Whatchamacallit: X


I must do this,
I have to and I shall.

I should what I want
and I may.

I'd like to and I could
if I would.

Old School Rappers...



...everytime I think it's done, you come over with a new bag of bouncing chips.

Trivia At Night V


Getting original up in here: Last night we found ourselves the newest members
of the Valentines Day-Breakup Association. Still waiting for my t-shirt though.

Paul Jung: Moving Images


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Look closely.
 
 
Closer.
 
 
Even closer!
 
 
Wait, is that picture moving? I'm having a Hogwart's paintings - experience right here!  
 
Paul Jung's minimalist gifs are really more like shortish short stories with tons of room for imagination in terms of storyline. Ah yes, before I forget: He takes static pictures too. Well, sort of: http://pauljung.co.uk

Whatchamacallit: IX


Through the park, me and my broken rear light.
 
The floodlit buildings stayed behind eventually,

but the moon piggybacked orion and followed me all the way

into town.

Tiny Etsian Feature: III


https://www.etsy.com/shop/JoelPenkman?ref=pr_faveshops



When browsing through the huge art section of etsy, the thumbnails of Joël Penkman's pieces can be easily confused with photography. Indeed they are highly realistic prints of tempera paintings. Very tasty still lifes with a coolish yet blazing colour palette. The majority of motifs are foods such as popsicles, doughnuts, glasses of milk or (my favourite) a lovely arrangement of Holly Golightly's breakfast from "Breakfast At Tiffany's". Joël grinds and mixes his own colours, something very seldom applied by todays painters because of the time involved. But the results are marvellous. His work has been published in Food And Wine Magazine amongst others. He's currently living in the UK and has exhibited his art in the Royal Academy of the Arts in London, the Editions Gallery in Liverpool and various other galleries. Be sure to feast your eyes on his delicious selection of prints in his shop with a click on the banner.

Trivia At Night IV

 
I'm troubled by people who pose a complex question
and then seem bothered if you give them a
more-than-two-words answer.


And yes, I think "How's everything?" should be included in that.
