Hot: a new Firefly project Rot: putting money in Adam Baldwin’s pocket

The model’s real, the background’s imagined Featuring @kagedouglas.bsky.social #watercolour #maleart #figurestudy #malenude #watercolorart

I’m watching a doc on YouTube about Edward Gorey. Apparently he designed the opening animations, and set, for a US TV show ‘Mystery’. I got a real buzz from seeing that he’d drawn Diana Rigg, the host of the show, as part of the model of the set. youtu.be/t0fCuGnItHE

Holy moly! I needed some good news!

Not sure if anyone else does this, but when reading about history and there’s a reference to a ‘goth king’, I instantly picture Robert Smith with a crown on

Realised yesterday that I’ve been making art, with an actual focus to improve and take it seriously (at least on a personal level) for almost 10 years. I try not to think about where I’d be if I’d started sooner, but it’s kind of like coming out - it happened when it should have.

Recent #watercolour inspired by a session from a few years ago. The challenge here was trying to replicate oiled skin without using masking fluid, white gauche or gel pen. But success! At least, I believe so. #figureart #malenude #homoeroticart #malephysique #watercolorpainting

“You’re a beautiful woman, probably…” Doctor Who, City of Death And frankly pretty much every line of dialogue on the whole story

Ew, blocked. Don’t come around here with your shitty AI pictures, babes.

American Graffiti, hands down. I was going through the 1973 lists, and a lot were good/fun/ok, but it’s an enduring favourite of mine. And I’m going to say possibly George Lucas’ best film. Side note: 1973 also saw the release of one of my mum’s favourite films - Psychomania.

‘Markwayne’ sounds like 25% of a comprehensive school’s attendance register in the 1980s

The 1879 drawing La Blanchisseuse by Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret is considered the earliest example of Western art to portray a gay male couple. The piece is presently held in a private collection.

Was about to kick off about a property bylaw, then realised I sounded a bit Tory/neo-Labour. Deleted.

Hey loves, I made a #digitalzine of some of my work. Can be downloaded for the price of a coffee! #zines #queerart #maleart #lgbtqart ko-fi.com/s/e8bd9bf192

I think Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is incredibly underrated. Not least for just killing off Shia LaBeouf off screen.

Yep. Christ I’m ridiculous sometimes.

This. I think I stared at my laptop bag for about 5 minutes before being able to ‘crack on’

Is it weird to have an emotional support journal?

My mental state? Oh just watching super cuts of interviews with Denise Gough and Kyle Soller, or Yerin Ha and Luke Thompson, in between regional BBC reports about the supernatural from the 70s and 80s. Why do you ask?

Just letting the paint do its thing #watercolour #watercolor #malenude #figurestudy #maleart

It’s only just occurred to me that no one has really mentioned Catherine O’Hara’s role in Six Feet Under. Truly extraordinary and unhinged. I keep thinking about in on and off.

The thing is, Keir, I’m not sure who still sees Labour as progressive anymore, so there’s no vote to split.

Some days you’re just the Sancho Panza

Whenever I hear of a new high profile figure or world leader from the LGBTQI+ the community, I first think it’s really good news. And broadly kind of is. But still doesn’t mean they’re going to do anything for marginalised people. Never take decision makers at face value.

About time these shonky, ratbastard motherfuckers were hauled in

As a child, I’d never have thought the words, “Oh just fuck off, Paddington!” would escape my lips. But here we are.

Oh my god, a full eight hours’ sleep! All I have to do is try to sleep in a hotel bed for a few days, so a massive stack of sight-seeing, then sit on a train for 5 hours. Cracked it!

I made a decision to only use stuff I have and not to spend more on new things I don’t actually need. In other news, Amsterdam has some amazing stationery stores. Fuck.

It would be great to show gay porn in queer bars in the UK like in Amsterdam. Straight people should have to deal with it or fuck off, frankly.

I’ve become more and more convinced that telling people why right wing parties are a bad idea is futile. The people who would vote for them aren’t going to listen to human rights failings or the NHS collapsing. I think we’re better off saying parties like Reform are for paedos.

How i feel crossing borders on the Eurostar

Have a great day, tossers!

I’m not going to completely neg Starfleet Academy, because let’s face it, not one other ST shoe is completely above reproach, but it’s helped me identify exactly what I don’t like about certain YA dramas…

Hate to be that guy, but it’s always grey trackies season at Star Fleet Academy

Oh no

I have a few credits I need to spend. It sure as hell ain’t going to be on someone who’s one of Epstein’s buddies

If there isn’t a #dragrace runway with the theme ‘Pleated Rivalry’ in the next couple of seasons I will need a written explanation as to why.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and Odyssey I love the AC fucbois and Jacob is the fucboi-est of them all

*Coming back after a few drink* ‘do not post what you really thought about Heated Rivalry’

Well, I just congratulated a colleague on being pregnant, who very isn’t. In my defence, there’s been a spate of it and I got one wrong.

Finally, drafts for posts! Won’t matter for me of course. I guarantee at least one typo and an ill-formed thought across most of my posts. And you can take that to the bank!

#watercolour from a recent session I’m in no place to tell anyone how to practice art, but there’s power in keeping things simple. There’s always a temptation for me to add more because I bought all these art supplies so I should use it all. I’m trying not to think like that. It doesn’t help.

Fighting and fucking across the Mediterranean in the 5th century BCE

My younger self would be in absolute disbelief at how many men on posters and billboards I’ve seen naked in real life. I know it might sound like a weird thing to say, but I have to take stock of some pretty awesome artistic stuff I’ve done in my life.

Saw this news report from 1985 on a petition to change the name of Dildo, Newfoundland and it’s remarkably wholesome

#Watercolour on A4 paper I normally dislike painting backgrounds, but if I can keep it quite loose and just make it up #malenude #figurepainting #malephysique #malenudeart

Sorry about the poor speech mark placement. I’ve had a few beers. This is what happens now. A complete loss of control.
