The artist has funded the purchase and restoration of the building and will pay for the new museum himself, he says. The Brown Collection, as the space will be called, is a stone’s throw from the Wallace Collection, whose paintings have been the source for some of Brown’s best-known works. In time, he will bring them together with works by historic artists in his private collection. The British painter and sculptor-who we interviewed for the 50th episode of our A brush with… podcast-will show paintings, sculptures and drawings he has kept from across his career in a house in Bentinck Mews in Marylebone, central London. The artist Glenn Brown will open a museum of his own work in London during Frieze Week in October. ![]() ![]() "A thrilling, inventive, book-lover's delight." -Matt Haig, author of The Midnight Library ![]() If you love books, you're going to LOVE this book!" - Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mr. Lemoncello would love to go bookwandering at Pages and Co.

Ram Dass is still teaching, over fifty years after his transformation from acid guru to… well, actual guru. You can stream or download them at Apple Podcasts or at the Be Here Now Network, named for the teacher’s radical 1971 book that gave the counterculture its mantra. There are 150 of those talks now on the podcast Ram Dass Here and Now, with introductions from Raghu Markus of Ram Dass’ Love Serve Remember Foundation. “Yoga, organic foods, the Grateful Dead,” and psychedelics-“all of them are back in fashion,” and so are Ram Dass’ talks about how we might find clarity, authenticity, and connection in a distracted, technocratic, polarizing, power- and personality-mad society. Ram Dass’ moment has come again, “as the parallels between today’s fraught political environment and that of the Vietnam era multiply,” writes Will Welch at GQ. But Ram Dass is a true subversive, who asked us, through all of the religious, academic, and psychedelic trappings he picked up, put down, and picked up again at various times, to take a good hard look at who we’re trying to be and why. “I think that the spiritual trip in this moment,” he said in one of his hundreds of talks, “is not necessarily a cave in the Himalayas, but it’s in relation to the technology that’s existing, it’s in relation to where we’re at.” It might sound like a friendly message to the status quo. ![]() ![]() ![]() For the simple reason Lance didn't know how to talk to Poppy. There interaction especially in the beginning was cute. I love how she is the one who can break down Lance's defenses making him happy. They reconnect because Lance needed a massage therapist, and though he was didn't want to he went. I loved Poppy in how she knew Lance before he became a hockey player. The actual love interest had a little camo in the second book and came back to help Lance with his problems. However reading this book will change your mind quick. Tash in the beginning of the series didn't seem bad person, and I even thought she may be a good choice for Lance. Not all of it was thanks to Tasha but she's sure as hell didn't help. He also has a thing about being touched and is really broken. However he is also loyal and loves gummy bears which makes me smile at childlike he can be. However though he likes to fight, and sleep with a bunch of bunnies. Lance has always been my top Pucked male and not just because of his ascent. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of The Washington Post's "10 Best Graphic Novels of 2018"Ī School Library Journal Best Book of 2018Ī 2019 Hugo Award Nominee, Best Graphic StoryĪ Harvey Award Nominee, Best Children's or Young Adult Book LA Times Festival of Books 2018 Book Prize Winner, Graphic Novel/Comics ![]() With interwoven timelines and stunning art, award-winning graphic novelist Tillie Walden creates an inventive world, breathtaking romance, and an epic quest for love.

This would not have helped Sayers’ poisoner either, as large gritty lumps of arsenic in a meal would have been noticed and the victim unlikely to eat it.īut science moves on. It has also been suggested that these arsenic-consuming individuals were in fact eating large lumps of arsenic that would not have been absorbed completely into the body and excreted largely unchanged. If this was the case the Strong Poison plot would not have worked. Perhaps chalk was substituted by the arsenic eaters, or the samples of arsenic taken were impure. ![]() Some of these arsenic eaters, wheeled out in front of audiences like fairground attractions, would eat quantities of arsenic normally considered fatal with apparent immunity.īut more recent science has dismissed the idea of building up a tolerance to arsenic. There would still have been damage to health, but this may have taken months or years to appear. One of the diners would then be able to eat a normally lethal dose of arsenic without cause for concern.Īrsenic eating was something of a fashion in 19th century Europe as it gave glossy hair and flawless complexions. When Sayers was writing Strong Poison, it was thought that developing an arsenic tolerance was entirely achievable by eating small mounts of the poison over a period of weeks or months. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Marvelman series continued for more than 300 weekly issues after the change, alongside spin-off titles like Young Marvelman and Marvelman Family. The speedy makeover by writer/artist Mick Anglo might not have been particularly artful - kid reporter Billy Batson, who transformed into a super powered adult after saying the magic word “Shazam” became kid reporter Micky Moran, who transformed into a super powered adult after saying the magic word “Kimota” both superheroes had the word “Marvel” in their name - but it was successful. His first appearance in 1954’s Marvelman #25 was the result of some behind-the-scenes shenanigans intended to keep fans reading a British Captain Marvel reprint series after the source material was no longer available. When Miracleman originally debuted, he was called Marvelman, but that’s only half the story.
