I followed a link from somewhere onto BibliOdyssey a few weeks ago: I don’t recall what I saw there, the first time, but it went in the bookmarks straight off. It’s a blog dedicated to collecting atmospheric imagery from one obscure source or another. Beyond that, I’m unable to discern any theme to the blog, except that whoever is doing it has a really good eye for the evocative eye-candy. This image here is from Doodles, Drafts & Designs, an exhibition of industrial design and aesthetics at the Smithsonian site. But lately there’s been a very tasty collection of Egyptian illustrations (actually Egyptological documentary illustrations, rather than original artefacts) and a few cherries picked from a huge repository of Gnostic illustration and other material. Nobody did atmospheric and baffling illustration quite like the Gnostics and their followers.
