hi. hello. :) i'm an illustrator in #scotland who draws good-hearted human beings, but i'm also obsessed with suprematism, proun, the cologne progressives, bauhaus, surrealism, abstract expressionism & 1920s/1930s (mostly #french) graphic design. to merge left-wing #politics with sustainability (i mostly work digitally) is my bag. would love to meet people with similar interests.

: he gives serious hair envy. undisputed king of the quiff, he's deservedly one of france's most revered actors. jean gabin & his bloody barnet (probably) were born in 1904. he was, in his earlier years, a staple of film noir, starring in 'pepe le moko' (featuring ) & in jean renoir's phenomenal 'la grande illusion'. he went on to canoodle with simone signoret in 'le chat'. if you don't know who he is, fix that.

digital ink drawing of the inestimable french thespian, jean gabin, ubiquitous lung dart protruding elegantly from his unmistakable facehole. pensive - perhaps, perplexed - jean raises his eyebrows at a sight in the distance. there's a soft, golden cream-coloured moon behind him & he wears a striped winter scarf with his french blue duffle. background is french blue.

Graham King, an Essex businessman who won government contracts paying his firm £3.5m a day for transporting and accommodating asylum seekers has been named among the 350 richest people in the UK.

Profiting from misery the UK way.

#art #history: o, the ignominy of admitting that i'm not extremely intimate with the oeuvre of my subject...
still, she sounds so rad that i had to make sketchy ode to adrienne rich (born #otd in 1929). an essayist & poet who centred the oppression of women & lesbians in her work, adrienne was also a jewish pro-palestinian activist involved with the new #jewish agenda who supported the #BDS movement.

mixed media digital illustration i drew of poet, feminist & activist, adrienne rich. a young & smiling adrienne wields a fountain pen in her right hand, her cheek leaning against the same hand. her left arm is draped over the back of a basic chair. colours are peach, rust & royal indigo.

So you come into my replies on my instance and then block me.

This is what you think happens:

“Haha, everyone will see my reply and he can’t respond.”

Here’s what actually happens:

  • You piss me off
  • I suspend your account and delete your data from my server so it no longer distributes your reply
  • I post a screenshot of your reply so everyone can see the mental gymnastics you have to employ to defend Israel
  • You learn something new

Screenshot of post by verena elisabeth @verenalettmayer: @aral and i guess you think you are an anti-fascist. sorry,: excluding and bullying a person because of their affiliation to israel is not anti-fascist, but ... You know what. and for 1000 times: no governments participate in the , but independent broadcasters (that's why russia was also suspended, because NOT independent).

@aral
she popped up in my mentions & insinuated that i'm antisemitic when i posted about falastinvision. really going hard for a genocidal apartheid state. odd.

gore vidal to a companion, on encountering henry kissinger (staring intently at the hell section of michelangelo's 'last judgment') in the sistine chapel: 'look. he's apartment hunting.'

talking of gore, watch how he takes apart william f buckley jr over the students protesting against the vietnam war. 13(ish) minutes well spent...
