HR Giger museum in Château St Germain, Gruyères has been on my bucket list for years and I finally got to visit it this year. Felt like a pilgrimage.
Had a chance to visit the Bibliothèque Humaniste in Sélestat, France in March of this year. Still thinking about it.
I’m going to finish this giant painting at some point, it’s not easy to be creative lately
Now is a good time to mention that we at TPLA started a lightsaber combat sport which turned into an actual sport of led fencing in France where we go to compete. Photos from Colmar, 2026. @usalightfencing.bsky.social
Second Goetheanum, Dornach, Switzerland, 2026. I’ve been told that Susperia by Dario Argento was based on this school. I believe it. This place has a VIBE.
Friday night moon. It’s cool that there are humans making their way around it on their way back to Earth today.
USA Lightfencing participated in the 3rd Lightsaber International Open in Colmar , France second year in a row. Here are some photos I took @tpla.bsky.social @usalightfencing.bsky.social #lightsabercombat #lightsabersport #ledsabersport
Back from France with this amazing find! Merci to Farfafouilles, coolest comics store in Strasbourg.
Surprise package arrived today, I forgot that I ordered The Eternaut re print from Fantagraphics a couple of months back. Made my day. @fantagraphics.bsky.social
Snowy evening, beware of the devil at the cross roads. It is starting to get a bit slick out there. It’s also St Andrews Night/eve, time for magic and fortune telling🕯️🔮🍎🧙
Another book for my TBR pile. Im seeking safety in a literary cocoon, building walls out of novels. Hoping I can escape to a different world and stop doom scrolling.
Finished reading The Last Day of Howard Philips Lovecraft, enjoyed the art and story. I admit, story is secondary for me when it comes to comics. Cool art is all I need.
This place serves very good pierogi 🥟 Dining room in the basement is like a place from another time or dimension. Drama.
I’m always in an emotional brain fog when I visit my hometown.My folks took us to the Artist Union gallery and the attached pool/music bar.Dad used to party here as a young man, many liters of vodka have been ingested according to him. I took photos instead of asking questions I wanted to, as usual
At least I managed to pack this book in my carry on bag and so it didn’t get lost by the airline. Does it matter which airline? They all suck. Reading it in its original language will be a treat. Crossroads of Ravens comes out in the English language version at some point this year.
Calling this one done for now. I lost the momentum to finish it and will be starting a new one from zero. Acrylics on canvas.
I swore that I wouldn’t buy any more comics. Showing friends the Vault of Midnight store in town was an opportunity to demonstrate restraint, oops.
