I'm Wes. Wesanity is a word that describes my way of life, so I will blog about my life and how I live it, including stuff I enjoy, ideas I like, Wes humor, and everything in between. Enjoy everything.
Angus McKie’s illustrations of Trantor, the capital world of the Empire in Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series. The entire planet was one huge city. At its’ height, it required 17 entire agricultural worlds to do nothing but produce food for it.

Hasui Kawase (川瀬 巴水 Kawase Hasui, May 18, 1883 – November 7, 1957) was a Japanese artist. He was one of the most prominent print designers of the shin-hanga (“new prints”) movement. Kawase worked almost exclusively on landscape and townscape prints based on sketches he made in Tokyo and during travels around Japan. However, his prints are not merely meishō (famous places) prints that are typical of earlier ukiyo-e masters such as Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). Kawase’s prints feature locales that are tranquil and obscure in urbanizing Japan.
