing #fandom things #fandom culture #byler ao3 #stranger things ao3

im aromantic which means I don’t care about shipping at all except for when I do, hope that clears it up

#aromantic #shitpost #scrolling through a tag rn like I could give very few less shits about all this ships I wanna look at the characters #and yet there are some books and stories where I’m like if I don’t think about these guys kissing I’ll die #who knows what makes the difference? I certainly don’t #well. I have some idea. but irrelevant #anyway

I'm an artist, and my friend who is obsessed with Skyrim (the reason why I even play the game) had a birthday this month. I was scrolling online to see if I could order something for them and found the cheap, made-to-print spiral notebook version of the Oghma Infinium and thought... I can do that, but better. So I did.

I took a few creative liberties and obviously it's not EXACT but my friend thinks it's cool and I think it's cool so. There it is.

Truly amazing. In an incredible display of his power, the Dragon God of Time Akatosh has decided to grant us an additional day this year! Please be sure to pay your respects to Akatosh, as he may deign to grant us another additional day in a few years if you do!

#uesp #the elder scrolls #elder scrolls online #jokes #There doesn't actually seem to be leap years in The Elder Scrolls. Akatosh must be doing a good enough job that they are unnecessary. #The book series 2920 DOES feature what would be a leap year. But it is not directly referred to as one #And the concept has not appeared again to the best of my knowledge.

I picked up a cheap sci-fi novel and the dedication briefly made me think I had lost my marbles.

The Daedric Alphabet

"I tire of all spell scrolls I come across saying Woe Upon You. Why not something nicer, like Joy Upon You?"

- Seeks-For-Knowledge

The Daedric alphabet is used by both the Dunmer and the Daedra, the Dunmer using it as a remnant from a time when they worshipped the Daedra, before the Battle of Red Mountain in the First Era.

Exceptions

The letters Xayah (X) and Yahkem (Y) are sometimes omitted in scrolls and books, leaving only a blank space where the letter would be. They appear more commonly in banners and signs.

Writing styles

Daedric is not always written from left to right. On occassion it is written from up to down instead. Some places even write it upside down or mirrored, though this is less common. However, the most interesting way to write it is the decorative way often used in signs and banners, where the letters can overlap each other and vary in size, though the starting letter tends to be the largest, and different in colour than the rest.

Traveler's advice: If you ever journey to Morrowind, learning the basics of the Daedric alphabet can really enrich your journey, and also lessen the humiliating need to ask for directions when standing right by signs written in Daedric.

#tes #the elder scrolls #important notice: my handwriting can be flawed as I am a self-taught learner #it has been a while since i journeyed in morrowind. my ability to read the daedric alphabet is growing rusty #maybe it is time to book another trip #certainly the easier way than finding my way to another daedric domain. it is more common than one might think. #daedric ruins often have inscriptions in daedric as well but i recommend not to stay and study them unless you are certain there are no #daedra approaching you.

A giant mystery box from the US? What could it be? None other than more fantastic work by @scrollsnsketchbooks, and some original art by Ry (nicatorshields on Instagram) that graced the pages of my brand new SECOND EDITION cookbook! And my precious worldbuilding compendium!! All bound in leather with SILVER pages oh my!

My gratitude also goes out to @thana-topsy and @icicleteeth for contributing their incredible art skills to the recipe book.

I have the best friends and fan community in the world and from the bottom of my heart I'd like to thank all 11k+ of you who never stopped believing in me. Long live Tastes of Tamriel! 🖤

Damian continues doing 99% of the work in this event even though he only got 1% of panel-time in it so far.

#he traveled the desert on foot alone during a sandstorm to find a hidden temple with scrolls that holds the key to defeating the enemy #meanwhile Bruce is still having the same dream about his parents death on repeat in the same book #Damian Wayne

This means reposting without permission. Feeding into ai. Taking as your own. Not giving credit to the artist. Posting things that aren't yours in the first place. Etc.

This goes for fanart, original pieces from the artist, writing, gifsets - anything someone took the time to make.
