Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.
This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.
All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.
The story in the OP is from Hannah Gadsby’s show, Nanette. It’s on Netflix. It is an extremely good special. Go watch it if you can.
Soo did y'all know you can get a soldering iron for 8 bucks? I didn’t. I do now. I’m about to burn the shit out of myself.

Also i think it might be permanently attached to that table, but y'all know how it is you win some and you lose some .
the horse has been unstuck from the table and i think I’m getting better at this ^^

(this was finished in March 2023,)
Anyways happy birthday to me having a mania fueled sleep deprivation and pots episode in the craft store.
and some more i can’t be fucked to figure out when they were made:
huh, so all you REALLY need to get started is a soldering iron (have one), bunch of broken glass (easily obtained), and a willingness to suffer for your art
I knew someone who was confident as a chef but what he cooked was extremely bad. He planted me in that radish field. He told me that with watering and sunbathing, I would grow faster.
This man took so much longer to crack than I would have what a PROFESSIONAL
Plotting, scheming, etc.
This was filmed at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which rescues, rehabilitates, and releases orphaned elephants in Kenya (among other conservation efforts). Charity Navigator has given it a 4/4 star rating, and you can make donations here or “adopt” a baby elephant here.
THANK YOU FOR THIS IMPORTANT ADDITION.
I have enjoyed this video so much and am very happy to share ways to help the babies!!
“This is a big ass speech. This is a big ass stop the show, this is the moral framework of the entire five years you’ve seen. Nate Ford justifies 77 episodes of Leverage in this speech, cause you know what? It is the last goddamn episode, you’re gonna know why we made the show. We didn’t make the show cause we thought it was clever or cute or fun. I always say this, no show succeeds unless somebody loves it and you know what, everybody loves this show and to me, what Nate’s saying here is important enough to say out loud. No one should be allowed to cheat and get away with it.” - John Rogers, The Long Goodbye Job DVD Commentary
The small Moleskine sketchbooks I kept in the mid 00s, with various things glued to the covers.
It’s random stuff like pieces of (cheap) jewelry & charms; broken plastic/mirrors/tail lights etc. found in parking lots & sidewalks; and the occasional bead, barrette, candy, rock, and even someone’s fake nail.
The 3rd row is actually the back covers of the 2nd row, so you can see how I kept gluing more & more shit to the books as time went on until the thickness was almost doubled by the (protective?) shell of junk accumulated.
