Man with Puppet sketches. Getting it wrong. Thinking I liked the turn of the head, but not sure now. Thinking about Rustin saying he didn't want his figure paintings to be anecdotal.

Fine, fierce leopard, painted by Maerten de Vos, who died on this day in 1603. With maybe a little idol-worship happening beyond his tail.

Finally watching HD restoration of Cleopatra Wong. Filipino-Singaporean Charlie's Angels-spy-nunsploitation, with soundtrack and fashions already creaky by 1978. A Tarantino touchstone, because of course it would be.

Excellent interview with Mary Kelly. Particularly interesting when talking about the unique hopelessness of the present moment when compared to other previously rubbish times.
