at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology
Retrophrenology:
It works like this. Phrenology, as everyone knows, is a way of reading someone's character, aptitude and abilities by examining the bumps and hollows on their head. Therefore - according to the kind of logical thinking that characterizes the Ankh-Morpork mind - it should be possible to mould someone's character by giving them carefully graded bumps in all the right places. You can go into a shop and order an artistic temperament with a tendency to introspection and a side order of hysteria. What you actually get is hit on the head with a selection of different size mallets, but it creates employment and keeps the money in circulation, and that's the main thing.

I painted my friend's beloved dachshund recently, and less than a week later, the poor thing fuckin' died unexpectedly. Hopefully it had nothing to do with my painting, and it wasn't a suicide, but this is the third time someone's died after I've painted them. Anyway, dm me for commissions

One of my favourite facts about Delacroix’s “Liberty Leading the People” is that as one of the paintings suspected of using mummy brown pigment, it’s almost certainly painted with people
Image of Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix. In the painting a woman in a yellow dress with her breasts bared holds a French tricolour flag high above her head while behind her a ragtag army of ordinary people dressed in everything from open shirts to suits and top hats clutch weapons and follow her lead

Anyway, in the 19th century, artists finally began to cotton on to the connection between the name ‘mummy brown’ and its source. Pre-Raphaelite Edward Burne-Jones interrupted the lunch where he found out to rush home, get his tube and “insist on our giving it a decent burial there and then”

Remarkable how many of these creeps in Epstein's orbit were seemingly fine with having their photos taken in compromising positions. If I were in a hotel room with my trousers off and my friend whipped out a camera, I would be like, "Could you fucking not?"
