"Ignis Factuus (will-o'-the-wisp) Revision 2" - Postcard

The 2 June 2025 theme for My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Ignis Factuus (will-o'-the-wisp)". I had created an art piece for it, and posted it to my blog, but I had not yet backed up my computer files, which I usually do once a week. Two days later, the Solid State Drive (SSD) Hard Drive failed without warning in the Dell computer that I bought 1 year and 1 month ago, and I lost two days of work. I was able to recreate my art piece, although this is not a 100% match.

I am still in the process of regrouping to determine how to move forward, so my online activity will be minimal until I get a new computer.

This piece is a little too soft and subtle to be scary, but I'm wrapping up my Halloween artwork for this season, so it was either post or delete this one.

"Hic Sunt Connecticut Map 1891" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved

(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Maps."

This postcard is meant to be funny, and isn't meant to offend anyone living in the four sections of Connecticut. (I actually made this in 2019, but never found the "right time" to post it.)

CJ (over at CJ & Ink), sometimes jokingly says that she went to the land of Hic Sunt Draconis (Here There Be Dragons) and explained that, "To a Bostonian, anything beyond the outskirts of the city belongs in the dragon realm." So when I made a day trip to Bara-Hack - Pomfret, CT, I said I had gone to Hic Sunt Draconis. A short time after that, I decided to make a map that defined regions of Connecticut with similar "Hic Sunt" terms. I used Google translate to get the Latin expressions:

here there be people
hic sunt populus
(because of its proximity to New York City)

here there be ghosts
hic sunt manes
(because of Dudleytown - Cornwall, CT)

here there be dragons
hic sunt dracones
(because that's what I called it when I went to Bara-Hack - Pomfret, CT)

here there be sea monsters
hic sunt mare monstra
(because I needed something, and it's along the coast, where everyone knows sea monsters lurk ;-)

I created this using GIMP 2.10.14.
