That picture pretty creepy! Reminds me of the artwork in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

The young painter Andreas Achenbach (1815–1910) completed this painting in a studio at the Städelschule and it was purchased immediately by the Städel. With precise strokes, it shows a ship struggling against the raging sea to avoid being smashed against the rough cliffs. The deliberate lighting emphasises the surge and the mighty rocks, thus, heightening the feeling of agitation while witnessing these events. The large format further intensifies this impression of the depicted force of nature. Achenbach repeatedly painted detailed seascapes of this kind. They are skilfully staged: it was not until two years after the painting’s creation that Achenbach actually travelled to Norway.

The Australian painter John Peter Russell got to know Vincent at Fernand Cormon’s studio. He painted this portrait of his friend in 1886 in a conventional, realistic style. It is clearly influenced by photography, although the face and the hand still show Impressionist touches. The portrait was not so dark originally.
Another artist, Archibald Standish Hartrick, met Van Gogh at Russell’s studio. He later recalled: ‘[Russell] had just completed that portrait of him in a striped blue suit.’ You can indeed just make out a few little blue stripes at the lower edge of the painting. Analysis has revealed, moreover, that the words ‘Vincent, in friendship’ were painted in red over Van Gogh’s head. In Hartrick’s view, this was the most accurate portrait of Van Gogh – more realistic than the likenesses done by other artists or any of Vincent’s self-portraits. Van Gogh was very attached to it. Years later, he wrote to Theo: ‘take good care of my portrait by Russell, which means a lot to me.
There were a lot of protest songs about Iraq and then it just seemed to fizzle out
I just want angry punk to have a major comeback
I don’t really care for Jared Leto and think he’s a creepo, but I recently watched the movie Dallas Buyers Club and thought he did a great job actually
Wow it looks sunken into the tree!
Lookin at you, lemmy.world/c/cat! xD
Yep, still relevant!
Intense gaze!
I’m pretty boyish and minimal in style lol. I like comfortable and low effort. I’ll call it: Grown up grunge?
Like imagine Vans, band tee, flannel, ripped jeans. But instead of ripped jeans, make it black slacks/trousers. Instead of flannel, make it a solid button-up shirt left open.
Mix and match to get the desired balance. For example…
Lug-sole boots instead of sneakers/Converse
Leather bag instead of backpack
Coat, cardigan or blazer instead of flannel
I might pair cargo pants with a collared sweater or slim turtleneck
Etc.
Other than the obvious stuff to get around with, I always keep a colored lip balm, small mirror, spare toothpicks, hair ties, hand sanitizer, ear buds, and a pen. :)
In a bigger bag, I’ll throw in a hat, sunglasses, and a tote bag for grocery shopping.
Yeah I have a few accounts and noticed I’ve been getting these DMs on the ones that are more active.
The spatzle top right is interesting! I guess there’s some crossover from Germany
They’re also born with soft quills that don’t get stiff til after birth :)

What a productive day of birding! I don’t live in the UK, so I’m surprised by the parakeets and gadwalls:)
