Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) I'm going to be posting various things about Maurice Sendak for the next 7 days. Call it my own way of sitting Shiva for Sendak. Is there such a thing as "blogging Shiva"? Though I knew and...Sendak x7Tom2012-05-10T12:12:17-05:00Connick Glass at MIT Promo Video
http://www.krepcio.com/vitreosity/archives/002208.html
I like much of the stained glass of Charles Connick, but not above other 20th century stained glass designers. I like Connick's work when it's leaning more toward a "20th century illustrative" style, rather than the standard American Gothic Revival...Tom2012-04-24T14:09:42-05:00Judith Schaechter at Eastern State Penitientiary - New Videos

I've posted about the Dome of Light before, but somehow missed this video. link via @IGGAChat Wind, Fire and Time I like the Dome of Light.
