We have a wee one in London at the National Gallery, lucky to have been to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam - I bet there’s a few postmen in there

Yes I don’t know how many Sunflower paintings there are - fourteen maybe? You’re always shocked at how the colours are so different, each reproduction will skew the colours in a different way.

That doesn’t seem logical does it. I’m going to live with the mystery.

Yes her eyes are in different positions too but the version without the chair has less detail. Maybe he went back to it, I’m trying to find out online and losing the will to live.

Are there two different versions of the same painting? The signatures are different. Gah! the internet.

There is a version with a chair, I wonder if it was painted out or added. It makes a more satisfying composition which is maybe why I like it less.

Managed to install a Photoshop plug in and now I feel like Tron

Cleaning folders, I found this collab with my sister that I still enjoy. We should make whole comic like this :D (this cover was commissioned by a friend :D )

In the early part of the 20thC, the Swiss artist Hans Emmenegger began making recurrent themes of enigmatic, dark forest interiors, exploring the optical effects of light and colour. This work was painted in 1933.

I love it just like that, as it is, a jumble of shapes on the edge of resolving

The menhir of La Tiemblais in St-Samson-sur-Rance (Côtes-d’Armor) lies at angle of 45 degrees due to excavations by C19 treasure seekers; if upright it would be 7m tall. One of several traditions is that it blocked 1 of 3 entrances to Hell. Card by Rouxel in Dinan c.1905.

I approve, and yes only because I want to see the Macarena at the Maracana

Referees have always been inherently comedic figures. The more technical and po-faced the VAR inquisition becomes the funnier it gets.

What satanic pact does Andre Rieu have with Sky Arts?

Fucking hell I get it. It’s a metaphor for the internet. An infinite number of awful refracting suffocating spaces. I can sleep now.

Robert Ball @robertball.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Maybe it’s about a breakdown and retreating from the world, along the lines of something like Repulsion? Anyway it was directed by a 20 year old, I couldn’t tie my shoe laces at that age.

Backrooms has some really groovy things in it but it doesn’t seem to be about anything. Maybe films don’t need to be about anything. Maybe it’s about something but I couldn’t tell what it was. Yellow.

Isn’t there a suggestion that loads of John Lennon songs are Three Blind Mice? Instant Karma is definitely one.

I saw The Odyssey yesterday and it reminded me of Slaughterhouse Five though it must be the other way round

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is an enchanting piece of music if you like to imagine your toys coming to life and murdering you with their tiny implacable hands.

Because you didn’t ask when I was a kid I saw an old black and white short film late at night where a fella hunts a snake all around his room then gets into bed, it’s in the bed and bites him. It absolutely terrified me and haunts me still. It was probably a comedy.

Ahh I always forget about TP, don’t worry I won’t stray into hardcore linocut techniques until the curtains are closed.

I’m intrigued by Channel 82 now, it sounds like knock off perfume

Three cheers for professionalism and availability!

The sight of Gordon Jackson being crushed by Westminster Cathedral at the end of The Medusa Touch has never left me. Some things are against nature.

There are a few nice ones, and some shockers. I want to read The Left Hand of Darkness but the modern covers are ghastly. #coversnob

I think there are actors I grew up with and were so ubiquitous I stopped really noticing them, now I can see them fresh and see how good they are.

You know what, that sounds right up my street.

No, I’m not sure I’ve heard of the Night Gallery but I’ve not had coffee yet, I will look it up!

The reveal at the end goes straight past silly into absurdist territory. I should really read the book and find out how fruity that is - there are some nice covers out there.

Surprisingly horny. The film, just to be clear.

Yes by the nerds’ Lady Gaga herself Delia Derbyshire it was brilliant
