guardian spirit of the waters
Odilon Redon, Guardian Spirit of the Waters, 1878. Art Institute of Chicago.
A friend on Facebook has this up as her profile picture and I just love it, nearly as much as the Serafini Pulcinella flying on the clothesline.
When things loom, is must be Redon.(One way or another, escape is indicated.)

From the Bestiary: The Cliché-headed Blurb-backed Monster
[Image]
The blurb-backed monster made its debut here. In the last few days, s/he's grown heads made of clichés.
Please feed the monster in the comments*: lay out natural environment, food, enemies and so on.
Previous peeves include the use of phrases such as ROTFLMAO, but you'll just have to search, since I haven't tagged all posts.
Talking of peeves, my recent bugbears include 'relentless' and 'endless'. I only have to glimpse these two words to switch off - in most cases, it's a complete shut-down; but sometimes, if I like the writer, it's a temporary blackout that lasts a page (unless I really, really like the writer, in which case I can recover myself after about a paragraph or so).
Did I ever say I how discovered Serafini? Oh yes, I did.
