There's so much i love about this #drollery, not least the substantial [ongoing] amount of satirical meta-presumptions.

Haha, their witty meta-humour is so consistently brilliant.

Finally finished two rush projects and this allows me to continue on with the Marginalia Tarot Deck.
Today it's the Eight of Coins which is based on The Romance of the Rose. Français380.
It's a real learning experience on duplicating all these medieval painting styles digitally.

This is a two-for-one
First, it's another one of those "Pink Barbie Castles" we've seen in many manuscripts.
Second, it's some more of that wonderful Escher architecture which I love.

Some say vampires don't exist.
But this manuscript has an image of Nosferatu
Or … maybe it's Yoda
Who knows about these medieval artists sometimes.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship.The mate was a mighty sailing man,
The skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day
For a forty day tour, a forty day tour.The weather started getting rough,
The tiny ship was tossed,
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.Apocalypse de S. Jean. Français 13096, f. 11v

This was captioned as "Punishment of the slothful ( top ) and the lusful ( bottom )
To me, it's the greatest combination seeing it's hybrid ( man / chicken monster ) riding a snail.
Marginalia doesn't get better than this one.

Some marginalia do not need a caption save it's "A chicken riding a goat and jousting with a flower."
LIke many of the marginalia I find, the poster did not cite the manuscript.

Jack took a job as a letter messenger.
He'd walk from town to town where people would either pin letters to him or check if they got mail.
Not much of a job, but he got lots of exercise.
