I set myself the goal to understand the cold war by the time I turn 40 in 2030.
The good news is that I'm well on track but the bad news that I'm now stressed AND disgustingly educated about World history and my therapist doesn't know how to help me because the world is like THAT. NOW. AGAIN.

I LOVE IT (please don't judge me, it's been a WEEK)
But yeah seriously, it's like a 83 minute long TOOL music video fever dream

Fellow f**ked up movie enjoyers! MAD GOD has landed on Prime Video! And boy, it's something! It's a gross, dystopian hellscape in the Hieronymus Bosch sense. Serious warning if you can't handle explicit body horror. It's a surreal stop motion masterpiece but checks ALL the TWs.

Desperately needed a pick-me-up after today's Gaslighting Doctor Experience™, extra condescending Edition. Felt too guilty for the wine/giant tub of ice cream solution so opted for some shiny fairy lights instead. Not beating the "bunch of Corvids in a Trenchcoat" allegations anytime soon

Have to appreciate the alluring siren call of the _mainline sewer replacement construction_ hole outside my window after a really shitty appointment with a really shitty doctor. The body wants to yeet into the sweet oblivion of improved civil infrastructure

I just found out that the guy (Brian Catling) who wrote the amazingly weird & wonderful 'The Vorrh' (which I just finished & loved) also did the beautiful glass pillow memorial sculpture at the Tower. ARTISTIC RANGE boy howdy

Spent my Halloween watching some Japanese classics. The famously lush 'Kwaidan' (1964) and 'Botan Doro - Peony Lanterns' (1968)
Kwaidan is an anthology of 4 famous tales & a compulsory watch for any film buff. I particularly enjoy seeing Heian Japan on screen so it really hit a sweet spot for me.

Friend (angling for party plans): "Any exciting Halloween plans?"

It's all chinese propaganda of the intangible heritage kind-yes, all of them, shockingly- but GOD I love those aesthetic "how to wittle ancient chinese lipstick from scratch" videos. They really tapped into something with the formula for people being desperate for a sensory break online.

Coming back from an appointment at the hospital, I stopped by the grocery store & a man collapsed in the vegetable Isle. Firestation 300m down the street so EMTs came quick. They were reanimating as I left, 2 distraught people aside, presumably loved ones.

Howls has varying performance quality with the narrators but the variety of stories (set in different world cultures/flavours of folk horror + LGBTQ rep!) makes up for it.
His Black Tongue was a lovely, atmospheric and intermittent listen. It's a great cozy evening filler, I reccomend both!

It's spooptide so it's book season for me again. I finished His Black Tongue which I loved, jumped straight into Howls from Dark Ages trying out Spotify's new audiobook feature but was swiftly hit with listening hours limit bs halfway through 🤬

Been practicing painting plein air. I'm not satisfied with this one tbh but I get to spend time outside in nice environments so it's still a win.

Lordy, just remembered my account here exists. Maybe it's aging, I feel less and less desire to participate in social media - great stuff for an artist lol 🥲
Anyway, I'm not dead!

Everyone online is banging in about The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron (it's on my list) but this is my next read. It seems a logical primer before tackling the actionable plan. Are you an #artist who's read this? What did you think?

Finished labeling, panning, selecting & making palette Index cards. Big #watercolour, small #gouache. More essential tasks done. A few of the pans will remain mystery paints & most tubes will have to be reclaimed as time goes on but for now I got the basics covered. #art #painting

A specific hill I'm willing to die on is that the JFK jur Autism/ADHD "it's just a trend diagnosis" skeptics would get silent REALLY fckn quick if they ended up evaluating US military personnel. Much like the other cans of worms I suspect they know well but won't dare nudge open.

Unclench your jaw.
Relax your brow.
Go get a drink of water.
See if you've taken your meds
Eat something.
Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing.
Because you do.
You're a wonderful person.
And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

I somehow managed to severly compact the nerves in my shoulder so I can't sit down for long sessions but I'm making good progress on this in shorter stints. Next steps: adding/balancing colours & contrast, then the next stage of details in metallic Kuretake and ink

Ages ago I got a bunch of used watercolour supplies off Facebook for 20£. Crazy good deal. Hadn't touched my own in a long time. Now I feel a tiny, faint spark to paint again. It's an emotional process. Been cleaning up & organizing the mystery palettes & unlabeled pans. Now I'm ready to swatch.
