Mastery requires violence against your former self.

Cronos: The New Dawn looks stunning & is a lot of fun. Certainly my fav horror game release of 2025 (probably the only one I played this year anyways lol). Bloober Team is on a roll with Silent Hill 2 Remake being my fav horror game!

Currently reading The Haar by David Sodergren. A rather short horror novel that is both touching and creepy at the same time. Also quite easy to read. Recommended!

I HAVE SEEN A GREEN COUNTRY, USEFUL TO THE RACE,
KNOCKED SILLY WITH GUNS AND MINES, ITS VILLAGES VANISHED,
EVEN THE LAST RAT AND THE LAST KESTREL BANISHED -
GOD BLESS US ALL, THIS WAS PECULIAR GRACE.

Part of Edmund Blunden‘s poem „Report on Experience“ - found in RATKING

As an #artist in the age of social media, being real & true to yourself isn't safe. It's a risk, a risk to not go viral, a risk to not get seen, because YOU don't fit the algorithm. So the algorithms kill authenticity & make it more difficult to connect w/ what you really enjoy. #art #artsky #writer

Went to the Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Ver today. Amazing #art works, very heavy, and at the same time beautiful! The details in her etchings are just out of this world. One of my new favorite artists! #artist #artworks #etching #darkart #femaleartist #artsky

Today I learned that the protagonist of Barry Windsor-Smith's Monsters is missing one eye too - so is the on of my graphic novel RATKING! There are quite some similarities: childhood trauma, war, exploitation. Damn.

Random images from my inspo folder. Even if the whole picture doesn't look too exciting or even interesting, there often are some small details worth paying attention to, e.g. colors, compositions... #art #inspiration #artsky
