a collage i made with james joyce wearing an eyepatch, crouched down, covering his ears, juxtaposed with a little girl playing a guitar with a black bird perched above and various other vintage imagery on a textured blue and brown background.

In a Secluded Monastery https://www.wikiart.org/en/mikhail-nesterov/in-a-secluded-monastery-1915

"In a Secluded Monastery" by Mikhail Nesterov captures the serene and contemplative atmosphere of monastic life, portraying two figures in traditional Russian garments set against a peaceful rural backdrop. Nesterov's work often reflects Russian spiritual life and natural beauty, showcasing his skillful use of color and composition to evoke a sense of tranquility and devotion.

The whole point of Columbus Day was never about Italian heritage. It was to celebrate when the first white men officially charted a new world untroubled by their political & religious bullshit at home. It was literally to say, “Hurrah! People like us finally arrived to invent NEW European bullshit.”

If it's the Broderick Crawford film I'm thinking, oops. Kansas City Confidential '52 is also on tubi, so you can get your practice in at zipping your mug.

Also still have 15-20 50s sports-coats, in glorious subtle plaids, all seasons. In the 70s-80s, you could buy 'em for 50cents. Wear 'em now and everybody is like OOMMGG!! Cherish forever.
