This week's episode of Curio is inspired by a recent screening of the first four episodes of HBO's Run. The series is so unusual in its pacing, withholding, character work, and sense of untethered possibility that it's difficult to say what it might amount to once the season (or series) is a wrap. On a scene by scene basis, though, it's a thrill. That's due at least in immeasurable part, to the chemistry between series stars Merrit Wever and Domhnall Gleeson. Neither of them are generally tasked with selling this kind of romantic comedy / sexy yearning and the series is all the better for that. So fresh!
With today being Domnhall Gleeson's birthday, let's look at how arts and crafts people capture his ginger gorgeousity...
Original watercolor, for sale from Yellow Salamander.
The same artist (don't know their name but they go by Keidy-111)
Here's an About Time themed pillow in case you want to lean your head against Domhnall.
And speaking of pillows this one is for the truly obsessive Domnhall stans.

A portrait study of his role in Goodbye Christopher Robin.
And naturally a lot of the art is Star Wars related -- that happens to every actor that steps into that galaxy far far away.
Absolutey love this illustration by Ajgieli.
And since all genre fandoms eventually lean hard into slash fic, here's an intimate moment with Kyro Ren and General Hux.
And if you search for any variation of the names Kylo and Hux online (together) you'll get lots of queer drawings of their relationship like this one found at inchells reblog blog (though I'm not sure who the artist is. Apologies!) The #kylux tag on that tumblr suggests there's a way to buy these drawings or a pre-order book or something but I wasn't able to find a link (not sure how any artists sell their wares on tumblr since links and credits as to who created things are practically anathema on tumblr for some reason!)
BUT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL POINT. ARE YOU WATCHING "RUN"?
