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.

Here’s my one-word endorsement for Stu Hennigan’s KESHED:

“Fierce!”

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.

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.
Life in the mirror is strange.
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…

if lore is to be believed, fred astaire used to dance and glide around his tailor's workshop before taking a suit home to make sure the collar always stayed glued to his neck
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.

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
I wrote them my best appeal never to interrupt you…

Just seen Bugonia. It is the film that says everything about Amerixa and thus there is no further need for America. It's done, you can stop now.
Ok I’ll stop but only if I don’t have to watch it.
