Learning and Reimagining the Tarot: First Card – The Hanged Man

By Giania • Jan 24th, 2010 • Category: Featured

Hot:

This first card was challenging. Back on the 13th, when I first set down my intentions for this project, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do. I spent the next ten days reading things, assimilating concepts, arguing with myself, and cutting up magazines with the thought of doing [...]



Learning and Reimagining the Tarot: Introduction

By Giania • Jan 13th, 2010 • Category: Featured

Hot:

The premise behind this project is very simple:

Choose a Tarot card (only shuffling for the first draw).
Dissect the visuals on the card and write down their most basic symbolic elements (from opinion/personal preference).
Look up details of that Tarot card from tarot books, 777 and other cross-cultural references.
Create a visual and/or written interpretation of the card.

“There’s an implied obligation of those (myself included) who own these nuggets of history to share them, not squirrel them away in some dusty shoebox only to risk oblivion via flood, fire, or neglect.”- Gary

Nobody Expects The Spanish Inquisition! (In Lego)

By Giania • Nov 6th, 2009 • Category: Art

Hot:

This is what happens when cultural icons collide, in many colorful, delightful ways.
Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition sketch has stood out from their amazingly memorable show (Monty Python’s Flying Circus! Go watch it on Netflix or something), and has blossomed into a lasting cultural reference, at least among the geeks.
Here we see that reference applied [...]

By Giania • Oct 11th, 2009 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

As a retrospective I’ve decided to dump (nearly) every picture I took. There’s a mix of travel photos, some repeat photos from previous posts, and photos of Portland. Click on the thumbnails below for the big version. And the photo on the detail page for the extra big version.
Also I just remembered that the first [...]



Portland Travelogue Part 2: Phantasmagorical Food Awesometown & Don’t drink the mouthwash

By Giania • Oct 1st, 2009 • Category: Potent Potables

Hot:

So here it is, Thursday morning. I’d like to talk to you for a moment about food, and some crappy absinthe, but first, food.
There may have already been some food (and general trip) related photos, so make sure you’re keeping tabs on my flickr, which I didn’t even know that ping.fm posted to until [...]

Lovecraft Film Festival. What follows are a few selected tweets (in chronological order), and my hand-written journal entries. Each will [...]



The Craigslist Posting That Will Almost Certainly Never Be

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2009 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Disclaimer-by-way-of-Prologue – I sat down and thought to myself: “Suppose I was to solicit some kind of bodily coupling through something like craigslist, in an area where these kind of services are clearly not at their peak usefulness?” This is the result of that thought process. (I may have also been letting my mind wander [...]
