    • Who can resist a vignette inspired by John Milton’s Paradise Lost? I can’t.

    Here’s the full Milton quote that inspired this gorgeous vignette by Steve Vargo:

    Him the Almighty Power
    Hurled headlong flaming from th’ ethereal sky
    With hideous ruin and combustion down
    To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
    In adamantine chains and penal fire,
    Who durst defy th’ Omnipotent to arms.

    If Lucifer falling aflame from on high isn’t cool enough for ya, here’s another great scene from Steve, featuring my favorite mushroom, Amanita muscaria:
