I literally wake with this argument somehow fully mid-flight in my brain

Overpainted a friend’s op shop painting (with a little glow in the dark surprise). #oilpainting #repainting #ufo #weird

You’re correct on one count, and by god I’m more grateful for that every day x

The videos have been shared. It’s been well established that the movement is completely different. You know this, and yet you still share it, because it’s the strongest argument you’ve got. Which says so much, don’t you think?

Happy with how this cheeky little Willem Dafoe is coming along, although I haven’t quite captured his full goblinishness #nosferatu #oilpainting

It’s like how every book about reducing stress starts with five chapters about how stress is killing your. DO YOU NOT KNOW YOUR OWN AUDIENCE!?!

Also an excellent Bowie album that year. I mean he also died, so yeah still not great, but could we get another Blackstar?

I was going to say you’ve missed the point, but then I realised that’s moot, because we all kind of make the point for ourselves, right? But I suspect the author here was intending to communicate something different to what you’ve unearthed, something I resonate with, and I’m neither rich nor famous

My biggest step was local lessons based on Watts Atelier style of education. Paint Coach on YouTube also very helpful.

When walking on a forest trail, it often makes sense to take the same steps others have taken. But there’s a danger too, because overused steps can become worn down, slick and slippery. So the trick, then, is to know when to utilise the wisdom of the crowds and when to strategically diverge.

The marginal details of the David Lynch memorial at the Burbank Bob’s Big Boy are what make it.

To whomever now owns the Twin Peaks IP: no matter how much we beg, no matter how much we bargain, even if we are on our knees pleading with you, please do not make any more. #davidlynch

But then you’ve got artists whose entire appeal is made up of inconsequential conversations with locksmiths. #justiceforthelocksmith

If anything is trying to outrage me - either at it or on its behalf - that’s a switch off for me.

My partner at the time, who had given up on The Return early, asked me after the last episode, “Did you enjoy it?” I said, in a daze: “I don’t know.” “Well,” she said, “how do you feel?” I lay in bed with my eyes wide open. “I don’t know,” I said. “I actually don’t know.”

Great article. For me, The Return is my final experience of obsessive week-to-week TV watching. I would think about it constantly in between episodes, listen to podcasts and read analyses. It took over my brain in a way that bingeing a show can’t do. It also completely broke me.

At least once a year my patient friends will allow me to read this out loud in the Gordon Cole voice.

When I was a kid visiting Wellington for the first time, I was disappointed by the beehive. I thought it would be bigger and grander like the White House. As an adult I’m still disappointed by the beehive, for different reasons, but I no longer wish it was more like the White House. #newzealand

I found some old wooden board and tried oils for the first time on something that wasn’t canvas. Felt weird. But kinda…good? #oilpainting #gollum #lordoftherings #lotr
