Anatomy of Melancholy, 165-166: Subsect. X – Of the Understanding
In this subsection I learned that there are fourteen “species” of understanding, so I drew fourteen things: Now these notions are twofold, actions or habits: actions, by which we take notions of, and perceive things; habits, which are durable lights and notions, which we may use when we will. Some reckon up eight kinds of […]
Vampire Catwings
This is a drawing of a Catwings vampire. I made it to try to win some stickers on Instagram, because I am a real grownup. What are Catwings, you ask? I guess you were never an eight-year-old girl in the early nineties. Catwings is a pretty phenomenal series of illustrated starter chapter books by the […]
Extraterrestrial Skies: Mars
[I wrote (and drew) this on October 1, 2017 – the day that 58 people were gunned down by a mass shooter at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas. 851 people were injured. It was the deadliest mass shooting in US history, and it was a few days before my son’s […]
Anatomy of Melancholy, 162-165: Subsect. IX – Of the Rational Soul
What, is this not how you pictured your immortal soul? A pink glob with two more pink globs inside of it, that it may or may not have eaten? Well, today’s reading was about souls, and I didn’t really have much time to think about what souls might look like before I drew this masterpiece. […]
Circles
Once again, I am trying to “win” an Instagram “contest.” Or in Instagram-speak, I am trying to get another account to feature something from my account and tag me so that I get two or three more followers, which would be nice because every time I post an Anatomy of Melancholy illustration over there I […]
Anatomy of Melancholy, 160-162: Subsect. VII. – Of the Moving Faculty
Nothing too deep here, but I guess it is neat that humans can move around. Better than being a fungus or something. This moving faculty is the other power of the sensitive soul, which causeth all those inward and outward animal motions in the body. It is divided into two faculties, the power of appetite, […]
Sleep Zombie
This is a drawing of the sleep zombie. The sleep zombie will eat your sleep and your face, and she is also very tired. In other words, this is how I draw on extreme sleep deprivation: not very well and mostly zombies. So… hopefully I will do better next week. At least I drew… something…? […]
Anatomy of Melancholy, 159-160: Subsect. VII – Of the Inward Senses, cont., cont.
So the three inward senses are memory, phantasy, and common sense. I already drew phantasy and memory, and I guess this is a drawing of the common sense shark. This common sense is judge or moderator of the rest, by whom we discern all differences of objects. Are you scared of sharks? I would be […]
Anatomy of Melancholy, 159-160: Subsect. VII – Of the Inward Senses, cont.
Seriously, I am never going to finish this project if The Anatomy of Melancholy keeps making me have so many ideas. Given that I have exactly eight and a half hours of free time per week to work on this, I would say we are looking at approximately ten years until completion if I keep […]
Asshats
Suggestions? It’s been keeping me up nights. Not my best work, but this week has been a little bit of an asshat. Instagram, anyone? Facebook?
Moon Cat
No time for words or thoughts this week – and only about 20 minutes to draw – so here is a picture of Rosie, the feral cat who lives in our backyard. For some reason she is on the moon. It’s been a rough few weeks. Do me a solid and follow me on […]
Anatomy of Melancholy, 159-160: Subsect. VII – Of the Inward Senses
In this section Burton discourses on common sense, phantasy (or imagination), and memory. On imagination he writes: In melancholy men this faculty is most powerful and strong, and often hurts, producing many monstrous and prodigious things, especially if it be stirred up by some terrible object, presented to it from common sense or memory. In […]
Television
