St. George painted by Raphael located at the Louvre in Paris.

In Sylum Neal Caffrey is Raphael.  So the irony in the stories is that Neal stole his own painting.

St. George is the Patron Saint of England. He’s mostly depicted as an English Knight taking on a dragon (Draco the Dragon doesn’t find the painting very pleasing).

Irony – St. George is Roman.

Nico finds this hilarious and calls every St. George’s Day to remind Arthur that England’s Patron Saint is in fact Roman.

There are actually two paintings.

St. George and the Dragon by Raphael located at the National Art Gallery in Washington DC.

Sylum Inspiration: Dachshunds (Merry & Pippin)

You’re introduced to Merry & Pippin in Clan War (you’ll see more of them in the 10th Anniversary Edition).

The reason of showcasing Dachshunds is mainly because I had two of my own.

They are adorable, smart, stubborn, and only like other dachshunds and dachshund owners aka slaves.

For a while now we’ve hinted about the Transformers.

Optimus Prime has even been seen in two Sylum Videos.

Coming Soon

Teaser Trailer: To Rise and Rise Again

Optimus has been very inspirational for future storylines.

And is now awaiting his big debut.

The Impala is important in Sylum because it’s Sam & Dean’s home.  Even though now in Sylum they have a home – it’s there main source of familiarity.

There is another reason the Impala is featured, but I’ll let you figure out why that is.

Look to the right or is it your left….

Anyway – the Block Inspiration that we normal post photos of actors/actress that are in Sylum is going to be a bit different this year.

This year we’re going to showcase places, items, and animals that are seen in around the Sylum Universe.

For Example – this week’s Sylum Inspiration is a Janus Coin.  This coin is what Nico has in the door frame of the Manor.  An old Roman Tradition where Janus watches over your comings and goings.  (See archived story: Caretaker Series – Thomas Efford)

I’ll put out a blog post each Monday explaining what the inspiration is.

It’s a new way to showcase all those little things in Sylum that doesn’t get attention.
