Roman Skull: A Skilled Craftsman, The Yorkshire Museum, York, Yorkshire.

"This skull belongs to a man. Mineral traces in his teeth and bones indicate that he came from a hot environment, where he enjoyed a diet almost wholly comprising animal protein. His facial features imply that he looked quite different to the local population. Similar traits are found amongst the Berber people who inhabit parts of North Africa. These people are known to have travelled extensively within the empire in the Roman period. This man may also have travelled a long way before arriving in Eboracum.

Many of the finest mosaics in the Roman World still survive in North Africa. Ancient sources tell us that expert mosaic makers travelled the empire to meet the demand of wealthy patrons. Did this man come to Eboracum in search of work? Perhaps he designed one of the many beautiful mosaics unearthed in York?"

Started up another dimensions kit from my stash. I’m quite enjoying this one as I can finish a bird or 2 in a session which gives an immediate sense of accomplishment.

What a year #artvsartist #2022 Did a lot of things I’d never done but had been wanting to for a long time, and learned a ton. And perhaps most significantly, finally quit my shitty tech job and went full time into bookbinding! . . . #McCallCo #bookbinding #create #craft #craftsmanship #craftsperson #finebinding #theprocess #wip #workinprogress #bookbindingporn #leatherwork #magic #handmade #handmadeisbetter #blankbook #grimoire #bespoke #goldtooling https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9CUEPps45/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Made this little ladder mount to hold the clay sculpted ladder in an exhibit case. It's made from plexiglass that I laser cut from my own design on Illustrator. Then heat bent & adhered together with a plexi adhesive. The pottery & ladder will be traveling to Texas Tech for exhibit.

[mxmadius]

Hello and Welcome!

My name is Mx. Madius, but you can call me Mati if you'd like!

I'm in my late 20's. Keeping it vague for now but wanted to clarify that I am an adult.

I'm a nonbinary person and my pronouns are She/They/He (not particularly in that order)

Skills wise, I am an illustrator, graphic designer, amateur costumer, and all around general craftsperson.

Basically, I like making stuff and learning new ways to make stuff. I don't want to restrict what kind of things I share to this blog, so I'm keeping it open ended to 'things I make'.

I am also neurodivergent and disabled, both physically and mentally! It will come up a lot. I appreciate patience and good natured reminders!

I am not new to tumblr. I have been here for more than a decade. I just happened to get the gumption to create a new art blog at the same time that a lot of artists are returning to the website.

Asks will generally stay open!

A lot of my work features elements of darker parts of nature, death, horror, blood, nudity, and other things that may make folks uncomfortable. I will endeavor to tag things appropriately and mark any work that contains potentially sensitive/explicit themes.

Please let me know if I miss something, as I would like my work to reach those it brings joy and not harm others.

The sorts of things I make:

Digital Illustration

Traditional Illustration (colored pencil and marker mostly, but I dabble with paints every so often.)

Sewing/Clothing, particularly costumes.

Fashion/Costuming, which I feel is a creative endeavor on it's own.

Sculpting and Carving (clay, wood, thermoplastic, etc)

Printing (screen printing is my favorite, but I also enjoy linocut and letterpress, as well as whatever other kinds I can get my hands on.)

Upcycle/Refurbishing/Restoration. (I really enjoy finding cool things with good bones and turning them into something new, or even just giving it new life. I also enjoy scrounging through thrift and consignment shops, antique stores, garage sales, etc.)

Glass Crafts (Fuse glass and stained glass mostly. Kind of a new development.)

More Things! I like to experiment!

Links and Tags

I'll include some links to things here when I have them, but I'm intending to create a shop and commission info in the near future.

As the blog develops, you can check out these tags for certain things, as well as whatever type of craft will generally have it's own tag:

#about me - Self explanatory. Will be stuff about me.

#answered asks - If I answer an ask, I'll try to tag it with this as well as the url of the asker (if present)

#expanding skills - for any instance where I am either learning a new skill or experimenting with the skills I already have.

#my physical form - Pictures of actual person me. May or may not have a craft tied to them.

#tutorials - I do eventually want to make some tutorials/guides/tips and tricks sort of things.

A hatchet! The sky was awesome this afternoon. The handle is a strange purplish brown color which was difficult to photograph. #hatchet #suncatcher #stainedglass #tool #work #axe #chop #cut #artoftheday #sky #sunset #colorado #denver #toolbox #hobby #craft #art #glass #artglass #craftsperson #recycle #climatechange #eco #ecofriendly #upcycle #burythehatchet #charm #abstract #contemporary #blue (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CioSxhtOL_b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
