- A £10,000 quilt ruined my lifeThe city, empty, but alive in its texture.I’m in there, somewhere.Works of Lee Krasner up close. She created these meticulous, suffocating spaces that speak boldly and embody a certain eclecticism prevalent throughout her life. Go and see them in person.I truly wish I could give you a credible reason for why I purchased the late 60s child’s bath toy - like that I’m having a kid or just bought a house with a bath, for instance - so I wouldn’t have to admit that it’s because I like it as some kind of weird art object.Views of the old fire station. Taken on a Casio Exilim EX-S2.Shout-out to everyone refusing to accept that the early 2000s have come to an end. Taken on a Casio Exilim EX-S2.A verdant pocket of quietness amongst the force of it all.A photo can’t even attempt to convey the vitality and strength of Kamasi Washington’s music. Seeing him make his sax scream with Thundercat on bass and his dad stood up there next to him on the soprano is something I’ll never forget.Ruelle à Vernonnet, Pierre Bonnard. Not done justice by a photo. I was moved by his ability to capture a moment of life.
