copying the past to be original in the present
so i saw this picture of a new yorker cover from 1930
it reminded me very much of that painting of dogs that ping zhu did
i wonder if it was intentional
if so it opens up a potential to take ideas from the past that most have long since forgotten and use their framework to quickly make work thats impressive to a current audience because its different to other work being made. because its from the past. but developed and finely tuned to be suitable in the current market, which the old image probably wouldnt be.
somat to ponder.
all hail ping zhu.

im in love im in love
with maria kalman
our values are in sync
i want to live her life
ive said about 8 times this week
all i want to do is walk around and look at stuff
and collect it mentally
well she does that but paints the things she loves and its nice
and i read these books
and they read like her mind seems to work
her paintings look theraputic
theyre playful and they arent attempting to prove anything to anyone, about her skill or creativity or talent
theyre very ernest and intelligently naive and playful in a logical and well read way
and its images with words, put together to acheieve what neither could alone, but not in a stilted structured way like comics. theyre like a livestream of thoughts. enlighteningly so. i want to sit and paint with her and discuss the shoes people wear and the cheerful colours of the buildings we see.

lady mags
in a waiting room i drew cheryl cole from a distant heat magazine
this sparked something within me
i went to the shop and bought the trashiest available lady magazine combo pack
ive been drawing from them
theyre terrifying
so crass and insipid and confident in that
so much interest in the bodies of strangers
yeah so im trying to work out this bewilderment on some poor unsuspecting paper
its going okay though i might make a zine or somat
ive basically been taking words and imagery from the magazines and putting them on paper with little to no consideration
very cathartic
i made an accidental poem on the chantelle one
new lease of life under the knife
check me out im so damn poignant

hashtagillustration
I've been exploring the illustration hashtag lately with an often morbid fascination.
of course there's legitimately good things on there but I'm finding myself more drawn towards the questionable. Some of the things are fascinating and I can't fathom if they're awful or genius.
yesterday I found this woman called Jannie Hansen
there's something intriguing about this horrible drawing
i dont get it
but in another way
i do..?
look at this
its hilarious
its time to dance
childrens heads..?...!
who knows
whats this about
please i wish i knew
triangle legs?
this next human is called nov_vsee
theres something crazy going on
is this a small child or a proper art person
i just cannot tell but this picture is so happy
look at that
his eyes are many
who made this who and why
horrifying
why is this good
i dont even know if it is good but i like what ever it is
now this next person i am infinitely fascinated with
called goraku0831 they have 17 followers and their description reads
i'm japanese.love make up,Art,music.....
Aerosmith!
but theyre a new kinda crazy
what on earth is that
what is it
heart head man, sos, flower lady, one sock?
what
eyecontact? tits?
horned mask
whatwhatwahtwhat
EXPLAIN YOURSELF
crying wolf hat???????????
fingers fingers funny fingers
hes got his fork and spoon all ready
ready for the crescent head party
caption: I LOVE NASA!
i cant get enough
they dont make any sense
but they just keep getting better
and better
AND BETTER
