The images i added to the doc are very small due of necessity so here's the uncompressed versions. Some of these are updated versions of drawings i already posted before

Corvus Fugax is a fictional species from @thatforestprince

[weirdmageddon]

it can also happen during the day too but frequently occurs at night

apparently “Data on the number of people affected vary, but prevalence may be as high as 8–18%. It is thought that only 17–20% of patients consult a physician, so obtaining accurate data on occurrence presents a challenge”

MOTD#144.

[mybeingthere]

Tim Maguire, born 1958 in Chertsey, UK, painter of huge cinematic flowers.

Maguire was raised in Melbourne and Sydney, moved to France in 1992, then Britain in 2002, and still calls Australia home.

Born in Surrey of Australian parents who were teaching in Britain, Maguire came to Melbourne as a baby. Influenced by his mother, who encouraged her children to play instruments and mix powder paints, Maguire's primary interest at Huntingtower School, Glen Waverley, was music.

But believing he wouldn't be good enough to be a solo performer, he spent years after graduating bumming around on the dole, "rebelling against my rigid family background, where the notion that God was all things good and that anything bad was regarded as a misconception".

"Like many youthful experiences, these issues have long since been resolved," he says.

The artist who paints for a living, plays sax in a band that recently supported Joe Cocker, adores golf and has a French farmhouse in the Loire Valley.

It was an accidental decision, when he was 21, to go to art school: "A friend was enrolling at East Sydney Technical College and I thought it might be fun."

During post-graduate studies he lost faith in the modernist values he'd initially embraced "because I had come to identify them with the religious values I'd rejected", and stopped using paint altogether.

"Tim Maguire’s signature flower paintings are no more about flowers than those of such earlier painters of the motif as Georgia O’Keeffe and Andy Warhol. It is a means to an end, as Maguire’s own remark makes clear: ‘If the flower paintings mean anything, it’s to do with the way they are made’.

Both the motif and the making process were developed during the late 1980s from Maguire’s series of landscape and abstract representations, together with his experience of working with the technical printing process of lithographic colour wash separation which led him to using pure glazes in his paintings, rather than opaque colour.

Maguire’s still-life flower paintings began in 1989 with his return to Australia and the birth of his son, after he had spent most of the later 1980s travelling and exhibiting in Europe and the United States. Birth, of course, reminds of its opposite, and an awareness of the fragility of life came early to Maguire, after a train accident that changed the presumed course of his life.3 The historical flower and still-life genre paintings of the seventeenth-century Dutch Golden Age promoted the mutability of existence through loaded imagery that served a larger symbolic and allegorical purpose. Such symbols of transience as flowers and fruit reminded the original Protestant viewers – in the then good times of Dutch affluence – of how the clock ticks, beauty fades and decay lurks.

The genre’s precise ordering of motifs and their careful spillage also provides a persuasive pictorial tension between order and disorder, the natural and the artificial, through an experience of abundant visuality. And it was this voluptuous visual presence of the historical flower pieces which drew in Maguire, who kept distant from their original symbolic meaning through his concentration on the painting process and its materiality.

By the time Maguire was back in Australia in 1989, he had come to realise that a painting’s formal qualities had to elucidate the meaning of the work, but also be analogous to it, and this became the content of his practice.5 For a short period he maintained contact with the Vanitas theme of the historical still-life genre by alluding to its favoured references in exhibition and painting titles, for instance Et in Arcadia Ego and Ex Niholo, Viva Breve (exhibitions of 1987 and 1990), Vita Fugax 1991 and Lapsus Memoriae 1989.

But by 1992, the flower paintings had become untitled and numbered, reducing any possible interpretation of personality in his paintings, which the historical still-lifes have in abundance. Nonetheless, Maguire’s early 1990s flower paintings have been described as ‘portraits’ of flowers and this painting of 1993 fits the description.6 This auspicious year Maguire won the Moët & Chandon Fellowship, which allowed him, with his family, to work that year in Champagne region of France. Bathed in a tawny, ‘uncanny’ light, overblown blossoms spill out of the picture plane and dissolve into the viewer’s space, insistently florid and improbably fecund. Critical commentary on Maguire’s paintings of this and previous periods, such as Tank 1986, Lux in Tenebris 1990 and Canal 1988-1992, includes some evocative reflections on a ‘light which is equally dark’, remarking on the way this light ‘disrupts space and focus, the pull it exerts on us, wanting us to be immersed in its phantasmic mutability’.

Ya boy woke up butt hurt, literally, I'm experiencing proctalgia fugax.

[paperback-writer0807]

Proctalgia fugax is a nightmare.

Not nearly enough people are aware of it.
