Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.

–Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

Goodreads reviews are a sort of inoculation against the notion that reading is a particularly more thoughtful means of engaging with shit vs like, watching or playing or whatever.

Happy New Year!!!

Thank you all for sticking with me through this crazy and hectic year of moving from California to Sweden. I hope 2026 will be much more relaxing and filled with more art!

This painting is inspired by the Swedish tradition of hanging star lanterns in the windows of every home, so even the days are cold and dark, the cities are lit with cozy magical stars 🌟⭐✨

The very best thing about The Phantom of the Opera is that it shows us a possibly supernatural occurrence, then gives us a natural explanation that is infinitely crazier than the supernatural one would have been.

What if there was a ghost in the opera house that was killing people?

Requires you to accept the existence of ghosts, but otherwise is a straightforward story.

What if the chief contractor who built the opera house was a deformed circus freak who used his experience building palaces and torture chambers for sultans to keep building secret passageways and torture chambers in the basement when construction halted during the Franco-Prussian War, and then kept living down there working on an opera and killing and blackmailing people who crossed him and also training a pretty opera singer that he wants to marry?

There is nothing in the world that could have prepared me to expect even half of that.
