Splinters

Giornale Nuovo
Great entries on visual art and illustration (most have strong literary or textual components). Little-known works by the masters and masterful works by the little-known. Gorgeous images abound: the archives are worth a throughout perusal.

Mind Hacks
"Neuroscience and psychology tricks to find out what's going on inside your brain." Wide-ranging and often witty coverage. (I also nicked their "Spike Activity" heading for this "Irregular Spikes" thing.)

What is a Print?
Woodcut, etching, lithography, screenprint.

The Print and The Book
Nuremberg Chronicle, Night Thoughts, Les Voyages Pittoresques, Kelmscott Chaucer.

Buddhism and the Trade Routes
"Each wave of influence had its own specific elements that underwent a process of adaptation, adjustment, and reinterpretation by the genius of a particular area, resulting in images with pronounced ethnic and stylistic variations."
