Day 9 #ArtAdventCalendar • This #embroidery work combines #anatomy and #symptomatology into #SciArt. Here is body map (2016), in which I stitched my neurological #MECFS symptoms freehand as I felt them.

This essay is about contentious films, imperfection and the importance of direct action. It's also about Basket Case 2 which, I went in expecting to hate considering I'm ambivalent about the first, and I ended up loving it, and, Freaks, which I love despite it's confused execution.

Really good of my uni tutor, on a dedicated distance learning course, to just be entirely uncontactable for the past 3 weeks leading into this essay I'm writing that has really unclear directions. Way to go! Super great!

Gotta say, Fake Documentary Q is shaping up slowly and horribly in a very good way. I'm still not sure how much is connected or even if it is but that's no bad thing and it seems to be something Japanese horror is really good at. And it doesn't outstay it's welcome either.

I strongly encourage everyone to steal from Spotify and support artists elsewhere by buying CDs, digital copies and merchandise and would like to say there's several batch fixes on GitHub to remove ads etc that I've used without issue for years now.

Benefit of Carnage: Tarantino, Kitano and the Art of Violence
When Quentin Tarantino recently dismissed Paul Dano as the wrong “type”—too soft, too twitchy, insufficiently heroic, it was not a comment on his skill, but on his temperament. The man does not fit in...

I remember, and this was about 5 years ago now, when I was with a girl and about to start studying, and when I told her I was excited her first inclination was to tell me she had ways to pad out sentences and puff things out for the word count and I was just like. No, I enjoy the challenge.

You know, as someone who's had insomnia basically as long as they've had mental illnesses and had disordered sleep before that, I don't think I'll ever get used to just how fucking irritating insomnia is. I have plans! I have things to do! Being in a fugue state is not one of them!

One of the small joys in life is the look my cat gives me when I come to bed and he's there waiting to be put in my lap.
Second only to the look he gives me when I stroke the guinea pigs instead of him. He really does look betrayed as though I haven't turned on the electric blanket for his sake.

Think my next fiction dude to read is Stefan Grabinski, who I've heard is underrated. Haunted railway station is something that isn't done enough.

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

I ordered one of those random, like "vintage assortments!" for my scrapbook/journalling, and in between all of the cut-out bits of original prints of Rupert (which... oh, my heart), there was a postcard from West Hill Royal Hospital and Ward for Incurables, and it's been on my mind ever since.
