I illustrated this Valentine’s Day card in honour of the mighty Cthulhu. Could this elder god, descended from hoary stars in some eldritch dimension really be in love? His coy demeanour, coquettish eyes, and fully tumescent heart/cephalic chamber say YES! Give the gift that says, I love you

Thieves have carried out a well organised, pre-dawn heist at Greece’s biggest state art museum, taking two oil paintings by 20th century masters Pablo Picasso and Piet Mondrian, police said.
A police statement said the burglars, who entered the museum on Monday morning through a balcony door, also took a drawing by the Italian 16th-century painter Guglielmo Caccia. Another work by Mondrian was removed from the gallery in one of the best-guarded areas of central Athens, but the thieves abandoned it as they fled. Museum officials were unable to estimate how much the stolen works were worth.
Police said the heist took about seven minutes. The thieves had intentionally set off alarms on several occasions since Sunday evening without actually entering the building, prompting guards to disable at least one — via redwolf.newsvine.com
If they exist at all, most unglazed clay objects from ancient times are now rubble, mere fragments of their former glory.
This terracotta head, at around 2000 years old, is a rare exception. Excavated from a village in Nigeria, this is one of the best-preserved examples of its kind ever discovered. It is a product of the Nok culture that flourished from about 1000 BC to AD 500, when it mysteriously died out, and provides examples of the earliest figurative art in sub-Saharan Africa.
Archaeologists Peter Breunig and Nicole Rupp of the Goethe-University Frankfurt in Germany uncovered the head during the 2010 field season. It was found in Kushe, a small village about 150 kilometres north of the capital Abuja. Amazingly, this specimen was very close to the surface — only 60 centimetres down — via redwolf.newsvine.com
As children, these two had constant feuds after Calvin literally stepped into Christopher’s neck of the woods. That’s when the Battle began, the test of their imagination. Calvin would talk about his friend
and his abilities and Christopher would counter and say but can he…
it went back and forth between the two of them. As they grew older they grew in different directions. Calvin met new people and made friends — although his best and imaginary friend Hobbes
stayed with him all the way into adulthood. Christopher on the other hand became more introverted but made the characters he invented as a kid more apart of his character as he got older — via deviantART
