I thought so, LOL! Happy Saturday, Fiona. What's currently on your turntable?
If someone were to do this, would it give their step a spring? 🤔🤣

Thinking of Morris and his challenge to us in his lecture on 'Art & the Beauty of the Earth', delivered #otd 1881.

He declared 'I believe machines can do everything-except make works of art'.

It doesn't get more heartwarming than this, Fiona.
I hope someone writes a blog post, creates a Substack, or, even better, records a podcast episode about this event and the ideas that emerged from it.
Thanks to everyone that came and contributed to the Pre-Raphaelite study day yesterday.

Fascinating day and great to see so much energy, enthusiasm and expertise in the field of Pre-Raphaelite studies.

Defiance is going against expectations and doing what matters to you. This is Fanny Eaton, a woman of color who posed for the Pre-Raphaelites in Victorian England and was almost overlooked by art history. The link to my full blog post is in the comments. @preraphaelitesoc.bsky.social #scastio #art
I feel your pain, Fiona. I don't have a brother, but I'm always down for a fat piece of cake. 🍰🤣
Love the Rebel Rebel pin, Fiona. 🤩
I just signed up for this; I'm looking forward to your talk, Dr. Cooper.
Fi, these are stunning. The second one is begging to be turned into a painting.

#SwiftieSunday- a trio of posts of Taylor album covers and our Pre-Raphaelite pairings.

Taylor Swift’s first track on ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ is ‘Fate of Ophelia,’ and with this cover we can see the Millais and Pre-Raphaelite references clearly.

🖼️ ‘Ophelia’, John Everett Millais, 1851-52, Tate.
The past week has been a whirlwind. Amid all the excitement, I've written a new blog post sharing my thoughts on the week's events and what is to come.
Mystery. 2025. Pen and ink.

It's been an Amazing week. After months of patiently waiting, I can finally reveal that I am the subject of a five-page article, In An Artist's Studio, in the new issue of the Pre-Raphaelite Society's PRS Review. My sincere thanks to @zzaman.bsky.social and @preraphaelitesoc.bsky.social. #art
