Comfort reading a recent printing of a massive contemporary painters manual on egg tempera (and tempera grassa) that captures 30-40 years of personal research by one artist/historian.
Half the 290 pg book reads like a chemistry manual and overall it feels like a very mature student’s PhD thesis (bc of the life experience) and honestly I freaking love it.
I cannot help my weirdly geeky tendencies with such things.
Off to unearth a few more ultra hirez images of 14th & 15th c art that shows the individual brush strokes. Or that show X-rays of art, or half finished paintings, or paintings with fugitive pigments that have faded away to reveal other layers of paint (basically: anything that shows the layers below the intended final layer that the viewer would have seen back in the day)
"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw
"average person sees 3 spiders a year" factoid is a statistical error. Sephora Georg, who attracts 3 million horny spiders with the spider sex lotion, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Private detectives useless as hell all I do is sit behind a desk dramatically lit in black and white stripes by my half open blinds and smoke cigars. Living the dream

Anyone else think some of those jc leyendecker drawings are kind of yaoi ....
I once had a landlord offhandedly mention that his mother had set this house on fire before. He and his wife lived on the first floor, and i rented the third.
Apparently his mom didn’t like his wife. So she set their house on fire. The house i was living in.
He assured me that everything was fine now and that this was years ago, just kinda laughed, smiled, and said ‘You know how moms are’
Yes. I know how moms are. I know how fucked up moms are as well. I have known many fucked up moms and fellow children of fucked up moms.
Attempted murder through arson is not typical mom behavior, even for a fucked up abusive mom
