photo papersneakers: Flaco Mondrian - I created this with Mixel, my new favorite iPad app. Its kind of hard having less tools available than in photoshop; all you can do is crop, duplicate, resize, flip and rotate. But it forces you to plan out your compositions more and allows for some happy mistakes an imperfections. A good antedote to the sea of clean corporate uniformity that engulfs the internet. El Flaco Jimenez has played an active role in the Mexican-American Folk Music scene. He is globally known as one of the best according players in Tejano Music, and his style of Conjunto has its roots in early Ranchera music.

photo mediumaevum: The so-called “Dalmatic of Charlemagne”.Eleventh century. Gift of the Patriarch of Constantinople, Isidore of Kiev (1439) to Pope Eugene IV (1431-1447) The only medieval liturgical vestment kept in the Treasury of St Peter’s is this dalmatic. It is a masterpiece of the art of embroidery practiced in Constantinople during the eleventh century. It is not known how the legend grew that it was worn by Charlemagne for his coronation as Emperor in 800 CE. It is made entirely in embroidery with gold, silver and colored thread on blue silk with scenes from the Byzantine iconography of the ninth and tenth centuries.
