Say hello to my little friend! 🐙 Why is the Oc Say hello to my little friend! 🐙

Why is the Octopus the official steampunk creature? 

All the reasons:

They employ water jet-propulsion like a steampunk machine,  they routinely face off with the Nautilus, exhibit a mysterious and superior intelligence and an alien-like mystique, they possess undeniable kraken-ancestry, they were symbolic of the industrial Revolution (specifically the railroad industry), their eyes resemble time-traveling goggles.  Do you agree?

Hello, lovers of clockwork and mechanical marvels! Hello, lovers of clockwork and mechanical marvels! I am honored to share the work of @ericfreitas24. “The surreal seduction of Eric Freitas’ clockwork inhabits each one of his wondrous and masterfully crafted pieces. His breathtaking clocks and chronographs mark time through the ardent love story between the mechanical and the organic. Mr. Freitas brings living, breathing machines to life to remind us of our own eternity.” -Carolina Cardona 

You can admire more of his exquisite work at ericfreitas.com

Most days, losing myself is a fun experiment, but Most days, losing myself is a fun experiment, but today, the hours are all wrong and gravity itself feels off. The stars are speaking to me but I can’t tell if they’re lying. I don’t trust my own oceans.

Guess I’ll make more coffee.

“A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible “A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. 

One is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. 

The other is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. 

The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
 
“Which wolf will win?”
 
“The one you feed.”

“Ophelia” by British Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir “Ophelia” by British Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais was completed in 1852.
I was lucky to see it in person at @tatebritainlondon. It captures a solemn moment right before a singing Ophelia drowns in a river in Denmark. Her expression always bewitches me...that exquisite madness of the water creeping closer and overtaking. I spent a significant part of my academic career studying the Pre Raphaelites and their influence in Latin American Modernismo. In fact, @museoarteponce in Puerto Rico is home to a marvelous collection of Pre Raphaelite art. A print of this particular work is now prominently displayed in my dining room. Wherever I go, Ophelia will always come with me. #ophelia #shakespeare #hamlet #preraphaelite #preraphaelitebrotherhood #victorianpainting  #thetropicaleccentric #sirjohneverettmillais #tatebritain
🎭 Today is World Theater Day, another delight C 🎭 Today is World Theater Day, another delight Covid has robbed us for too long. I did a lot of theater in school and college and part of me would love to return to the stage as well as behind-the-scenes. I love writing plays and I am especially fond of lighting and set design. I had the best time working behind the consoles. Work and writing keep me busy but I would love to join a local community theater group. Sigh.  Photo by Gwen King #worldtheatreday

When @official_enya released “Caribbean Blue”, I felt so seen! Every one of her albums marked an era of both happiness and heartbreak and her music is, to this day, poignantly influential to my creativity. Find this gorgeous tune and other lovingly curated tracks on the Andújar: The Robot Gentleman of San Juan playlist on spotify.
