Conferences and CFPs
Hello! Could you guys help me with conferences/calls for papers? I tried searching for them but, I think, I've failed. I'm looking for international or just conferences that are in English language since this is the only option for translating my humble reasearches from my mothertongue. My field - st James of Zebedee (Santiago), his iconography, and medieval northern Spain at all. Thank you!!

G'day, fellow reptile lovers, has anyone found it weird that there isn't a picture of a dragon with both a purple wing & a yellow wing? I know there's combinations, but not mauve sometimes. So, can someone make a yellow version of this & mauve-coloured goat horns on a black hair girl's forehead?
