I had a lovely chat last year with Jamie Benning at the @filmumentaries.bsky.social podcast where I got to enthuse about making pictures and influential 1980s BBC science documentaries.

This writer gets it - Fix your hearts, or die.

The same is true for picture making too. The process of thinking/feeling/working to make the image is the point. Otherwise we are all just egesting ‘content’.

This puts it well & it’s a point I keep making about why using AI to write is so flattening. Writing is the process of working out & refining what you think. If I write an article, I’m not just generating 1000 plausible words. I’m trying to articulate ideas with precision, & challenging myself.

Several obituaries have described him as a surrealist. That doesn’t seem exactly right. The US is a surrealist country about which he made realist films. I can’t think of another filmmaker who ‘got’ post-War America like he did. We are unlikely to see another.

It’s going to take us a long time to understand what we have lost with David Lynch’s passing.

Started a work doodle that got out of hand, so I finished it, scanned it, and added some colour in Procreate.

Venice - casein on 16”x20” board.

It was lovely to talk to Art of VFX about all the work on #IndianaJones and the Dial of Destiny. www.artofvfx.com/indiana-jone...

Obsessed with Emily Wilson saying that for most of the Iliad, Achilles' job was beach

Starting off the year with a little painting of Bride of Frankenstein to ease myself back into the picture making mindset.
