All that I see or seen is but a Dream in a Dream
I am a young and coming artist from Atlanta, Ga. I write poetry, freestyles, complex analogies, and stories. Most of my inspiration at the moment comes from the infinite repeating objects that surround my macrocosm and microcosm world. I have an obsession with anatomy, especially eyes and hearts. I paint to reflect my own consciousness onto the canvas as if I am mapping out the inter-working of my mind. --Lady Wisdom

Captain Nemo’s (Naseeruddin Shah) Nautilus Car - THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN (2003)
Captain Nemo’s (Naseeruddin Shah) hero Nautilus car from Stephen Norrington’s fantasy adventure The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. This car was used throughout the film as the League hunted down Moriarty (Richard Roxburgh) and was also featured extensively on the film’s posters.
The massive car was one of only two custom made especially for the production. This particular vehicle was the complete running version and was designed by production designer Carol Spier. The other unit was designed for insert shots and featured an attached scaffold for filming close-ups of the actors.
The car is based on the chassis for a Land Rover fire tender, onto which a steel frame was fitted along with a Rover V8 engine, six wheels measuring 72 cm (28½”) in diameter and a massive fibreglass body. Hydraulics are mounted within the wheel arches to allow greater clearance during driving. Detailing applied to the body includes headlights and embellishments representing the Hindu god Ganesha at the vehicle’s front. Within the cabin, custom trim styled after flora and fauna line the doors and control panel, which has the donor vehicle’s functional dials fitted. A faux leather interior is capped off with a ̔silver̛ band running around the tops of the seats. The car’s body and panels are finished in an ivory colour, with the mouldings and detailing showing a worn ̔gold’ finish.
The car retains most of its original functionality and shows signs of wear and evidence of running repairs from on-set use. In spite of this wear, the car is in running condition. This vehicle is not legal for use on UK roads and is not suitable for conventional road driving. No warranty is made or implied as to its roadworthiness or mechanical condition. Dimensions: 662 cm x 280 cm x 140 cm (260¾” x 110¼” x 55”) £40,000-60,000 [Credits : Propstore]

Ceramic Coral Reef by Courtney Mattison
Our Changing Seas III is the third piece in a series of large-scale ceramic coral reef sculptures by artist Courtney Mattison. The sprawling installation is entirely hand-built and is meant to show the devastating transition coral reefs endure when faced with climate change, a process called bleaching. She shares via email:
At its heart, this piece celebrates my favorite aesthetic aspects of a healthy coral reef surrounded by the sterile white skeletons of bleached corals swirling like the rotating winds of a cyclone. There is still time for corals to recover even from the point of bleaching if we act quickly to decrease the threats we impose. Perhaps if my work can influence viewers to appreciate the fragile beauty of our endangered coral reef ecosystems, we will act more wholeheartedly to help them recover and even thrive.
Our Changing Seas III is currently on view at the Tang Museum at Skidmore College through June 15, 2014.

You know what’s really cool? Victorian Diatom art. When microscopes were first invented, wealthy people used to arrange diatoms (which are microscopic algae) artfully on slides and give them as gifts.
I’m getting a sewing machine for my birthday/Christmas from my mom, and I think my new hobby is going to be making diatom quilts. Because I think that sounds really cool. And because I need something to occupy myself now that my grad school applications are in. And because I’m a huge nerd.

“Athena” by Daria Theodora
10″x16″; graphite and digital color
www.xintheodora.com
For the 2016 Month of Love challenge: Hero.
It’s that time of the year again: February, the month of love. I was conflicted for a while of who should I choose for “Hero”. But I kept returning to Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, courage, and war strategy, among her other roles.
To be honest, I first heard about her from the classic anime Saint Seiya, and I’m talking about the classic old series from the 1980s. It was my most favorite childhood anime, and they remain my favorite superheroes. Shout out if you know what I’m talking about.
