There has been a slow accumulation of evidence over the past 3 or 4 decades that the drive wheels of the agricultural revolution in the neolithic was spurred, not by the effort to build a food surplus but instead to control beer production required for rituals, probably funereal rituals, and a transition from ancestor worship to diety worship requiring larger community "potlach" type feasting.
been chilling with water colors and prismacolor pencils. Working slowly through two color and cut books of european houses for Ornria games and diorama photo stories. Here is a bakery half done, you can see how the left fascade looks with pencil over the watercolor. The right fascade or rear of the house has only the raw watercolor.
primitive film, exhibitions, panoramas, and the like. Here is the script of a show about Teddy and San Juan. Sadly the original images are lost, but It seems to have been a form of candle-lantern type slide show with some kind of film component provided by the Great Stephen Crane of Red Badge of Courage fame.
