Welcome to the flamboyantly colorful home of creative consultant Max Hurd. It's a redone London Victorian terrace home. Just look at this entrance hall. It's a contemporary take on a country home that Max did in collaboration with designer Benedict Foley.

The drawing room adjoins the library at the front of the house.

When Max bought this house, it was painted entirely in white.

From the library is a clear sight line thru to the kitchen.

The carved table is Burmese and I'm not sure if it was originally red or if Max & Benedict painted it.

Max kept the original kitchen, but may redo it in the future. Don't the tops of the cabinets look like a castle?

I wonder if this would look tacky if you gave it a castle theme.

The vintage chintz fabric on the banquette was found in remnants on Ebay and they've been intentionally placed not to match.

A guest powder room.

Circus-like painted doors to the bedrooms on the 2nd level.

The plaster shell holding the fabric above the bed came from Italy and the headboard was found on Ebay.

The wallpaper pattern is called "Tented Stripe" and gives a nod to the circus theme out in the hall.

The classic style toilet was found on Ebay.

Max's housemate's room has an American 19th century quilt on the bed. Another, damaged quilt, covers the headboard.

From Hugh's room the purple stairs to the attic are visible.

This rooms color scheme was inspired by a staff swimming pool in Hamburg.

And this is the owner, Max, sitting with his cat, Count Vronsky.

Hi,

I make period drama style gifs. If you use gif packs, please like and reblog them. Most of my projects are already ready, but every day I post no more than 190 gifs. Because that was the reason why my previous account was blocked.

I tried to make gif packs in a format more familiar to you with a link to a separate page. However, unfortunately, I did not succeed because of the large format of high-quality gifs.

I want to explain about color processing. Usually, I improve the contrast, brightness and saturation, but leave the naturalness of the film. I don't make the contours too sharp because I like the aesthetic of it looking like a natural image.

Ben Carruthers in Shadows (John Cassavetes, 1959)

Cast: Ben Carruthers, Lelia Goldoni, Hugh Hurd, Anthony Ray, Dennis Sallas. Tom Reese, David Pokitillow, Rupert Crosse. Screenplay: John Cassavetes. Cinematography: Erich Kollmar. Film editing: John Cassavetes, Maurice McEndree.

You probably have to like John Cassavetes's later movies more than I do to appreciate Shadows beyond its historical significance. Even the most-praised films in his oeuvre leave me feeling itchy and annoyed, wondering why he has to inflict his hysterical people on me. That said, there's an innocence about Shadows -- chaotic and scattershot as it is -- that I can relate to. It has some good moments: Lelia Goldoni's fresh beauty and the crushing scene in which her character's losing her virginity turns out to be painful and disappointing; Ben and his loutish friends cavorting in the MOMA sculpture garden; the painfully pretentious party-goers yattering on about existentialism; and almost any scene in which Rupert Crosse, playing Hugh's manager, is present, looming with amusement over the action. But though it captures something about the New York scene on the cusp of the 1960s that's as valuable as anything that Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut did for the Paris scene, I keep wishing it were like their films: more polished and focused. Maybe that's because Cassavetes was almost too much of an auteur, too self-conscious about being a rebel. Andrew Sarris, that connoisseur of auteurs, found him "an unresolved talent" who "hovers between offbeat improvisation and blatant contrivance. Somehow his timing always seems to be off a beat or two even when he understands what he is doing." There are those who think that Shadows misses the mark because it isn't about what it seems to be about: race and sex. But if I value the film for anything it's for its decision not to preach or postulate about those or any other topics. And because it loosened up American movies, foreshadowing the best of the early Martin Scorsese, like Mean Streets (1973) and Taxi Driver (1976).

Black Venera Lively Scripture Preview #1

(Maps above are not representative of the world at display here, they are just here to experiment some illustration schemes...)

As of the year 1202X, the planet of Angora emulates our 2020s but as a 'Holoscene Era' period decade, with key historical differences including but not limited to cultural and political matters.

The Bronze Age collapse being lesser reaching than in our world, library economy being somewhat more prevalent all across its history, insular period converting scrolls with great success to other mediums, high middle ages bringing vellum deque index card shareware libraries and the colonial period being less brutal / destructive thanks to a "mutualist French / rich Spanish / Chinaware" colonial system being widely implemented during their "early modern" period of global exploration, imperialisms and trading. Among more pre-20th century matters matters.

The Shoshoni Union never had any Wilsonian administration ever successful in taking hold of Shoshoni politics, making the current geopolitics far more sustainable and moderate. (Essentially, Theodore Roosevelt got elected in 1912 and then Charles Hughes in 1916, avoiding the full scope of Woodrow Wilson reach to the present day and solidifying a new progressive deal earlier)

Implying a second global war somehow took place a bit later after its equivalent counter part of their "World War 1", the Baby-Boomers of the early 50s oversee, adapt and create a long-term syndicalist deal that makes it an ecological-informed & longer-lasting inclusive solution. (Similar to what the Jakarta Method explains about Soviets' plan for economics before the JFK assassination's aftermath)

During the middle 1960s & entire 1970s robotics, computer networking and industrial automation become widespread sooner, allowing a class of autonomous robots to succeed as a functional force in the global market (think OGAS, Cybersyn, DECnet, Xanadu, hacker culture...)

And as such during the 1980s, massively assisting the human workforce in sapience rights, technical equality & computation sharing (avoiding the worst of managerial staff & bureaucrats) and empowering LGBTQ+ culture far sooner. Also, droid class androids spread during the 1980s and a couple of socialite autonomous governing grid modules are created then. Leading also to the rise of "GNU Hurd" as mainstream standard free software OS instead of Linux. (Not micro-kernel reshift then...)

During the very late 1990s & early 2000s, OpenXanadu wiki suite is created, benevolent GAI overlord gets implemented as well as nanotech synthetic-class androids. And the successful exploration of outer space, deep sea waters & other planes of existence finally initiates around then.

An increasingly Luddite harmonious movement forms due to the sheer break-neck pace of technical progress only to slowly decays due to the grid's calculated benevolence, making sure such vast high technical stacks are facultative and mostly distributed as needed, mostly in urban areas.

Major Shoshone innovations being shared and iterated sanely upon among cooperative agencies and government branches (think open culture, free software and transparent economics coming quite earlier on), making them super competitive compared to other civilizations;

(1910s-onwards electric cars legacy, artificial recommendation search agents, varied networking paradigms, programmers' learning space, baked-in memory transistors, open hardware fabrication laboratories, exploration of the human mind, preservation of the elderly by memories, RadioVideoTex, Wax cylinder phonological records, 45rpm autoplay vinyls, large interactive Laserdisc disk-based storage in the 1970s, synthetic servants, smart terminal video telephones, universal basic income, generous social welfare programs, youth educational programs, nuclear fusion energy, biological engineering, cooperative lending banks widespread, rural modular decentralization ongoing, liquid democratic feedback systems, systemic benevolence, slower growth yet durable thoughtful and lasting, naturalistic pseudo-knowledge studies, affordable housing and higher education, witch coven acceptance, a tad bit less overall taxation, morphological freedoms, knowledge symbolic banks, video telephones... so some optimistic solarpunk historical background vibes.)

Cultural trends going from great sorrow and darker introspective tones in the 1910s (World War 1) to solarpunk exovert vibes with Cenozoic and full-on syndicalist vibes in the 2010s

Asceticism being a major religious tradition across the globe, with several major religions cooperating over a creation studies' standardized system, among other traditional matters worth investigating.

Super malls, video borrow stores, tabletop gaming clubs, both cozy & violence video games, powerful user content editors, radio communications & compatibilities, POSIX computation standards, Lisp symbolical machines, micro-districts, tribal neighbourhoods, pseudo-graphical teletypes...

Some specific products being the SENA DreamVast, Sanyo 3DO, TurboFx handhelds, VoxPopuli MagnaOdysee, Kwakee, Prospero, PacoMacroLisp, PeerMicroLisp, Mirage BayaMaths, LibreTUTOR, Sifteo VMUs, LibreNova, CLADOgrams, ParadeFS, RD document type, RASS data feeds, "Olivettu" Shuffle music player, SPARC Voyager compact computer, MD physical data format, analog programmable DVR, Kien Imagineers (USD Pixar + Corel), Ninevo N128 + Vuya + 2DSi, Spline, Gachaupon Toybox, Volkcomputer, SOL-40, Ural mainframes, MetaOCEAN agents, "Olivettu" Maxima Desktop computer, "Olivettu" Asnam-V modular smartphone, XYZ media plotter, "Valens" synthetic-tier modular androids women-presenting, "Konstanz" synthetic-tier androids men-presenting, Classic Offensive, Red Eclipse, Wyatt Energy, Didaktik...

Overall, the world being a more comfortable and less alienating place to live onto, with familiar parallels yet cozy inclusive differences that really step up the reality manifestation game. Not without some issues nor challenges, but a amazing alternative for long shifting journeys. Still with many quite familiar amenities but slower design timings and longer project development cycles for larger corporations... aiming to withstand time and avoid shortcuts more than bringing short-term dangerous profiteering-s. Also forget about Walt Disney's and all things of hyper-corporate implications type here considering that much public domain and elective project fundings shines bright here.

Small additional extra here, I try to imagine a few 16^12 scenes for manifestation & lively scenario reasons and among them is one where I am literally browsing a contemporary bookstore walking in hoof shoes with Ava on my side, which is funny because I literally helped in a bookstore last week and like, continue on Wednesday for that same family cousin lady person I have mutual appreciation of.

But ya, my actual "Black Venera" WIP writing is quite slow because I lack a handful of details and much visualization aids to really assist its expression and manifestation processes. And yes, I forgoe-s the calendar conversion for the time being, I will adjust many such small detailing-s later on. Especially as clarity and familiarity are key to get you to understand such a reality faster.

Hopefully things are ready on time for both my MTF manifestations and this desired reality / speculative realm revisions to actually present and stay on my reality radius. Until then though, take care of your lovely selves and farewell!
