Dreamt there was a massive discourse about some scholar having discovered that Tolkien had a secret second identity as J Hogjet Hotrod writing dragon porn & I don’t know what’s going on with my subconscious but I think we can conclude it’s fairly internet poisoned

50 yrs ago in 1976, Graham Parker bought out two amazing albums & is now doing a small celebratory tour. Nearly 50 yrs too since my first ever gig in March '77 - to see Graham Parker! So I went along again this week. Big thanks to @michaeldaly64.bsky.social for alerting me to the tour!

Involuntary painting ✨ 📷 #noticing

An abstract photo of a detail of an old tin door with multiple layers of paint that are cracked, peeling & starting to bubble and rust.
Most of the colours are muted but a section in the centre is a pale lemon, with green & mauve thicker sections above.
To me they give the impression of a stormy seascape with the headland and a wide stretch of deserted beach.

You’re Getting In My Hair, created c.1968 by Mavis Oultram, in the art therapy studio at Netherne Hospital, Surrey, where she was compelled to live. This is one of a small number of surviving works, which all feature the motif of eyes. No biographical information is currently known to us

Painting of snaking flowering brown tendrils of human hairs with blue human eyes stashed on the unfinished head of a figure with only the eyes and brows partially painted in, the rest of the face sketched out in pale pencil but almost invisible

Watched a perfect trio of films over the last 3 nights, all by different directors but somehow utd in sensibility - small town oddballs & cussed desires for justice following extreme violence. All hail Fargo / Riders of Justice / Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. May have to be annual!

Der Blick durch eine schmale, gepflasterte Straßenschlucht mit mehrstöckigen Altbauten auf beiden Seiten. Die Gebäude besitzen zahlreiche kleine Balkone und sind im Erdgeschossbereich teils mit Graffiti versehen. Auf den Bürgersteigen stehen Fahrräder, am Ende der Straße parkt ein blauer Kleintransporter.

Ein ganzflächiges, abstraktes Kunstwerk. Es zeigt ein dichtes Netz aus feinen, schwarzen, geschwungenen Tuschlinien auf hellem Grund, die an organisches Gewebe oder Zellstrukturen erinnern. In den Zwischenräumen sind viele kleine, farbige Akzente in Türkis, Gelb, Orange und Violett gesetzt.

Eine Aufnahme eines massiven, zelt- bzw. felsenartigen Betonbauwerks (Wallfahrtsdom Neviges) mit kantigen, asymmetrischen Formen und kleinem Spitzenmuster im Dachbereich. Im Vordergrund verdecken dichte, grüne Büsche und eine Steinmauer die untere Hälfte des Gebäudes. Der Himmel ist blau mit leichten Wölkchen.

Eine Außenaufnahme einer modernen, farbenfrohen Skulptur vor einem grauen Betongebäude. Die Skulptur besteht aus mehreren schrägen, balkenartigen Metallelementen in kräftigem Blau, Orange und Gelb, die gestaffelt nebeneinander aus dem Boden ragen. Links führt eine Steintreppe zum Gebäudeeingang hinauf.
