Illustration of a black creature pulls back its lip to reveal many small pink hearts being held in its mouth. The creature has three eyes around it’s mouth.
This crooked smile
Lightning stirs the ghost of a jester above the sea. Painted with acrylics.
Above the sea: the ghost of a fool. His ship was full of them. #art
When someone really digs into telling me I have artistic talent, my guard goes up because it's just the same red flag as telling me I am any other kind of innately special. Experience warns that this person might be a micromanager - in any case, less interested in me than in watching me.

Kermit riding bike
"I wonder how they did that"
On the set of the muppet movie
Two guys watching kermit bike. One says, "how is it doing that"
Old comic
“Breaking news: Renowned composer Philip Glass…”
*Oh no…*
“…withdraws from Kennedy Center.”
*Fuck yeah*
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
I give them silly placeholders and then end up keeping them often. “Silly” ranges from just whatever pops into my head first to distracting games like naming a whole pirate crew after ice cream flavors, rhymes, synonyms of the title, sins like his first name being the same as his last name, &blah ❤️
If you are caring for and cherishing and protecting someone that capitalism sees as disposable
You are on the front lines already.
One of the things that genuinely shocked me as I read through surveillance logs for the police is how much of their energy and attention is dedicated to shutting down vigils and other ceremonies of remembrance.
Hey, that’s me! 🙂

Some days you intro pin a new post.
A poster featuring a house unfolding as an eerie glow emerges onto the title of a 1982 documentary on early Cold War media called "The Atomic Cafe". In the background, dimly, are an awful lot of song titles you might recognize most of from the Fallout soundtracks.
A page of a script concerning a very very bad monoplane landing. An illustration of red spirals on black invades the page near the end.
The seal of the fictional University of Alamogordo, designed by yours truly.
A mustard and ketchup bottle labeled with a color block burger joint logo that does not exist in real life. These are props for a short film.
Hi, I'm Ness! I make things like these.
The opening of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960): a black and white panorama of Phoenix, Arizona with the words "FRIDAY, DECEMBER THE ELEVENTH" printed across it in white.
Happy Psycho Day to all who celebrate.
(not yet Friday, but near enough)
Stop making sense
Really haunted by this Margot Ferrick page I saw earlier, it's got the lurid uncanny sheen of a Hajime Sorayama piece but instead of eroticism it just exudes desperation and grief
William Friedkin (with a still from LA Opera's production of the Strauss opera "Ariadne auf Naxos" directed by William Friedkin) - BOTD
There’s a pull to say “zero” coming not from certainty but from distrust, now knowing a trust-wrecking weakness in such people that would probably come out in other ways if not this. By “zero”, would I mean “didn’t want em anyway”? Yet a world where they were still artists would be better.
AI being a novel off-ramp from art that sells itself to the frustrated, I wonder how many have taken it who actually would have kept with art if it hadn’t been there, and am still processing how it feels to contemplate that. Maybe few, sure.
Screenshot of real/fake soap from prop guy's instagram reel
Watching a prop master on how they make soap you can eat. For scenes where a character has to put a bar of soap in their mouth. The fact that a white chocolate bar of soap looks identical to a normal bar of soap. Humans are so clever. When we stick to little tasks
I'm learning to make the kinds of 2-D art that show up in movies. Nice meeting you!
Quoting with my favorite anti-fascist film.

Inside the modern part of the library. A dark stone stairway heading upwards with a central metal bannister. On the left a tall white wall with square windows halfway up. On the right an open stairway with glass panels. At the top of the stairs is a white wall around forty foot high. In the corner at the top is the stonework of the old library around forty with several old windows. Two men are at the top of the stairs
