Been having a hard time falling asleep lately, which means I spend the night trying to sleep and the day trying to stay awake, effectively ruining both.

Wish I could just sleep when I'm tired and be awake when I'm not. Like a house cat.

Over all, I wish a social media follow wouldn't mean so much.
It's possible to not follow your friends on social media.
It's possible to not really like someone, but still follow them for other reasons.
It's kinda, usually, just like a "for now I want to see what you're up to", more or less.

Found this photo of this old painting. Apart from the fact that I'm quite proud of this one, it's also an experiment. The paints used are white, black, red, yellow, yellow ochre and burned sienna. There's no green or blue paint. The green comes from black with the yellows.

Also I'm tired of how it's about winning elections. Because for most, that seem to be the main point. If they win - they're done. As if the election is their only job, rather than what comes afterwards.

The colours are, as usual, more radiant in real life. It's hard to capture oil paint - with all the minerals and metals and such - on a photo. They always look more dull.

In real life it's honestly possible to have abstract art in part because the paint can be gorgeous on it's own.

I wanted to try it out after hearing a professional painter say that "white and black are blue". And yea, the greens you get are quite pretty, even.

It's basically the Zorn palette, though I didn't know that at the time.

A simple bust I made out of plastiline like 2-3 years ago or so. I then played around with lights, taking pictures of it. Looking at this now I think it's actually a bit interesting. The plastiline is in reality a typical light grey and only looks yellow because of my phone camera.

A plastiline bust, looking yellow against a dark background with blue gradients, cropped with white edges. The bust's head is tilted slightly, and she's smiling, looking at something to the left of the observer.

A blood drink with a piece of garlic so nobody would want it!

Ok maybe a bat. But would they even drink blood if it was served in something or do they have to get it from the source?

The bottom of this glass/goblet is a bit wonky but the painting is old so I don't care!

A fancy glass or goblet with red liquid, a toothpick with a piece of garlic on the side. Oil painting on thick paper.

Looking through old photos for something... I don't remember what anymore... but finding all kinds of other old things!

Nothing like using a software for ages only to then learn that there's this thing that would've saved you hours of your life and so much frustration!

Teamwork sure doesn't necessarily get much easier just because you work alone.

When I was a child, we had bats around where I live, and I could sometimes see them at dusk. Nowadays I never see any. I really hope they're still here somewhere.

I haven't played Heavy Rain, but yes, trying to move around in a digital environment when it just doesn't work at all does feel a bit similar to that kind of nightmare. :o Especially if you're still immersed to some extent in the atmosphere/story.

It sure looks baaaaad. At least Trump is old and the momentum can, hopefully, be lost when he falls off. Imagine this situation if he was just, like, 55 and healthy?

I do wonder what'll happen with his cult once he croaks tho.

Feels symbolic somehow doesn't it?

Respect to all the people working at museum and other exhibitions, making every piece look it's best. One of those professions that's easier to forget the better the people are at their jobs!

A bit more finished now. Though I feel like it needs something for colour contrast.

Also dark drawings are difficult sometimes because if seen with white around it, it just disappears. Just like pastell colours can look grey with too much dark around them. Context of a drawing is important.
