I love the snarky tone of the blog! I'm totally drawn in...

I noticed the quote on the main page, "Et in Arcadia ego", which famously appeared on the pastoral paintings of Poussin. It means "I was also in Arcadia" and was being read off the tomb by some shepherds in the middle of a meadow. The message is about death/beauty - the dead person was also once in the beautiful meadow. Could be interesting to keep in mind in terms of theme...

Also here are the characters I've got so far:

Thomas Pickman: Narrator, Painter, 22 years old, formerly suicidal, love horror genre

Dad: Pushed Thomas to live in windmill, also love horror genre

Doc: Therapist, She doesn't want Thomas to live alone.

Jessica: Ex-Girlfriend, dated Thomas for 3 years, broke up because couldn't provide.

And, of course... whoever left the note.

We have a new blog entry: painting.html. Nothing much of note other than we find out Pickman requires shots (insulin?) and he thought he spotted someone walking through the woods.

A link has also been added to the main page that will lead directly to the newest journal article, something that will come quite in handy, I'm sure.

I have been trying to get into args and I really don't want to play one thats already legendary and this seems like a great one to start with. I will get digging and see what I can find.

Started following this yesterday. Very interesting and I like the possible Lovecraft connection. Any chance of seeing Thomas's had in the mouth of a dog? Laughing

I wonder if we'll see a Necronomicon before it's over, or some mention of Henry Fuseli for that matter.

I emailed him and just a email back! To provide some reason for my stalkerly email, I said I had written a thesis on Poussin.
Specifically, I asked about the quote, here is what he said:

Here's a segment from the other thread, we have the actual links but maybe the locations are significant?
