A couple years ago I discovered Dalí’s painting of Hermes and was obsessed with it. Recently stumbled over this painting of Medusa and I’m similarly enthralled.

i love paintings with monsters. I especially love walking around a museum and suddenly my sight is blessed by a gorgeous gorgon. An artist makes a lot of choices when depicting a monster. I find it interesting to gaze and ponder upon them.

i have a lot of posters on my walls, one of them is this painting. i learned about it in my a european history class i took in high school and have been obsessed since. i like to get lost in it. there are so many tiny details that are so fun to look at and wonder how he came up with it.

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
