Not too long ago I read the autobiography Kaffir Boy by Mark Mathabane. Its about the author growing up in apartheid Alexandra, South Africa. The Arabic word kaffir is South Africa’s equivalent to nigger. The book begins in the mid 1960’s. South Africa’s regime is like the United States government after reconstruction.

Some time last year in the month of July, I gave the TMG website a facelift and in the process, I lost an archive of content. For a minute I’ve been procrastinating on reposting old features. “The Hostile Apostle, featuring artist, Peter Adamyan,” “One-Legged Pedestal,” “Luigi Serafini’s Codex Seraphinianus,” “Fun Facts: The Federal Government Shut-Down of October 2013,” and the “Madame Tutli-Putli” film review were dug out of an old hard drive.

Codex Seraphinianus is a 400-page book written in an imaginary language accompanied by illustrations that seem to be of a remixed earth. Italian artist and former architect, Luigi Serafini made the book as an attempt to get out of the art gallery scene .The pen-and-ink and colored-pencil images seem self-explanatory.
