Call me Gale. I have fixations and talk about them. I like to pretend I'm paid to research even though it is all for the delicious self-satisfaction.

A ★★★★½ review of Strictly Ballroom (1992)
Another year, another watch through of Strictly Ballroom. One of the things I like most about this movie is how low the stakes are. The entire idea of the Pan Pacific Grand Prix is so small in the sch...

Got really into depicting a specific kind of feeling based on one of my favorite short stories, 'Where are you going, Where have you been.'

we recently finished Misericorde volume 2 "white wool & snow" by @xeecee.bsky.social. highly recommend, loved it. mulling over a lot of mysteries yet my energy goes into this instead

#art #comics
Black and white digital comic featuring characters from Misericorde. [1] M: And so the angel cometh from on high, her bare feet gliding on the rainbow's path, and wiped the crystal tears from Dorothy's eye, saying-- [Margaret speaks with closed eyes, her hands clasped in prayer, light emanating from her in waves.] M: "Be not afraid! The love between two girls always is holy, never once in doubt, no problem in the eyes of our kind lord. Adore away!" [2] K: In other words, God says-- M & K: "If you're both women, it doesn't count!" [Katherine, smiling leans on Margaret's shoulder, while Hedwig, in the foreground, looks concerned.] H: I have never heard of such a thing... H, thinking: Such heathens... you are lying with malicious intent, tempting my virtue with your lustful ways-- sin! You think me dumb and gullible enough to fall for [3] K: Whaaaaaat? [Close up on Katherine (frowning, curled lip) and Margaret (frowning, pitying)] M: Hedwig... [4] M: Don't tell me [Close up: Margaret speaks with sad eyebrows, her eyes closed.] M: you've never read Ligma? [5] H: Lig... ma? [Hedwig is small and anxious.] [6] H, thinking: What manner of text is this? Have I all this time been ignorant to the word of God? How much more has been hidden from me [Hedwig appears in a fish-eye zoom, her eyes swirling. Crunchy black tones encroach on the text from the bottom of the panel.] [7] H: Sister Margaret, Sister Katherine-- [Hedwig bows, eyes shut.] H: Forgive my ignorance-- it pains me to admit but no I have not yet read the book of Ligma [Margaret and Katherine grin mischievously at a distance.] K: Ligma ba [cut off by edge of image]

Dear sister finally wrote her review for Nosferatu so I thought I'd cross-post mine from when we saw it. I liked it a lot.

A ★★★★★ review of Nosferatu (2024)
This is not a remake of Nosferatu. This is not an adaptation of Dracula. This is a stealth adaptation of Lolita by Nabokov. Thomas and Ellen are two parts of a single person. The premonition of rape, ...

I'm not much of an artist and primarily do writing/analysis, but why not right? This is 2024. I'm just lazy.

I think everyone should play Mouthwashing, actually, to see the horrors.

[1/3] Comic featuring Curly (pre-accident) and Anya from the game Mouthwashing. "None of this has to be on our performance log. We'll figure it out together." says Curly, leaning forward, smiling, wide-eyed at Anya; she is in profile on the right side of the screen, shadows over her eyes, miserable. [2/3] Comic featuring Curly (pre-accident) and Anya from the game Mouthwashing. "I'm pregnant." says Anya, eyes closed; the speech bubble covers Curly's face, so only his silhouette is visible. [3/3] Comic featuring Curly (pre-accident) and Anya from the game Mouthwashing. "You're, what?" says Curly, eyebrows raised, eyes wide, frowning. His face is angled more toward her; he didn't expect this, and he's displeased. Anya flinches.

comic artist - illustrator - i want to see my art printed in a book - recently interested in cut paper mosaic collage and pattern/surface design
ID: Illustrated comic page with no panel borders featuring two characters, defined by solid coloring in pink and yellow. At the top right, the biggest speech bubble says, in yellow, "thank you for showing me," with a long tail leading down to where she is sitting on a slanted burgundy roof in the bottom left. This is followed by a speech bubble in pink that says, "come with me," leading to the pink character, who is standing above her in the bottom left. Another bubble on the yellow character's path says, "what?" followed by another "come with me" from pink, with the tail now leading to the second iteration of the pink character, who seems to be hovering in the air, lit by a beam of pink light coming from off screen; she is holding the yellow character, who looks shocked and is clinging desperately. At the top of the page the yellow character's feet are visible, one of her shoes falling off as she disappears into the beam of light. Behind them the sky is navy blue and purple in alternating wavy stripes lit by pink and blue four-pointed stars. ID: Black and white illustration featuring two spindly, angular hands with long, pointed dark nails and heavy jeweled rings on every finger. The right hand (on the left side of the image) holds a thick braid, and the left hand unravels it into a stream of long, wavy locks. The braid comes from the upper left of the image, across the top, and unravels down the right side, leaving a large negative space in the bottom left. ID: Photograph of a cut-paper mosaic in a black-and-white chevron tiled frame. The art piece features a watercolor full moon with craters cut out to reveal a teal blue piece underneath, and is surrounded by roughly circular rows of color. Beams of pink light also emanate from the moon in the center. The top and bottom of the canvas are surrounded by pink and yellow mosaic clouds. ID: A tiling pattern with a sage green background featuring two kinds of dandelions (a central plant with three white puffs, and a secondary plant with two yellow blooms).

"My darling is a cherry tree,
blooms in our garden endlessly,
bereft of fruit though she may be."

#art #illustration
Digital illustration centering cursive text that says, "My darling is a cherry tree, / blooms in our garden endlessly, / bereft of fruit though she may be." The illustration features a cherry bonsai tree in the shape of a glass cloche with a blue bird (mouth open, crying out) on the largest branch, beneath the poem. At the base of the tree is a fairy ring of white mushrooms. An angular hand with long, pointed nails intrudes with a garden clipper from the right side of the image; the tree seems perfectly shaped to avoid the hand and its shears. The image has a white background and is inked with black, while the colors are done in four layers (pink, orange, green, and blue) that overlap to create new shades, as if physically printed.

"What will I use this for" is already the question, but fuck it.
