gao hang’s work isn’t otherworldly - it’s from a world i love.
for months before i found his name, his artwork invaded my pinterest feed. it was arresting, humorous, nostalgic. ps1 graphics you can reach out and touch - if you were ever able to escape from the screen, that is.

I created this artwork a while ago, and it's displayed on the wall of my gameroom/office, where I primarily write my songs and create my artwork. It brings me joy, along with a touch of fun and flair. Although it's digital, I aim to make my digital art resemble traditional paintings, as you can see in my other works. Phoebe is displayed beside it. I might share that one too; who knows! 🤔

I have been collecting art my entire adult life, starting from my days 20 years ago as a student at RISD. When I see something I love, I do not hesitate to buy it. At this point, my walls have no room for more art, but that does not stop me when the art is really good. I am obsessed with my latest art purchases, these prints by LA artist Nick Pini. Abstract figures rendered with digital charcoal, giving me all the right energy and attitude. I bought Caught This For You and No Nightmares No Dreams because I instantly connected with them. I framed one of them in this Neon pink frame and it’s perfection. Ok now I want to go buy more...gotta go!

before covid, there was a pandemic spread through the highly popular MMORPG world of warcraft in 2005. this resulted in one of the most fascinating wikipedia articles i’ve ever read.

in the wake of the untimely death of buddy duress, i am reminded of the magnetic energy i felt discovering the safdie brothers.
i first watched good time in film school, thanks to one of my only cool teachers (european). while i loved the film, i loved the safdie brothers‘ ethos even more.
they scouted their stars from around the city - interesting people with tough lives. from reading and listening to podcasts, it seemed hectic. buddy durress wasn’t a trained actor, he was sometimes homeless and other times locked up at rikers. how do you manage that kind of talent?
the article i’m including in this post could explain what the safdie brothers accomplish better than i can. their film heaven knows what is one of my all time favorites - but the story behind it solidifies why it’s so important.
i’m not sure what arielle holmes is up to now, but i’m grateful she indulged everyone long enough to be able to make that film.
