A recent photograph of the Maple Living-Room of the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoe Selo, Russia. You’ll notice many more plants and furniture have been added, including a runner of grey-green carpet for the staircase with treads, seat cushions for the arm-chairs, and other things. GMZ Tsarskoe Selo has also added carpeting up in the entresol (balcony/mezzanine) of the room, and some furniture as well.  Little by little, life has been breathed into this timeless room. Even if some may decry the wood tone, and that some textiles haven’t been recreated, etc - think of the fact that the museum is on a budget, and largely had to make use of its own funding for this project - the rehabilitation and restoration of the Alexander Palace. It’s still not finished - work still continues and will do so until next year or more! ________________________________ Photograph Credit: “Влюблённые в Петербург” (Lovers in Petersburg) via VK.

Building in neo-mudejar style in Ontinyent (central Valencian Country). Photos by Kazar Hotel.
This building was originally called Xalet Mompó and was built in 1925 as a home for the Mompó family. The house was built in neo-mudejar style, which is a revival of mudejar style (a Medieval architecture style used in Iberian Christian kingdoms who were influenced by Islamic culture). The neo-mudejar style was part of Valencian modernisme (art nouveau), a movement from the late 19th- and early 20th-century that re-imagined architecture and art of the country’s past with modern means and taste. In the case of this building, the architect also drew inspiration from more modern architecture styles from Northern Africa and the Middle East.
Since 1997, this building is a hotel.

Miscellaneous pencil doodles
Found a 2B pencil and had some fun: my nerves are strung up so high lately...
Tumblr media
#1: Igorina, stitching on that scalp. Came from long, painful memories of trying to gel individual hairs onto my scalp away from my neck when I was supposed to scrape everything into a clean, mess-less ballerina bun. You ever see people do that? How do you manage it? Kudos to all Igor(ina)s, and also our beloved Reg Shoe, I love imagining them repairing themselves with needle and thread in their spare time, I dunno, seems weirdly peaceful
Tumblr media
#2: This came from my personal headcanon that Vetinari's "Si non confectus, non reficiat" motto applies to the Patrician's Palace. Hence, he never got around to fixing all the holes left in the corridors or whatnot by the dragon, and when winter comes the dirty snow blows in and leaves terrible moldy patches (he also insists in sleeping in his old room, the one the dragon blasted a hole in. Y'know, the several-floor drop to the main hall hole?)
Tumblr media
#3: Sam Jr., sleepy... which I am too, by the way. Just a moment and Da will pack everything up and come read Where's my Cow? I know my last Sybil isn't black, but none of my character designs are solid at all. In fact, this was supposed to be a Sybil sketch before I realized it was running in entirely the wrong direction! Says a lot about how I draw.

These flowers grow in the valley beneath my house, and I love them. All closed up at this time of year I think they look like fairy palaces, or the best architecture you might see at Disneyland. But when they're out and open, the flowers somehow catch the light even in a rainstorm. They look like the most beautiful art art nouveau lampposts you could imagine.

Vienna Austria 2022
Gustav Klimt Austrian Artist – sothebys.com There are striking differences between Vienna and Hanoi! It will take a few days to acclimate. Vienna is five hours behind Hanoi, and altogether it was a 12-hour flight with a brief stopover in Doha Qatar. The flights and airport taxi pickups went well, without delays.

You head north, because…because you feel like it, that’s why. The corridor is what you are coming to think of as Labyrinth Standard Concrete. You reach a doorway on your left and it continues on.
Looking through the doorway, you see a room so tall that the ceiling is lost in shadow. In the center is an absolutely amazing spiral staircase. It is the sort of staircase that Art Nouveau sculptors dream about when they have been hitting the absinthe a little too hard.
For one thing, each step appears to be made of a single piece of ivory, and where they found tusks six feet long and two feet wide, you couldn’t begin to guess. There are round gemstones the size of quail eggs inset into the ivory steps, and rubies the size of chicken eggs studding the central pillar, surrounded by mother-of-pearl settings. The outer railing is more curved ivory carved in a delicate spiral, worked with gold filigree, set with even more gems, and stained a remarkable shade of shell-pink.
The whole thing gives you the impression that the creator had both a limitless budget and absolutely no concept of restraint. It’s…okay, yeah, arguably it’s tasteless, but that’s probably because it’s sitting in a weird little concrete room. It would look fine in a palace. Or the British Museum, once they’d looted said palace.
Given the distinct lack of treasure in this place so far, your gob is pretty thoroughly smacked.
When you finally tear your eyes from the staircase, you see a rickety iron ladder affixed to the wall and what looks like a stone with a plaque on it in front of the first step.
