when people say "don't trace photos to learn art" it's not because of any absurdist moral stances or whatever, it's because your brain automatically corrects for lense distortion in photos but not when it is translated to lineart. observe.

To: <hollandspiele@gmail.com>


Hi Amabel (or person who can forward this over) -

I happened upon your recent video about A Thousand Clowns while looking for something else entirely, and wanted to thank you for it. It’s been one of my favorite films since I was a teenager - my father saw it hundreds of times as a projectionist on an aircraft carrier and my mother loved to celebrate Irving R Feldman’s birthday.

Years ago I had the chance to show some films at a theater here in LA, and I did a screening of a print of the film (it was at the time unavailable on home video) and an interview with Barry Gordon. He’s a lovely guy who was president of SAG, in addition to being a Ninja Turtle.

https://maximumfun.org/episodes/bullseye-with-jesse-thorn/barry-gordon-co-star-thousand-clowns-interview-sound-young-america/

It’s a film with a really passionate following among comedy nerds - my friend Brian Stack, who writes for Colbert, is a huge fan. I’m trying and failing to remember who came out to that screening but I want to say Nick Kroll and Paul Scheer? 

Anyway, just thought I’d offer that compliment because I enjoyed the video so much.

My take on Gatsby and co. for my graphic novel retelling 🥂 Follows Nick as he seeks the perfect writing muse for his magazine, meeting Gatsby- an amateur fashion designer- that’s on the unending search for his own muse. Psychological/Political/mob thrills ensue #GreatGatsbyIIE

Finished stitching my Oversight series. 12 small stitched poem-objects in wool, linen, cotton, silk, stitched on canvaswork mesh and edged in glass beads. #embroidery #textileart #handembroidery #beadwork #canvaswork #needlepoint #fourwordgridpoem #poetry
Twelve squares of embroidery on a grey background. Each square is stitched with four four-letter words in a grid, such as 'they know your name', 'they sold your data' and 'they read your file'. Each square is stitched in the same grid font, but the colours vary from square to square, mainly blues, greys beige.

//THE_WITCH// (S)PIRIT> (SP)HERE.3 LUCKY.NO_4950 Class Illustration for Realis kickstarter.com/projects/crum/realis
An illustration of a five armed figure draped in a flowing dress, thorn-framed mask in the shape of a pitted moon, and long braids tipped with morning stars. The figure wields two identical scythes and the fingers of their upper most arms are capped with spikes. They twist and cavort. The figure is framed in cascading text, symbols, and graphics - smeared and distorted as if run repeatedly through a broken printer.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

Did you know if you see something beautiful it's not because it's beautiful but because you've set aside space within yourself for recognizing beautiful things. That's pretty dang hopeful.

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

Bees 🐝
This art features 100 bees of various colors and shapes.
These bees are designed in a cartoonish style, based on real species. The common name or species is written below the animals.
Some bees are moving leaves, scraping plant hair, or sticking out their tongues. Some male bees have hairy faces and unusually shaped legs. There are also baby bees that have just hatched from their petal nests.  Cute and colorful atmosphere. There are over 20,000 species of bees, so I only depicted a very small fraction of them!
