Right: René Magritte, La mémoire, 1948

When the poet Marcel Laconte showed Magritte a copy of Giorgio de Chirico's "Love Song," Magritte was moved to tears and said, "This is the most moving painting of my life. This was the most moving moment of my life... I saw 'thought' for the first time.

A nice little behind the scenes of making the miniatures in Wes Anderson's latest, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Built at The Prop and Model Maker Berlin workshop.

Btw, I probably enjoyed these Roald Dahl/Wes Anderson short films more than either French Dispatch or Asteroid City (although the latter comes close).

The White Stripes: A best of

I did a thing in honor of the WS’s upcoming greatest hits LP - I’ve compiled my own tracklist. Between #14 and #15 would make for a nice A-side/B-side split on vinyl :) I tried to showcase their hit singles, keep up a tonal variety throughout, as well as have the songs flow nicely into one another (also tried to have the order be at least slightly chronological - i.e. first three LP's mostly in the first half, last three LP's mostly in the second). They were one of the most seminal bands for me at a young age, so this was fun to make!
