Jerry would like you all to know the importance of balls.

What kind of morning are you all having?

“Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.” “What is it?” “You know when the ketchup has ketchup water? Luckily, I mopped it up before it infected my food.” I shouldn’t side quest on work calls.

I find myself missing the snow today.

On tonight’s episode of #ArtBecauseArt, I’m sharing William Degouve de Nuncques’s Nocturn in the Park Royal, Brussels (1897). It makes me want to go for a walk in the dark or find bulbs that feel like starlight.

Sitting here till dusk falls is becoming habitual.

...for a start.

The news is horrific, here’s a little moment with the blue tit that has taken to waking me up every morning by tapping on the window.

On tonight’s issue of #ArtBecauseArt, I thought I’d share with you one of the little gems from my teeny pulp magazine collection. Illustration by Virgil Finlay, from Startling Stories May 1953.

I’m just making tiny friends.

On tonight’s episode of #ArtBecauseArt, I offer up John Bauer’s The Princess and the Trolls (1913).

While @hugginscooper.bsky.social and I are building something secret, I wanted to share one element of what we’re going to be doing. Every month, we want to offer another creative a free website and the training to use it. No catches, just a feeling of being worn out with the corporate world.

Where do you all like to sit and write? I flux between a dark desk and spots like this.

River walks for Easter? Don’t mind if I do.

I wasn’t suspicious of my host moonlighting as the Easter bunny until this morning.

Skies blue enough to lull you into thinking there wasn’t a storm last night.

I know, I’m early, but the wind is wrapping her tendrils around the railway carriage, rattling doors, creeping through gaps, and trying to find her way in.

I think I measure an outfit’s success based on whether I feel prepared to go tackle mysteries of the esoteric and paranormal.

Tonight’s pick is more Odilon Redon because… of course it is. Below, I saw the vaporous contours of a human form (1896) always makes me feel that sensation of loneliness that feels like you’re losing your grasp on a little piece of yourself.

The 4% battery, it will be dark soon, internal battle in which reason says to go home, but dopamine really wants to explore.

I’m not doing a very good job of getting lost in the woods.

I wanted to find an excuse to look through more art, and felt sharing something I love every day might be the right way of going about that. To kick it off, here’s Odilon Redon’s The Eye, Like a Strange Balloon, Mounts Toward Infinity (1882).

Will I be hopping on the #20DayBookChallenge boat? Of course. Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

The sea didn’t swallow us, albeit the wind’s attempts to knock us into the rockpools. • @hugginscooper.bsky.social •

The world was loud, but I couldn’t hear.

What do I have to trade to live within such a tiny frame?
