I just watched this documentary on Hipgnosis, the art studio behind some of the most iconic album covers in rock history. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Wings, and countless others. It’s amazing how they created the covers without computers and photoshop. Truly magical and inspiring and made me want to make art ✨

📺ive loved this youtube video since 2022 when i found it. it showed me the album bitches brew by miles davis when no one fucking told me what that album was even tho its like super popular. truly one of my favorite videos of all time, if not THE best video of all time. i love video essays but i dont give a fuck about your spooky story of a criminal,ghost,spirit,etc. i want art, music, movies, history, politics, shit we live for, not things were gonna die knowing and regret that we only know those things instead of findind the true purpose of life and beyond
(sorry i got a lil too poetic there)

📽scala (2023) is a brilliant documentary about the scala cinema in london, and how it influenced a whole generation of creatives. absolutely brilliant film and made me reconsider how i look at movies generally.
while we watched (2022) is the story of a ravish kumar, an indian news reporter trying to fight against the misinformation put out by the indian media and the pressure put on him by the government.
squaring the circle (2022) is a really fun documentary if you’re into your classic rock. all about the group that designed half of the famous album covers from that period, and the story behind the group and the art.
and lastly i’ll say the sparks brothers (2021). just a brilliant display of how filmmaking can be used in a documentary. again, loads of fun, really beautiful shots, amazing lineup of interviewees. i hadn’t even heard of sparks before watching this but i was a big fan by the end.

I decided to watch this on a long bus ride and I was pleasantly surprised. This was such a unique documentary. If you’re looking for Bowie’s history etc. you might be disappointed, but if you want to learn about his artistic process and be inspired by something more visual and art-focused this is for you.

💻There is something really satisfying about the non-addictive quality of the website version. Recently I’ve deleted most apps off of my phone and decided to use the website version. It gives me an excuse to go on my laptop and get some of that pre-social media nostalgia experience before things were so accessible. I love that I’m inclined to quit the browser after completing what I intended to do rather than mindlessly scrolling forever and experiencing targeted ads. It reminds me of a time when the internet was still a wild place full of discovery rather than an endless consumption machine.

A favorite artist of mine had a solo show in a gallery and I was extremely excited to attend, having only seen the work digitally. The artist posted a story offering to come to the gallery and give folks a talk about the artwork, all you had to do was send a DM. A little nervously, and maybe one wine in, I messaged him to say I’d love to take him up on the offer. And he said yes! We scheduled the time and met at the gallery for an in-depth tour of the artwork, his process, inspirations, and associations with the work. A deeply inspiring and personal experience that I’m so glad I got to have.
Maybe think about taking people up on their offers from a stick of gum, to a ride to the airport, to the last slice of cake. It feels really good to receive.

🪐the new year really doesn’t begin until March 21, aries season. i feel like new year’s resolutions fail because this isn’t the time for starting things, it’s still
the time of rest and inward reflection. thinking about goals is great but remember, you have until spring to solidify those plans and really get to work on them!
