People are always telling me “oh, Excalibur, it’s such a good film” but apart from a few nice visuals, what does an adaption of something written by land-stealing peasant-burning aristocrats have in it for me if it doesn’t attack its source

from this moment on I'm not engaging with any adaptions of post-domesday arthurian literature unless they engage with it's main role as pro-aristocratic, divide and rule propaganda

there's an interesting conflict around Norman Rockwells work where he was obviously using it to communicate a positive and caring message, but the way he marionetted his subjects to create simplistic and direct messaging is always going to appeal to the fascist mind, unfortunately

Here might about midnight Devils their matins spell (Old old digital painting)

whilst I was struggling to get the colours right for the foxgloves, I was almost x-rayed through the wall by a horse vet

told someone at Christmas that I sold a painting for £500 (because we all constantly have to economically justify our existence) and they said "well why don't you just do that 4 times a month then" sick one man never thought of that I'm sorted now thanks!

I’m just conscious that it was badly prepared and is in a bad environment so it’s not going to last forever, which is fine but it’d be nice if people saw it before that happens (water on oil, in a stable, what could go wrong)

Anybody ever visited my mural in person?

head butlers reduced / to well-trodden paving for / the royal tantrums (2022)

always surprised by a white American's willingness to be like "I hate all (insert random European nationality here)" under the vague justification of colonialism, where are you?! do the bones of the massacred dead not break loudly enough under your feet to remind you with every step you take?

Couldn’t tell you the last time I went outside

whilst I was explaining to my mum that Wallace and Gromit is about having working class northern grandparents, the scene where Wallace basically destroys Gromit's beautiful garden to make it 'neat and tidy' was playing, coincidentally just like her dad used to do to her mum's garden

honestly this is what it's all about, never decouple your worth from your art, ride the high as long as you can, become divine

I saw that you can sub monthly so I looked up some strategy because I’d be anxious about doing things wrong around other players and was immediately reminded that gamers are cunts

I'm so tempted to pay for playstation online so I can play Nightreign, but I could buy like 4 or 5 Stella Ross-Craig books for that so, you know, I'll probably do neither

very happy for you that people are interested in talking to you about your art but in my experience people are only interested in my art's viability as a business, the answer to which is "I'm 32 and living with my parents, but you already knew that so what are you really asking?"

We report: all the snow and the ice came in the very last hours of the night. It is a paper thin layer on the ground, and it will likely melt when the sun comes out, but the view is arresting nonetheless. Our expert is trying hard to contain their excitement, unsuccessfully.

it would involve drawing maps which is the thing I'm most picky about, also getting people to read a novels worth of handwritten scrawl

you know when your brain fully generates an entirely new artistic concept at like 3 in the morning and then you have to spend the next month trying to work out if it viable inbetween all the other stuff you're already doing

Something I learnt doing the flora survey was that every plant here seems to have a secret twin, sessile oak, midland hawthorn, wych elm, downy birch, annual nettle, smooth sow thistle, red goosefoot, field rose, imperforate st john’s wort, large bindweed, bulbous buttercup, sour cherry

I like to put my unfinished work here so I can be permanently haunted by them whenever I’m not working, a facies analysis of this spot would reveal a complex stratigraphy of half completed paintings across multiple mediums

It's important someone takes me here, again because I can't drive
