Yous should have seen the replies when I said I didn’t like Portal, fuck me, to be fair those guy did read what I wrote, and they were furious about it

Whilst that article about reading in America is baffling, I don’t think it explains social media replies, I think the replies on here are infuriating because people have a topic they want to argue about, and they spend all evening term searching it and copy/pasting their thoughts onto random posts

sorry to keep banging on about it but my cultural highlight of the year has been reading M John Harrison, and if you like my paintings at all I strongly recommend reading The Course of the Heart or The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again or some short stories

Lads is it gay to change your name to Bryony Mandrake?

My interpretation of Annihilation is the the majority of it is just documentary description of the kind of mad stuff you see if you look around properly

Lads is it gay to change your name to Bryony Mandrake?

I’ve considered making my entire output about bryony, but I like rot too much and it doesn’t rot well

Viriconium seekers take note, I didn’t expect to find another story in here, also the only other definitive example that I’ve ever encountered (excluding scientific illustrations), of art about bryony plants, besides my own

i'm not above this I just have it in reverse, I'm very mistrustful of any art I see in a commercial gallery but I spend all my time scouring the internet for freaks

Related, pre internet hearing a band at a mixed show or the radio then buying the record, translates into hearing them on Instagram then going to a show or streaming them. But painting has always been something viewed publicly in churches or galleries and patronised by wealth or state

‘Why don’t you combine music and painting hmm?’ I want to make paintings! Ordinary, 2 dimensional paintings. I don’t want to gimmickify my art to gain a short term, trend-based audience. Paintings are good! as long as there are people there should be paintings!

I don't think that people don't like paintings, I think that people are mistrustful of art that isn't found in culturally acceptable places, that's why it's harder to be a painter* on the internet than a musician, paintings are found in galleries but the idea of an underground band is comfortable

Whole new styles of visual art being formulated around the concept of a delayed reveal of the subject matter in a process video, because that’s the only way to get anybody to pay attention for longer than 2 seconds.

That’s my husband murdered then

honestly I look at all yous and you're all clever and knowledgable and well read and I feel so stupid in comparison because I've filled my head with the locations of apple trees and exactly what kind fruit they produce

Part of the work is knowing where water collects

In space… everybody is Australian

People rarely consider that the artist may have had access to the same amount of historical information as the observer, perhaps more, and chose when not to follow it

thinking about it, one of the several issues I have with reviewing art on the basis of it's historical accuracy is that people want an average, think about the diversity of thought and expression in all the people you know, then try and condense this into a history book about this period...

Oh and by the way is assertion that nothing can be successfully adapted across mediums is not only stupid but pretty hypocritical considering how referential so much of his output is

Listening to the Alan Moore lectures and they’re good but he says if you do your research you can know more about a place than the people who lived there, and sure you’ll know about it’s celebrity residents and historic events, but you won’t know what it feels like to be there…

Drawing a distinction between psychogeography from research and psychogeography of experience, the most interesting things that ever happened were never written down by anybody, for example did you know that when they were building hs2 here, they cut down a hedge with a lot of white bryony vines…

yeah towards you you stupid fucking bellend

Ebay advert clearly made by people who have never been inside a post office, can you imagine what would happen to you if you packed your parcels at the counter in Rugeley post office! Your body would never be found

had a dream I was at a Christmas party with alastair campbell and he put my shoes out in the rain

I do think I’d make good job of designing wrappers for boiled sweets

yous like those shadows?

On the other hand it says a lot about our country that the only domestic nature we could muster any compassion for was a relatively ordinary individual of an invasive species that just happened to be growing in a picturesque (tree cleared) spot

remember when rory stewart said the sycamore gap was the closest thing Britain had to a sacred tree? absolute clown

I’ll admit I’m a nimby if what you’re building is fucking shit, build a house I can afford on an estate designed for humans rather than bank accounts and I’ll stop moaning, they built a solar farm here this year, it’s exciting!

it's a secret so don't tell anyone, but I painted an orange last year

that's where all this is from I think

whilst I'm posting stuff from projects that I probably shouldn't be, I did an album cover for Lankum in like 2019 that I'm not going to show you, presumably for the same reasons it was never used

There are two ancient mulberry trees in Burton-on-Trent town centre by the way, if that's your thing. I must have walked past them a thousand times and never even knew
