My Interest in William Blake's Birthday

I saw today on Roger Ebert's Blog that it is William Blake's Birthday!

I knew vaguely about William Blake from my college days, but just recently I became interested in finding out more about his work because of this man:


So thanks  to Spooks (MI-5) and the character of Lucas North, played by RICHARD ARMITAGE  now I know more about Blake's work and find his artwork especially interesting:




William Blake (1757-1827) was a fascinating figure and ahead of his time.  Find out more about him HERE.

  2. Lovely post! I like the Lucas grin you picked too and of course same thoughts as Scarlett for the skin shots *THUD*

  3. Oooh Fabo..you chose one of my all time fav 'tattoo' pix of Lucas. Makes me melt everytime I see it.

    I've just had an unsettling experience at the allthingsrarmitage. At first I was excited to see a new follower listed in friend connect. Checked to see if the person had their own blog, BUT was startled to find links to porn sites and pix listed in their profile. Not a female. It took some time & research, but I've finally discovered how to make certain that type of material is not linked to your blog. It's the first time this has happened. Hope RA's accelerated fame doesn't make it more frequent.

    Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas(or Happy Holiday) and a prosperous New Year :)
