Ode to the Valkeyrie Vessel

The versatile, powerful, mechanized organisms had their time on this land. the force that ultimately led to their demise is still unknown to this day. Very little is known about these creatures. observations have shown that they were virtually invincible, they are encased in a shell that has the rigidity of metal, but did not react to magnets, and has a growing pattern like calcium.

The Mandalus Book

Mandalus is the third installment for the "Observations & Studies" series. It's based on a study of Tibetan thangka paintings. Originally, thangka painting became popular among traveling monks because the scroll paintings were easily rolled and transported from monastery to monastery. These thangka served as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and Bodhisattvas. This collection of illustrations are a result of my fascination of the technique, precision and dedication put into original thangka paintings.

What makes the "Mandalus" issue different from the rest of the O&S books is that it comes with a soundtrack based on the illustrations themselves.
