Underworld remind us that moments and places that are disposable or debauched or transitory can be worthy of attention, or even be considered art, that these too are life, and in noticing them, you are honouring something deeper. This may sound worthy but the incidences themselves are not – the frantic dash for the last train, the drunken confessional moment staring at graffiti above a urinal, the glimpse of an illuminated room from a passing taxi, a shredded barely-legible poster or a neon sign above a backstreet door, a lucid moment in a ket-bumping pisshead’s lost night, a chant in a Romford street or a Manhattan canyon, a billboard on the A13 or Times Square, a whispered sentence from someone you will never see again.

-Darran Anderson on Dubnobasswithmyheadman at 30.

Still one of my favorite records, and bands, of all time.

This city appeals to me.

Views of an Imaginary City 23: Kadukaripaza in Korkidèh

Kadukaripaza (Karipaza Square) in the Korkidèh neighbourhood is one of the most appealing spots in all the imperial capital. The square is lined on three sides with two-storey whitewashed buildings, all of which have a row of arcades running along the ground floor. Underneath these arcades are several inexpensive restaurants known as nopichi, which specialize in various forms of kovenesiko,…

Hot take, but Internet Movie Reviewers have ruined what ripoff actually means

Don’t get me wrong, there’s definitely rip off movies that exist (literally anything made by Video Brinquedo is a ripoff of either Pixar or Dreamworks, Mac and Me) but sometimes, it feels like movie reviewers online just throw it around for movies that have similar concepts

Like, no, The Hero of Color City is not a ripoff of Toy Story just because it uses a similar concept of “inanimate objects come to life when their owners aren’t around” Hell, The Hero of Color City and Toy Story don’t even have similar plots or even story themes. Toy Story’s themes are about childhood and growing up while The Hero of Color City’s theme is conquering your fears.

Also, IF (2024) ISN’T a ripoff of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Literally some of the only similarities is that both are about abandoned imaginary friends reconnecting with their owners, that’s it. Youtube Movie reviewers made the term ripoff seem like “if this piece of media heavy inspiration from this other piece of media, it’s automatically a ripoff!”

I just wanted to get this off my chest

Part 2 of the CN-City-bumper-inspired drawings!!

This iconic street is not always so peaceful. Sometimes troublemakers, like these boys, come around and cause ruckus. However, the Dock Hag will not tolerate such behavior and she will make it known to them... Too bad she forgot her ticket book at home today. Last one I'll be posting on my Birthday next Tuesday. :D

"This is Cartoon Network."

Like last time, I'm posting the full-scale drawings. I didn't shrink them as much in this one, but still...

Views of an Imaginary City 34: A Nizimoamuàri

Two people walk past each other on a quiet street corner, both looking about their surroundings in an apparent state of reverie. The inscription tells us that we are looking at a nizimoamuàri, which could be translated as “a past or future love place.” (This is a somewhat awkward translation. The word muàri refers to any time—past, future, or hypothetical—that is not the present moment.)…
