Making Visible is a collection of findings by Dan Schmidt. Nothing can replace an “actual” journal, but this collection of art, music, science and cultural miscellany will do just fine as an online outpost.Tumblr (3.0; @makingvisible)http://makingvisible.net/<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkz45mKF2u1qifw9zo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://snowce.tumblr.com/post/18202976051/bo-bartlett-manifest-destiny" target="_blank">snowce</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.bobartlett.com" target="_blank">Bo Bartlett</a>, <em>Manifest Destiny</em></p> </blockquote>http://makingvisible.net/post/18206961512http://makingvisible.net/post/18206961512Fri, 24 Feb 2012 16:40:43 -0500Bo Bartlettpainting<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lznww0rke21qbv4q2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://snowce.tumblr.com/post/18176463700/mark-rothko-in-his-studio" target="_blank">snowce</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Mark Rothko in his studio.</p> </blockquote> <p>Maybe he just sat there all day until he saw colors?</p>http://makingvisible.net/post/18187876416http://makingvisible.net/post/18187876416Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:24:27 -0500Mark Rothkopaintingstudio<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv6pchfXBf1r0n5hao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://jb-andreae.tumblr.com/post/13498690545/mozart-sneezes-by-milton-glaser" target="_blank">jb-andreae</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Mozart sneezes, By Milton Glaser</p> </blockquote>http://makingvisible.net/post/18132387440http://makingvisible.net/post/18132387440Thu, 23 Feb 2012 11:05:16 -0500Miltn GlaserIllustrationMozart<a href="http://media.skysurvey.org/interactive360/index.html">The biggest photo of the night sky ever taken – 360-panaromic view composed of 37,000 separate photographs</a>http://makingvisible.net/post/18092317879http://makingvisible.net/post/18092317879Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:36:51 -0500wowsciencespacestars<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzfq3nF0HZ1qalawwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://un.tumblr.com/post/18080969211" target="_blank">un</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://iamathiefdiary.tumblr.com/post/17654802148/illustration-blues-legends-by-robert-crumb" target="_blank">iamathiefdiary</a>) <strong>ILLUSTRATION </strong>: Blues legends by Robert Crumb</p> </blockquote>http://makingvisible.net/post/18082326536http://makingvisible.net/post/18082326536Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:40:38 -0500bluesillustrationRobert Crumb<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzr61jNXnB1r196nto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://makingvisible.net/post/18026195412http://makingvisible.net/post/18026195412Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:00:06 -0500spaceNASAhistory<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyupge0Mxe1r8n0lao1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hioutsidevoice.tumblr.com/post/17013424970/illustrations-by-guy-billout" target="_blank">hioutsidevoice</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Illustrations by <a href="http://www.guybillout.com/NewFiles/thumbnails.html" target="_blank">Guy Billout</a></p> </blockquote> <p>Billout is like a jedi master of illustration.</p>http://makingvisible.net/post/18024055857http://makingvisible.net/post/18024055857Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:23:41 -0500Guy Billoutillustration<a href="http://theoatmeal.com/comics/game_of_thrones">I tried to watch Game of Thrones and this is what happened -

It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called ‘leaves’) imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person - perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic.”<br/><br/> - <em>Carl Sagan on books, from <em>Cosmos</em> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://irunfrombears.com/" target="_blank">irunfrombears</a>)</em>http://makingvisible.net/post/16861254874http://makingvisible.net/post/16861254874Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:32:28 -0500Carl Saganbooks<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxlkv0Zu011r1pirho1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxlkv0Zu011r1pirho2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxlkv0Zu011r1pirho3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxlkv0Zu011r1pirho4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxlkv0Zu011r1pirho5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://meepmeepmeep.tumblr.com/post/16593679980" target="_blank">meepmeepmeep</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://pizzajoint.tumblr.com/post/15628416397/the-slav-epic-by-alphonse-mucha-set-4" target="_blank">pizzajoint</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Slav Epic by Alphonse Mucha</p> <p>Set #4</p> </blockquote> <p>badassery</p> </blockquote> <p>These are pretty epic.
