Okay, so I stumbled upon this guy named Aidan Lane, and I thought, “Why not share my little adventure with you all?” It wasn’t some big project or anything, just me exploring and documenting what I found. First off, I started with the basics. Who is this Aidan Lane? What’s his deal? I did a bit of digging, you know, the usual Google searches and all that. Turns out, he’s connected to this whole world of “Discovering Aquinas” by Aidan Nichols. Sounds pretty heavy, right? But hey, I was curious….

You know, I’ve been collecting all sorts of things for years, but I’ve always wanted to get my hands on a real special piece. Well, I finally decided to go for it and got myself a Tiamat Goddess Statue. Let me tell you, this thing is a beast! The Hunt First off, finding this wasn’t a walk in the park. I spent hours online, checking out different collectible stores and auction sites. I read some stuff about Sideshow and Premium Collectibles Studio making these, and some limited edition ones by…

Okay, here is my sharing about armor chain: So, I’ve been seeing this whole armor chain thing pop up, and it got me thinking, you know? I saw someone asking about the best places to snag some chain mail – hauberks, mittens, the whole nine yards. And I get it, it all comes down to what you’ve got in your wallet and what you’re gonna do with it. One time, I had, like, 3700 gold in this game, and this sweet chain mail set was going for around 2K. I…

Today, I wanted to mess around with something a bit different, you know, get my hands dirty with some art deco wood stuff. I’ve always been a fan of that bold, fancy look, so I thought, why not give it a shot myself? So, I started by looking up some pictures online. Just to get an idea of what I was going for. That art deco style, it’s all about those geometric shapes and strong lines, right? And I saw a lot of folks using shiny stuff like brass and…

Okay, let’s get started on this thing. So the other day, I was trying to find something fun and relaxing to do, and I stumbled upon this idea to make an Alma Woodsey Thomas coloring page. If you don’t know who she is, she was this super cool artist known for her colorful, abstract paintings. I thought it would be awesome to turn one of her artworks into a coloring page, you know, for some chill time. First, I had to pick one of her pieces that I thought would…

Alright, so, let’s talk about this “controversial nude art” thing. It all started when I stumbled upon some article online about how nude figures are like, as old as art itself. I mean, I get it, the human body and all that, but I wanted to see what the fuss was about in today’s world. First thing I did was dive into some more reading. I found out that the word “nude” is supposed to be different from being just plain “naked.” Like, one’s supposed to be all artistic and…

Okay, so I was messing around online, trying to figure out what people wore way back in Charlemagne’s time. You know, the king of the Franks and all that, back in like, the 8th and 9th centuries. It’s pretty wild to think about how different things were back then! First, I dug up some info on who this Charlemagne guy even was. Turns out, he was a big deal! He was the King of the Franks starting in 768, then he became King of the Lombards in 774, and finally,…

Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this idea about the “worst” Greek gods, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started by just, like, Googling around, trying to get a feel for who the usual suspects were. You know, the ones people always rag on. Digging into the Dirt I made a list of names that popped up a lot: Cronus, Zeus, you know the big guys. Then I found some of the less famous ones, I started digging into their stories. I mean, really…

Okay, so I’ve been digging into some history lately, specifically about Abraham Lincoln, and I stumbled upon this whole thing about eulogies given for him after he was assassinated. It’s pretty heavy stuff, but also super interesting how people reacted back then. I started by just reading up on what happened around the time of his death. You know, getting the context right. So, apparently, one of the first big public eulogies was held in Hanover Square in Syracuse on April 19th, 1865. Lincoln was shot less than a week…

Okay, so, today I wanted to talk about something a bit different, something that really got me hooked recently – the whole “shaman jaguar” thing. I’d heard about it in passing, you know, the usual whispers about ancient traditions and spirit animals, but I never really dug into it. Then, a few weeks back, I just dove right in. I started, like most people do, by just looking stuff up online. I read about how jaguars are seen in some cultures, especially in parts of South America, as these super…
