Richard Hescox, “First Contact.” When I wanted to include this artwork in my art collection, I reached out to the artist for more information on where it was first published and got a surprising answer: Never. Hescox created it as a sample for his portfolio in 1975.

My art collection has a nice clean version of it in my section about gunfights in space. So, today is the first time this one has appeared in print!

Completely un-posed candid shot of Joan Crawford just chillaxing at home, sitting on the floor like a beatnik. I’m not even sure Crawford is aware her photo is being taken here. It doesn’t get more casual than this!

Missing Ancient Artifact ‘Stone of Nikouria’ Rediscovered on Amorgos

An ancient stone tablet bearing a historic inscription of the Resolution of Nikouria, dating back to the 3rd century BC, has resurfaced on the island of Amorgos after it had gone missing for roughly a century, Greece’s Ministry of Culture announced on Friday.

According to the ministry, the inscription was a key document about the history of the Aegean and was first discovered in 1893 in the Panagia Church on the islet of Nikouria, opposite Aigiali on Amorgos.

The priceless artifact had been temporarily transferred to a nearby stable where it remained until 1908, but then disappeared from view and its fate was entirely unknown. 

The announcement said that the text on the inscription, known from the time it was discovered first, concerns “a decision of the League (Koinon) of the Islanders’, a political union set up by the Ptolemys, to participate with official representatives in the feast and games organized by Ptolemy II in Alexandria in the memory of his deified father Ptolemy I the Saviour.
