The Fuller Anglo-Saxon Brooch, late 9th Century CE, The British Museum, London

This large Anglo-Saxon silver brooch is of extraordinary craftsmanship and perhaps belonged to a high-ranking churchman, or even a nobleman from the court of King Alfred the Great (871-899 CE). The central part is decorated with five figures representing each of the human senses. Sight is in the centre with large bulging eyes, and he is surrounded by Touch, Taste, Smell and Hearing, who can all be identified by their actions.

Paul Klee (December 18, 1879 – June 29, 1940), Dream City, 1921.

This is one of the three drawings in a series that I made some time ago, I will post the other 2 soon and possibly make more, creating them was a challenge because they are full body drawings and not just portraits with tons and of details and different textures but I wanted to try something new. I wanted to draw women who wear baggy and oversized clothes because I like to dress like this and I don’t see women like me represented in art enough so these drawings mean a lot to me

In May 1921, American polymath Walter Russell entered a 39-day coma-like state, during which he claimed to have accessed “the source of all knowledge.” Upon awakening, he frantically wrote down what he had seen — pages filled with philosophical, scientific, and spiritual revelations that would later form the foundation of his manuscript *The Universal One*. Though he sent his findings to 500 leading minds of the time, nearly all dismissed him as mad — except one. Nikola Tesla, the visionary inventor, was so struck by Russell’s insights that he urged him to seal the work away for a thousand years, insisting that humanity was not yet ready for its truths.

Walter Russell’s revelations reimagined the very structure of reality. He argued that matter was not solid but crystallized light slowed by thought — that everything around us, from rocks to human bodies, was composed of light patterns, shaped by consciousness. He believed the universe was fundamentally mental, not material, and that all things moved in rhythmic cycles — expansion and contraction, like breath. He dismissed opposites like good and evil as illusions, asserting instead that everything sought harmony and balance. To Russell, death wasn’t an end but the release of compressed light returning to its source. Even time, he claimed, wasn’t linear, but a spiral where past, present, and future coexisted.

These ideas were radically ahead of their time, blending metaphysics, wave dynamics, and a deep sense of universal unity. He believed electricity was a living spiral of energy, not merely electrons in motion, and that the vacuum of space was in fact a vibrant sea of untapped potential. Health, in his view, was the natural rhythm of the body, and disease was simply a disruption of that flow. Though ignored or ridiculed during his lifetime, Russell’s work now draws new attention in an era where quantum physics and consciousness studies begin to echo the same questions. To many, he is no longer a forgotten eccentric, but a prophet of a paradigm yet to come.
