Curious how you all have been doing. I've fallen off the planet entirely.
Curious how you all have been doing. I've fallen off the planet entirely.
So I'm not sure how noticeable this has been on my blog, but there's a trail that I use a lot. For photos, just walking in, whatever. This trail has gone through several little phases and I can pretty much safely say that I've been there since it's almost beginning. From the afterthought of a footpath that it originally was, to the more established one it's starting to look like. Basically I'm proving my right to have claimed this tiny little, public path as my own. Obviously, this patch of woods is mine. Has been for some time.
Anyway, starting a few weeks ago, someone left a painting on this trail. No note. Nothing. Just a painting.
I speculated. Called for bets to be placed on who did this.
About a week ago I left a note saying basically, 'Love the painting, but curious why you've left it out there. Are you advertising, selling it, or just decorating the woods?' type thing.
Kept checking.
Day 1: Left a note.
Day 3: Realized the painting was wet. Painting was completely unharmed. But heart attack inducing discovery for a moment. Thought at the time that maybe the artist that left it here had maybe done a touch up job. Based on the information I know now, this was probably just due to the weather.
Day 4-something days: No response. Painting did move from it's original spot once but that's about it news wise.
Day Yesterday: Got a response. Badly redacted for obvious reasons. But this whole thing is a plot twist I could have never seen coming.
For clarification it says:
Glad you like it. The artist will be happy too. He's a guy I work with named Conner. Although he may not be happy that I put the painting he gave me in the forest. It looks good here though. There are several stations throughout the city where I've placed his paintings. We both work for the City (redacted) in Water and Sewer.
Like who would have guessed that?
Anyway. I am planning on leaving another note asking where the other paintings are because I am unhinged and need to know this information. So maybe this will get an update. Maybe it won't. Who can even say?
So years ago I watched a show called House of Anubis. It was a really badly written show with even worse acting and I loved it. It was the Egyptian content my 12 or whatever self wanted. I feel like it's one of those ones that unless you watched it at 12 it really doesn't hold up. I mean it never did but I have nostalgia for it. The point of all this is to bring you possibly the best character to come out of the show. The man himself...
This show is bad. Not good. And yet...the gems that have come out of this are immaculate.
This man right here being the main one
Also the video is not mine it's someone off youtube called Kynia with the link here if you'd prefer to use that. Credit to them for that. This video is just too good not to share.

Very famous and important artists that I should really know the name of at this current moment in time. (This post was made under extreme outside duress, topical research and not at all a caffeine addled and procrastinary state that no one asked for.)
Is it the effort, the thought, the talent? The execution? What makes it so magical?
I've uncovered the secret.
It's this metallic rich espresso paint
All the people in my carefully curated list of sources have used this in their colour palates. They seem to gravitate, at least in the specific examples that I pick out and generalize, have a thing for this spectrum of metallic colours.
The point to all of this you ask? There is none. Somehow this paint shade is involved. This is how I recommend things. You should all know this by now.
