I am Art Monster.

I write fiction and non. I make films free of studios. I paint and exhibit. I write songs for Corporal Punishment. I photograph. I act.

In other words, I have the privilege of being poor in a variety of art forms.

I wouldn’t wish it on anybody, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Lynn: Let's storm the Bastille @auberon.bsky.social · 20h

Good morning Bluesky ☕

Here I am, not at work on a Mon morning so that I can recover from major surgery. This doesn't come with instructions, so I am not sure what it's supposed to look like. I am a worker bee, so idk what to do with myself.

"Do nothing" is hard for people who are always doing

During 48 zaps of radiation, a technician (they were called physicists) told me: “A time’ll come soon when this will seem like it was just a bump in the road.”

Yup.

Recovering from major surgery is celebrative. No disasters, you’re out, you’re home, you’re semi-functional and the healing cells are fully so. Great news. Alas the Bastille is still there but you are not in retreat, only recruiting your forces.

Slow Moving Pictures @lewisbeerblog.bsky.social · 1d

This is the most beautiful sequence in La notte: the camera tracks alongside Roberto's car as it passes beneath street-lamps, alternately lost in darkness and half-illuminated. Rain dominates the soundtrack and distorts the characters' features; there are no fully legible surfaces here.

From Antonioni's La notte: from the side, through the window, we see Roberto driving his car with Lidia in the passenger seat; they are barely illuminated by the street-lamp they are passing under, and their faces are distorted by the rainwater running down the window; Lidia appears to be smiling.

Lately, at wakes, I feel that we are the ghosts.

Yes - thanks - I did it a thousand years ago. Mom fired it in her home kiln in the Bellerose basement. I’ve done tons of found-object assemblages, but this might be my only sculpture. It’s only about two inches…

Searching for an image for this - my 2nd book - I discovered that two men seldom talk to each other in Western art. Finally found this in MOMA: CONQUEST OF THE AIR by Roger de la Fresnaye.

“Sometimes I’m afraid of yellow.”

- DeKooning

I don’t have that problem. Acrylic manufacturers have given up on yellow. It’s so thin and pale it’s barely visible…

“Inventing the Renaissance” is a history of histories of this (not so) golden age. Much of making history is simply adding new POVs to the braid as historians ask new & more diverse questions w/ each generation. I hope you’ll enjoy my effort to show the process at work! 25/25 https://buff.ly/4j6qkoS
