The soft animal of my body wants to make so much art rn and absolutely none of it with any kind of coherent throughline or ability to benefit a career in a measurable way. My bodyanimal is saying we need to Dargermaxx. We need to sit on our scrolls & tapestries until death while we’re doing janitor.

Recently I have had to do my accounts every month because I got suckered into doing the ONS survey. I am lucky enough to have a brilliant accountant but it still takes half a day out of every month to prepare my receipts etc. Self employed people cannot afford to lose that time to admin.

Poster announcing my new BTS bookmarks that I illustrated and had printed on texture paper. The drawings of BTS are chibi/cute style and they are all smiling and singing, but in contrast they're wearing intense stage outfits of leathers, furs and chains. The drawings are done in sketchy black pencil.

Taehyung posted one of the most famous murals in Mexico. It’s on the West Wall in the Palacio Nacional, and it’s called From the Conquest to the 1930s. It’s by Diego Rivera (husband of Frida Kahlo), whose murals document the history of Mexico with a focus on common people. See alt text for more.+

Tae’s picture of Diego Rivera, “From the Conquest to 1930,” History of Mexico murals, 1929–30, fresco. 

On the West Wall and in the center of the stairway, visitors are confronted with a chaotic composition titled From the Conquest to 1930. The wall is divided at the top by corbels from which spring five arches.

Across the top, In the outermost sections, Rivera represents the two nineteenth-century invasions of Mexico—by France and the United States respectively. From left to right, the three central sections depict: the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, figures associated with Independence and the Mexican Revolution, and the Constitution of 1857 (during the presidency of Benito Juárez) and the War of Reform. These historical events are somewhat distinguishable thanks to the arches that separate the scenes.

In the lower section of the mural however, there is no such distinction between, for example, scenes of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec empire, the subsequent destruction of Mesoamerican painted books (now called codices), the arrival of Christian missionaries, the destruction of pre-Columbian temples, and construction of new colonial structures—emphasizing the interrelated nature of these events.

An eagle standing on a nopal cactus at the very center of the wall, mirrors the insignia at the center of the Mexican flag. These historical scenes have been compressed and flattened on the picture surface resulting in a dense visual mosaic of intertwining figures and forms. The lack of deep space in the composition makes it difficult to distinguish between different scenes, and results in an allover composition without a central focus or a clear visual pathway. This cacophony of historical figures and flurried action overwhelms viewers as they walk up the stairs.

"...they found that the positive effects the fandom had on subjective well-being could be explained by social connection with other fans. Other studies...has found that being more identified as an Army is linked to being more “transcultural” or likely to see yourself as part of all of humanity."
