I didn’t like having to explain to them, so I just shut up, smoked a cigarette, and looked at the sea.

After being struck by a car in January 1932, Winston Churchill found himself laid up in New York during Prohibition. He convinced his attending physician to write the prescription above. “I neither want it [brandy] nor need it,” he once said, “but I should think it pretty hazardous to interfere with the ineradicable habit of a lifetime.”

Handmade Constellation Jewelry 

Belgian boutique Vdeux specializes in metal work, which explores the beauty of the archaic, of nature and our ancestors through her contemporary designs. Originally trained as a fashion designer, the store’s owner “Veronica” decided to translate her relic inspirations into handmade accessories. With a newfound passion and profession, she confesses:

I make jewelry as a way of researching subjects and ideas that move and interest me. Recurring themes in my work are: the soul of beautiful old objects, childhood memories, our ancestors, the ice age, nature, the night sky and the star constellations.”

The astronomical pieces pay homage to Greek mythology and its mystical and romantic meanings. You can find The Big Dipper, Orion, Aries, Taurus, and Leo among other asterisms and constellations in her Etsy shop.

Redmer Hoekstra is a pretty good illustrator who has a thing for finding the sweet spot between two utterly irrelevant things (like the owl book from owls and books; and the car hand from a hand and a car) and putting it down as a mashed-up art sketch. These works are so, so, great.
