First published in 1856, the lavish folio highlighted stunning patterns, motifs and ornaments in 112 illustrated plates.Each intricate illustration explored design principles behind the architecture, textiles, manuscripts and decorative arts of 19 diverse cultural periods, with a final chapter revelling in the glory of the natural world.Grammar of Ornament was a monumental publishing project that achieved standards of colour printing never seen before. It is still in print 150 years later, testament to its enduring design appeal.“

[image description: an Instagram story from Amaury Guichon (the "Chocolate Guy"), which shows a side-by-side comparison of him in 2007 vs him now (2022). the 2007 picture shows him, significantly younger, standing next to and pointing at a small sculpture of an octopus attacking a ship. the 2022 picture shows him now, standing next to and pointing at a massive sculpture of a kraken holding a large anchor. the second sculpture is roughly three to four times the size of the first one, and finished to a much higher degree of quality. end ID]

I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality.

Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it's what cinema needs more of

Lo que más echaba de menos de este sitio del infierno es buscar algo en la cola de publicaciones que sé que le va a gustar a mutuals en concreto y ver cuánto tardan en hacer reblog. Eso no te lo dan en el fiera máquina mastodonte
A tribute to the yummiest controllers of all time.
Somehow, in 2022, Tumblr University finally exists, but the only offering is a semester long English course about Dracula and everyone is enrolled
