Remember my friend, that knowledge is stronger than memory, and we should not trust the weaker.

These are really cool and they give me a lot of conceptual story ideas.

Fantasy Cities by Florian Moncomble

Still obsessed with this book. LOOK AT THE DESIGN. Its made to look like an old library book with margin notes and extra stuff like postcards, letters and news articles. I mean… it can’t get any cooler than this.

I love this artist/architect's work; so beautiful.

This is beautiful, I'd be curious to know exactly where the original saying came from.

After this image became so popular, the quote passed me by on an almost daily basis. Eventually, my brain settled on a bit more darkish interpretation of ‘the crows leading you home’.

Sounds interesting

“All the Real Indians Died Off”: And 20 Other Myths About Native Americans (2016)  

“In this enlightening book, scholars and activists Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker tackle a wide range of myths about Native American culture and history that have misinformed generations. Tracing how these ideas evolved, and drawing from history, the authors disrupt long-held and enduring myths such as:

“Columbus Discovered America”

“Thanksgiving Proves the Indians Welcomed Pilgrims”

“Indians Were Savage and Warlike”

“Europeans Brought Civilization to Backward Indians”

“The United States Did Not Have a Policy of Genocide”

“Sports Mascots Honor Native Americans”

“Most Indians Are on Government Welfare”

“Indian Casinos Make Them All Rich”

“Indians Are Naturally Predisposed to Alcohol”

Each chapter deftly shows how these myths are rooted in the fears and prejudice of European settlers and in the larger political agendas of a settler state aimed at acquiring Indigenous land and tied to narratives of erasure and disappearance. Accessibly written and revelatory, “All the Real Indians Died Off” challenges readers to rethink what they have been taught about Native Americans and history.”

Cool pics, but it is clearly fabric in each one.

Ectoplasm. Ectoplasm denotes a substance or spiritual energy “exteriorized” by physical mediums. Ectoplasm is said to be associated with the formation of spirits, and is to be formed by physical mediums when in a trance state. This material is excreted as a gauze-like substance from orifices on the medium’s body and spiritual entities are said to drape this substance over their nonphysical body, enabling them to interact in the physical and real universe. Some accounts claim that ectoplasm begins clear and almost invisible, but darkens and becomes visible, as the psychic energy becomes stronger. Still other accounts state that in extreme cases ectoplasm will develop a strong odor. According to some mediums, the ectoplasm can not occur in light conditions as the ectoplasmic substance would disintegrate. Ectoplasm is considered to be a hoax, made from cheesecloth, gauze or other natural substances.

I just realized I haven’t posted my Inktober sketches here yet, so here they are!
