Honestly like, shouldn’t post anything on here that isn’t a painting anymore, you really wouldn’t think that saying we should have more and better access to art would wind anyone up, you wouldn’t think that

I would like all Americans to understand that while if somebody’s says ‘I hate everything I’ve ever done and I want to die’ over there where you are, they might be attempting to solicit sympathy from you, but if I say it, over here, it’s basically just like saying hello

It’s the emblematic of the way paintings exist in culture, as essentially public art there isn’t the same culture of spending money on them like there is for music or literature, but as soon as something becomes popular it’s hoarded away and rationed back to us in postage stamp sized scraps

It’s crazy how inaccessible so many of even the most famous paintings are in a high quality format, like if Van Gogh is so important why doesn’t somebody use a tiny fraction of the money spent on his work to track it all down, take legible scans and archive that on the internet or in a book

To the orchard tomorrow! Before the heat!

The problem with films is that they’re so expensive that non of us will get the chance to make the odyssey, so everyone is cross when it doesn’t look like what they would do, but Christopher Nolan is a boring guy and it would be artistically dishonest of him to make something that looks interesting

I know I like a song when I keep turning the volume up every 10 seconds www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8jb...

obviously they're not that expensive that's why I'm getting them secondhand, but I did just pay almost double for one that had the dimensions actually listed even though I probably could have got it cheaper, you just never know

Bankrupting myself buying secondhand art books of unspecified dimensions

Another one. "Why's this drawing asymmetrical?" I hear you ask. Well, this drawing was originally intended to be a simple anatomy diagram in my book (back when the book was going to be a bit more educational).

People are always like oh no, don’t shave your legs! but you haven’t seen my legs and neither could I if I listened to you

this is sort of half a joke, but the history of Europe makes much more sense once you know that the most widely available psychoactive plants were deliriant nightshades

I never read anything by Kurt Vonnegut, from a quote to a whole novel, that didn’t wind me right up

I’ve discovered the secret to finishing a painting quickly, you just make more than half of it a single block colour

Splendid Fairy Wren (_Malurus splendens_) Watercolour & De Mairo genuine lapis lazuli Ultramarine on silk mounted on paper, 88 × 120 mm. The scan does no justice and flattens the subtly varied blues too uniformly. I tried to edit it as well as I could. 1/

It would be nice to get a few games of nightreign with people who aren’t absolute tiny babies before my internet runs out, it seems like a lot of players strategy is to hope they get matched with better players and quit when that goes wrong, they’re almost always the worst player, the ones who quit

is this what Christopher Nolan meant when he wrote 'you merely adopted the dark, I was born in it' or whatever that line is

thinking of pivoting to grey in my traditional work, I already have a couple of grey paintings planned out of necessity but maybe I'll lean into it if they work, little tired of people from one of the brightest countries on earth complaining about the dark

You aren’t allowed to complain that anything set in England is too dark or too grey
