No directly Vaults-related content, just lashings of (laudanum-laced and phantasmagoric) braincustard:
Aeron at the Monster Brains blog (a top notch source for archaic-looking pics and inspirational braincustard) comes through with some nostalgia-inducing images from the AD&D Colouring Book. It's woodcut-tastic!
A Journey Round My Skull (your one-stop-shop for Poets Ranked by Beard Weight and Serbian Sesame Street) offers us some painterly faerie tale illustrations by Joan Kiddell-Monroe.
Kuksi sneers and says That's not baroque: this is baroque.
The Athenaeum presents 436 pics by German artist Albrecht Dürer (who cannot be praised highly enough, IMO).
Cabinet of Wonders (top stuff!) on the nexus of evil, deformity, disease and moral decay in western art, and how they often blend together.
The always-interesting Curious Expeditions spoils us rotten with the Victorian Art of Mourning, the macabre Cathedral of Antlers, and a heady draught of picturesque Ottoman depravity: eunuch executioners and slave armies, death by testicular compression, the infamous sultanate of women, and Sultan Ibrahim "I like big butts, and I cannot lie" Osman the Mad's wacky ways with the ladies...
Yep. That'll shift the old writer's block.
That kuksi link is awesome - especially as I'm a player of Epic 40k (although actually with the Future War Commander ruleset). I wish I hadn't thrown my bits box out, I know for a fact that what I had in there would have supplied the parts for a Churchtank like the one in that gallery. :(
