Medicinal Botanical Wonders.*

so now that i'm preparing myself for graduate school for botany and plant biology, i am trying to teach myself chemistry. yes, this is as hard as it sounds, but i keep getting distracted with the pretty pictures, as usual. it's pretty cool to think that botanists were illustrating these well over 100 years ago, but the plants are still exactly the same. if anyone knows the original botanical illustrator, please comment, since as of the moment i can't hunt his name down anywhere. thx.*

Vinyl Williams.*

so my homegurl told me about this dude's tumblr, vinyl williams, and now i'm seeing his work everywhere. i typically much prefer handmade collages to graphcally designed ones, but these are pretty nifty.*

OracleHeptaNauticalMaphradite: The Tumblr Revolucion!*

so i have been posting on tumblr way more than here recently, but i try to connect as much as possible. it is the current leading force among young people worldwide on the web. i thought i would share some of the best blogs on there. what's interesting is that it's not like flickr, where all your images are YOURS. it's about sharing, stealing, reblogging, and creating an entire aesthetic for yourself from images that are completely mysterious and unoriginal to you...then other people are like, "yeah, that's my aesthetic too!" and it goes on and on and on...the editing skills and visual maturation of these young kids around the world is incredible..check it for yourself.

heptagram: embracing the darkness...




and, last but not least, my own, beastly oracle: magickal trip outs....
