At 27 years old, Shinri Tezuka may be one of the youngest people still practicing the dwindling art of amezaiku, or candy crafting, in Japan. The self-taught Japanese artist carves, sculpts and paints delicate lollipops into intricate edible sculptures. Amezaiku dates back hundreds of years, but today there are only two artists left in Tokyo. Tezuka hopes his elaborate goldfish, frog and octopus designs will inspire the next generation of candy crafters to keep the tradition alive.

Cleopatra
John William Waterhouse (1849-1917)

#i love this picture of cleopatra   #because she’s pretty enough but she’s not gorgeous   #the art is doing nothing to emphasize her beauty   #(there’s no exposed breast   #her clothes aren’t sheer and her face is actually partially hidden   #and she’s slumped over)   #instead the focus is that expression on her face   #and it’s not a cruel expression like you see with Lucrezia Borgia or paintings of Lady Macbeth   #the emotion there doesn’t exist for the audience to witness and determine her character from   #if anything she looks lost in thought   #not the dreamy type but like when you’re trying to figure out a difficult problem   #because you’re the Pharoah of Egypt and are holding off the Romans as long as you can   #I love this picture because I think this is the real Cleopatra   #it’s like taking a telescope and looking back in time at who she was and what she was like   #a dead-smart girl famous for her political maneuvering and cleverness   #not the poster child of evil beauty  (via @dark-haired-hamlet)
