i love that his paintings always remind me of a scientific illustration of a cell. the way he uses shape to convey things is so interesting to me and i am always trying to emulate his free flowing whimsy.

If you're into surreal art that hits different, you’ve gotta check out Peter Birkhäuser’s work on this site: https://doorofperception.com/2022/07/peter-birkhauser/.
It’s like stepping into a dream world mixed with a mind-bending episode of Twin Peaks.
His art is stunningly trippy, packed with symbols and vibes from his Jungian journey - think mystical meets psychological, with a touch of raw intimate depth.
The site itself is like an online art exhibit - Birkhäuser’s most famous pieces are blown up in big, gorgeous format so you can catch every wild detail.

his illustration and artwork style is so visually pleasing. It feels like a harmonious equation of color and shapes. Completely creative, structured, and somehow mathematical

hard to pin down a specific one but this is a fav genre of mine in terms of art. I remember visiting the national gallery in DC a while back and being floored by some of the pieces on display. they’re so detailed that it’s almost hyper-real, depicting things with such realism that it’s enhanced. I could spend hours poring over these, and they’re so much better to look at in person. this one I linked is by Church but there’s a ton of great ones by Cole, Bierstadt, and their contemporaries that all rock

Found him at a flea market and kept walking away and then coming back. hes too small to actually be heard from outside so I popped him on the wall by my computer where I can knock him while I’m doing tasks.

😈im Thinking mainly of Summer Break here.
I woke up whenever I wanted to after a late night of watching cartoon networks adult swim which was pretty much just sexy anime back then interspersed with some music news and vibes. I drank a fuck ton of Coke Gold which I never see anymore but it‘s the caffeine free version.
I had keys to my apartment but no money so I’d take a walk and then come back home and watch more tv or draw and listen to my cd’s. I used my lunch money during the year to buy cds every other week from Best Buy or virgin records which was definitely the coolest it could have been in the early 2000’s - everything was red lighting and industrial steel and the Distiller’s first cd was $7. my parents sent me off to hang with some of their friends parents out of state and they let me have free reign over their golf cart and I’d drive around in it all day blasting NOFX and Crazytown and Alkaline Trio - definitely the reason all the boys wanted to hang on my golf cart that summer was the fact that I brought my battery operated boom box with me everywhere. The girls followed on their own carts and decided they didn’t like me even tho I always asked them to come hang.
When I got an older (2006?) and had more money I started getting loosies and beers at the corner store and would smoke and drink in the park with my friends and no one ever said anything to us. we snuck into MGMT in the park and did drugs under the trees and danced with glitter on our faces and stupid string bands around our foreheads.
There was this community garden in the East Village we went to a lot that had chickens in it so we called it Cock Park - they had a tree house we’d drink 40’s in and cackle until the park closed, then we’d move to the church yard.
I can’t stress enough how many underground music venues there were - none of them carded, all were illegal and all served jungle juice out of coolers. we got Fucked up, dude.
And the best of all was the fuckin house party. Someone’s rich parents were always out of town and we little assholes would swarm their teenager occupied brownstone like little monsters. Lots of drinking and drugs and sex all over the place. i Feel bad for the kids who had to clean their houses in the morning all hungover and stressing out.
But yeah, it was cool.
