Here’s a comic about being in bed. In other news, I got an advance copy of my book The Listening Agent yesterday. It looks brilliant. If you’re the sort of person who likes books, you’ll love it.

Nice watercoloured/ inked illustrations

centuriespast:

Female Figure

Representations of female figures with highly abstracted forms occur throughout most of the Predynastic Period. On statuettes of this period, the legs are usually not articulated and the faces are beaklike. This rare undamaged example, one of the oldest works in the Brooklyn Museum, was found in a burial excavated by the Museum’s first archaeological expedition in Egypt. The symbolism, function, and identity of the figure are not certain. However, similar female figures painted on Predynastic vessels appear to begoddesses, because they are always larger than the male “priests” shown with them.
