An avalanche of loopy supernatural shenanigans, interpretive dances, and all the snake-related imagery you could ever want. The film warns you repeatedly about the evil of idolatry, but how are you supposed to not worship Snake Queen Suzzanna as she flies through the sky in her solid gold carriage?

Children are not unfinished adults, we are all individual humans on a timeline, with individual needs and tastes. And there has been no point in your life when you didn’t deserve the very best books that the publishing industry could provide.

My experience with getting baby and family vacation photos to a similar relative is to gift them physical photos in an album. Go to the drug store. Print fav photos. Put them in a pretty book. It will mean the world to them.
You can’t make them tech savvy but you can give them a gift they cherish.

I understand art prints (not everything can be original)

But it's baffling to see folks titter with excitement at the mass produced garbage they can pick up at target or hobby lobby

Not to be all hipster glasses about it, but what is the appeal if having the exact same piece as 250k other people?

Thank you!

Having trouble coping with the fact no non art world person collects original art.

How do we make decorating your walls trendy again? A home should be more than a millennial grey or boomer beige Instagram backdrop.

First page of the new sketchbook. We all know that is the biggest hurdle in art. #art

Black ink sketch of a lamp hanging over a restaurant table in a ramen shop. It is a simple drawing that includes the vague shapes of distant wall hangings.
