The history of paint is entwined with a history of material experimentation, and of people who have often taken considerable […]

In 79 AD, the #ancient #city of #Herculaneum was #overwhelmed and #buried by multiple #pyroclasticflows resulting from a devastating #eruption of Mount #Vesuvius. The city's everyday environment was abruptly #encased in #solidrock, allowing #organicmaterials to be #preserved better than in #Pompeii. These include the #Herculaneumpapyri (see ref).

Finally have a buyer for my #painting "The Navel (of the World)"!

It's a work on wood panel in #handmade oil and #casein. The ring is gold leaf.

Alright, finally going to introduce myself around here:

I'm Lannan! I'm a #comic creator, #painter, #illustrator, #writer, #sewist, and #MixedMedia dabbler! A lot of my work is inspired by the Weird, the Wacky, the Wondrous, and very occasionally, the sublime. (There's also fanart sometimes.)

I'm interested in #NaturalMedia, #PaintMaking, #ForagedColor, and #OrganicMaterials with my traditional work.
