“Fish Pond mosaic by Gary Drostle. It's made of vitreous ceramic tesserae using a ‘reverse technique’ and measures 2 meters in diameter. Made for a small public garden in Croydon, Surrey, UK, it won several art awards.“ (via Archaeohistories at Twitter)

One of the panels of a mosaic of a cheery skeleton uncovered in Turkey in 2016, probably dated to the Late Roman era Antioch. The word can be transliterated as EUPHROSYNOS (cheerful).

For the last six months I've been working with designs for rugs instead of illustrations. This tiger image is an overly reworked sketch that I shouldn't have finalized, but I wanted to draw every little pixel, just like I have to do at work now. I'd like to reflect the synthesis of smooth line and broken pixel in a more meaningful way, but so far this is the most I've had the energy to do.

From Palestine in Pictures : A Byzantine-era mosaic floor that was uncovered recently by a farmer in Bureij, central Gaza Strip, is seen on 18 September. The farmer said he stumbled on it while planting an olive tree last spring and quietly excavated it over several months with his son. Experts say the discovery of the mosaic is one of Gaza’s greatest archaeological treasures, which are threatened by a lack of resources and the constant threat of Israeli violence.
