For the past few centuries, immigrants have brought with them their knowledge of European folk art painting to decorate furniture, walls, and accessories for various types. This particular type of decoration, called rosemaling, evolved in Scandinavia during the early part of the eighteenth century and is, perhaps, the most exuberant of all forms of folk art.

i havent even read enough gl to justify the feelings and emotions i have about kyle i just have the lovers heart and also something wrong with me. and my projection. in my mind he's just like me. and he would have loved college vending machine frozen cheeseburger and heating it up in the microwave at 1 in the morning because he was bored and didn't want to work on a drawing assignment on 20" x 30" paper that was due tomorrow in his freshman year. he would have loved going to the club to push off finals work that's creating the worst stress known to man in his brain. and he would love to annoy the fuck out of his roommate when high and avoiding homework on a saturday.

#IN MY MIND HE'S JUST LIKE ME and i understand why he dropped out of art school also.#i need to get back to my readings but im too into thinking about the couple dozen issues i have read #and then going i wonder what he was like in college. and the answer is definitely fucking annoying.#if i knew him i know we would be not arguing in art history class. i would be saying his takes are stupid outside of class during break.#and he would go i dont know how somoene can defend british utilitarian furniture so vehemently and try to liken it to bauhaus design #our arguments would also stem from having very different art history and therefore philosophy education. his background would be from a pro #who would focus on european canon as per usual while my prof was coming from the perspective of someone with a phd in asian art history #and a curriculum based mostly around exploring and investigating non euro art work and how movements like modernism and #post modernism functioned in other continents.#this is such a main blog post but idont care. EVERYONE HAS TO KNOW HOW I PROJECT AND INTERACT WITH HIM IN MY MIND #he would also hate how i argue for art even i dont care about by approaching it at the philosophical angle.#'how do you like this it's barely even art. or it is art. but it's a boring cop out for suckers. honestly.'#'the thing is i dont like it. i just think you need to expand your world views and stop being close minded. youre limiting yourself.'#you might go eiffel what are you basing this on? the answer is vaguely remembered panels in my mind plus generally taste opinions of his i #can gleam from what art references they give him within issues.#it would also be funny bc like. he has a background in design... he's just stubborn and snobby i think when it then comes to the realm of #fine arts. i think his opinions and how they operate in regards to design + illustration + non gallery art are probably quite different #but i cant lie. from the singular 'i dont wanna be some loser who shows up with a blank canvas to a gallery' panel i remember someone talki #about in a post i have used it to create a variety of thoughts i think he could have had.#and the answer is the opinions of someone definitely a little annoying in art school. with a pretty standard traditional training #and background that stems from euo+american art history and sensibilities that inform how he interacts with art. which is very normal #but i think it's funny to view him as someone i would probably roll my eyes at for some comments he would be making.#and it gets funnier with how he acts generally as a person.#kyle you cant be this snobby when you are drawing pin ups of your work crush in your home studio...#good lord this got so long i have a problem. hi. sorry to my new follower your kyle posting made me go ha ha kyle. i like that guy.#static.soundz #back issues box #< it might as well go there bc i blabbed way too hard and too much. sorry. overtaken by an entity in my mind

When you want to visit the Alhambra but mom’s like “we got the Alhambra at home”

#niche joke maybe?#unclear how many millennials and elder gen z are familiar with moorish decorative arts #but this is the theatre at New York City center #described in the show program as ‘1943 neo-moorish’#I think theatres need to start having themes again why did we stop doing that #I’m not saying we should randomly model them on landmarks of other cultures #because it’s so fucking weird #like the garde arts center in CT is vaguely Egyptian and it’s like??? that’s a choice #but new build theatres are just like neutral spaces #which I understand completely you don’t want to distract from the production happening onstage #but surely there’s some middle ground we could reach!#some kind of neo art deco revival could be lovely #especially as more and more art deco theatres are getting restored to their historic designs #I don’t know if theatres are this way in other countries but I’m assuming that the American trend at the turn of the century #was influenced by European theatrical tradition #I’ve seen color plates of concert halls and opera houses #so I’m pretty sure our heavily themed theatres built 1900-1950 are a translation of that #unfortunately I don’t really have a knowledge base for American theatres older than that because I haven’t really been to any #well wait that’s a lie I’ve been to ford’s theatre in DC #but I don’t think there was much that stood out stylistically to me I think it was just very bog standard federalist #which isn’t the period most people associate it with because of Lincoln #but I don’t know off the top of my head when it was built and that is likely a modern design choice anyway #this has been another episode of ‘I have approximate knowledge of many things’

Nellie Starcatcher pencil sketches

(adult/fledgling/chick)

***

She’s Neville’s little half sister from his mom’s second marriage.

Nellie’s personality is the total opposite of her older brother’s. She’s outgoing, bubbly and charmingly cheeky. They share one trait, however: curiosity.

But while Neville works as a detective, she’ll work in the media industry either as journalist or as TV host (I haven’t decided it yet. 😅)
