* ruins the Korngold music by cheering “soft focus! SOFT FOCUS!” during the romantic passages *

Okay next up is the “Elizabeth and Essex” score. And again I can see Williams being influenced; but he deserves credit for being able to pull on this stuff without really falling into Korngold’s patterns, which FEEL somehow very dated to the 30s-40s.

I have exactly no idea what happens in “King’s Row,” but Korngold’s music is so stirring I can only assume this is the part where they run out the guns and prepare to repel boarders. (Also wow; Williams REALLY was influenced by this score.)

Another night of falling asleep where I could snooze through the battle of Kursk next door, and then I woke up thanks to weird nightmares and was AWAKE.

Wet no joyfuw voice be heawud! Wet no foxxo wook to the sky wif hope! And wet dis day be cuwsed by we who pwepawe to wake... THE KWAKEN!

uWu!

Today’s #drawing, went with the stealthy scenario.

When I get off shift I should draw; adventurers vs wereshark, samurai duel, or scout eavesdropping on a sinister meeting?

in my dreams it snowed (another "wake up in bedroom not the one I have IRL") and now I don't want to drive in to work

so I wind up feeling okay about the evening, and going to sleep and soon I'm off dreaming about closing venetian blinds in a room not my own when suddenly the upstairs neighbor kid is having some sort of crying screaming meltdown, and THEN suddenly there are adults stomping around yelling and my other upstairs neighbor stomping around. A little into taking melatonin I realize I'm actively triggered and hypervigilent and yeah, no, it's not happening. One half edible later, and there's still occasional stomping.

#drawing today, starting a new sketch pad and largely ignoring my careful thumbnails.

see my idea for a Schwarzenegger vehicle has him working in a Chinese restaurant, so that the entire movie is a setup for him pointing at a rack of cleavers and yelling GET TO THE CHOPPER

"many apologies master, but I feel Ed Gruberman is not fully wrong."
"what do you mean?"
"I, too, wish to boot some head."

#subpost Shoot for the moon, if you miss you'll wind up among the stars

an immense dark shape drifting in the space between spaces, defying any sane geometry, slit-pupiled eyes closed as tentacles twitch in no-longer-human dreams

awaiting the hour that you are summoned back once more

"before Rockwell a Gay artist defined the perfect American male"

yeah well 1) I knew that 2) most artists know that 3) Rockwell completely idolized Leyendecker 4) and was cool with Leyendecker being Gay 5) there's exactly one book on Leyendecker and it's out of print, could someone please fix that?

the upstairs neighbor kids are racing around and screaming again. Hopefully this is happy screaming, but.

I think the absolute best thing about Star Trek the Wrath of Khan though is how, having been freed from exile on a forgotten planet, one of the first things genetically designed superbeing Khan Noonian Singh evidently does is ACCESSORIZE with a necklace and a stylish Starfleet jacket

very late breakfast today uses up the last okra, the last canned corn, leftover potatoes, some of the remaining cabbage, a jar of curry my Dad gifted me with when I asked to buy curry from the store.

I was not told much about adulthood and one of the things nobody told me was how many meals would be use-up-stuff-I-bought-while-stoked-about-it.

It's not so much I'm a shit artist, but I'm an UNINFORMED or INEXPERIENCED artist. Which is different; that can be improved with time and effort, but when I focus on A I'm by definition not going to be that great at B, and largely self taught working day jobs means that improvement is real slow.

And unfortunately while this seems factual now, younger me did not come from a great place, and thus spent a lot of time wallowing in I'm-a-shit-artist. Heck I still do it now. Not very helpful.
