i couldnt pick one because i cant look at anything ive made and not see the failures in either execution or symbolism BUT these all come from an intense place in my heart and i am proud of them! in particular the modern communion still life i still think is one of the best ideas i’ve ever had but my high school acrylic execution was weak… in comparison to the oil still life in the corner thats very pretty but very meaningless!

- Eugène Delacroix, Apollo Slaying the Serpent Python: I could stay in this gallery for hours and just stare at the ceiling if that was socially acceptable
- Michaelangelo, Sistine Chapel: You know her, you love her! Especially when it’s summer and you’re absolutely in need of fresh are and so you round the corner to see this diva!! la vita è bella
- Sandro Botticelli, The Birth of Venus: I love the pastels in this so much and the way the hair flows and the shell and just 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 I will laugh every time this is emulated in media!!!
- Kehinde Wiley, Philip the Fair: I saw this at a museum when I was a mess emotionally and it was so beautiful and vast and gorgeous that I teared up!
- Pierre Auguste Cot, The Storm: This is for the yearning and when I see it I’ll year again every time without fail
- Hans Holbein the Younger, The Ambassadors: I love these two freaks and the fun little sneaky third guy!! I learned about this in a history class that I ended up despising bc my brain doesn’t work to memorize dates are u kidding me!! I remember all the paintings and this one was always such a fixture for me
- Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith and Her Maidservant: it’s definitely the theater adult in me that lives and loves Baroque but with that in mind - the lighting in this is so powerful

i always enjoyed this painting, but it's a piece that made me appreciate seeing art in person because the scale of it is so striking and adds so much.
it's wonderful to look at on a screen, but when i was in the national gallery in edinburgh and i turned the corner and saw this i was absolutely blown away

A 10/10 perfect DEBUT album that is dark, raw, and has it's fair share of hot and sweaty Hozier will open your mind to undead love (Literally), toxic situationships, and escaping the Catholic Church.
Self titled is for the lovers*, indie escapists, and existential dreaders out there, and I know you're out there, so why not lose your mind to something with deep lyrics instead of bad vocals?

Yes, physical media for the win! DVDs too, they're cheap now and the quality (Especially on the 4k restorations) are soooooo good, seriously, it's worth it
