I love my dark heresy party its only been 3 sessions so far but they've

accidentally murdered a cashier and spent a whole session derailing as they struggled to hide the body

broke a vending machine trying to get snacks out of it and almost cost the potential alliance with the admech

turned a player character into a roomba

almost killed another player character because the ogryn was the only one with medicae for some reason, but he fumbled the roll so hard he instead beat the guy up and broke all his ribs trying to do CPR

investigated where the party ogryn's missing rat went instead of investigating the cult

had a group of cultists flip flop between thinking they're also cultists and not trusting them because they kept saying the right things immediately followed by the worst most braindead sentences

bullied another player character after a torture / interrogation scene because he "focused too much on the toes"

one of them got sent to live in the servitor closet because he said the fancy noblewoman inquisitor "didn't look a day over 70"

brought a suspicious very obviously dubious heretical dangerous crystal aboard the ship and hid it somewhere without telling the inquisitor

argued for 5 minutes about the correlation between evilness and being bald

Bird photobomb from a scene in the campaign with @sefusneezed

Silly filter went on him instead

Emil O'fifiti. She's my interrogator OC who's 5'0. 💀

edit: She's supposed to be tan TT, the filter didn't really do her justice so I painted it over a bit

I'll be playing her in @sefusneezed's Dark Heresy campaign! I can't wait. :D

Introducing February's Patreon-exclusive pin!

Info:

Those who subscribe to Tier III will receive a different enamel pin each month, along with everything else included in the previous tiers. Pins sent out each month are limited in quantity! Pin designs will not repeated, so if you miss out on a previous month's pin, you won't have a chance to get it in the future.

This tier is limited to 50 subscribers, US residents only (for now) ---

About the pin: Derived from my piece "Seraphim" (2020) from my Choir series, "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus" (holy, holy, holy), is a proclamation by 'heavenly beings'. In medieval manuscripts, words so prolific in their use were abbreviated to save space on rare and valuable parchment. In this case, the composition of this pin forced the shortening of "sanctus" to "SCS". Another example, "spiritus sanctus (the Holy Spirit; every scribe in the Middle Ages would know that one) became "SPS SCS". These pins are only available from February 1-28.

P.S. There is still time to grab a January pin! By tomorrow, they'll be unavailable.

The fact that Fountain is pissing off trads over a 100 years later is so fucking funny

fairyhaven13

As an art major, while I know Fountain is a valid piece of art that accomplished exactly what it set out to do, I also think it’s one of the stupidest things. We have a urinal in a museum display. I have yet to see a work I think is dumber.

The thing I love most about Duchamps urinal piece is that it was so “low cost” in terms of creative labour (compared to say, a large scale oil painting or sculpture for example), but it’s absolutely FULL of rage against the traditionalists and the world at that time and it’s SUCH a statement, it’s like, “oh just a mass manufactured item with a signature” but the reality of it is so many layers of meaning and without understanding the history at the time you don’t get it.

It’s an incredibly clever “fuck you” and I love it

An old professor of mine, an expert in Duchamp who has written several books, has a theory. In part, “Fountain” was a prank, a personal “fuck you” to the organization looking for artworks. It’s importance cannot be overstated, and this importance stems from the fact that “Fountain” is /ridiculous/. It is enraging, it is hilarious, and it is very fascinating.

Aside from Duchamp’s readymades, I love “Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors Even”. Pictured below, the work invokes a complex machine, one my professor spent a great deal of time studying. Eventually, he reached his conclusion. My professor had been pranked. He believes “Bride Stripped Bare” is a joke about masturbation, hidden to all except those study it excessively.

At first blush, Duchamp’s works are stupid. Upon further study, they’re very complex. And, upon true understanding, Duchamp is laughing at you. To me, it seems the closer you come to truly understanding Duchamp, the more he slaps you in the face with a large fish.

Let me rage about “traditionalism revival” here. This is a dogwhistle.

As a lover of art, there are many complex and technically impressive works being created today, which both embrace different artistic traditions and break from them. To ignore those is to ignore contemporary art.

Here, OP is raging against conceptual art, which stimulates thought and challenges tradition. He wants his followers to believe that art has “degenerated”, because the West has “degenerated”. OP is intentionally engaging with fascist ideas of “degenerate art”.

If OP wanted to be accurate, he would seek to restore the Salon System, the Beaux Arts Academy, and classical training in the arts. The collapse of this specific system allowed for Modernism to evolve. Of course, that’s not what OP is talking about. He’s evoking beauty as a moral standard, telling his followers to “restore Western tradition”, to fight against aesthetic “degeneracy” in culture.

(By the way, Duchamp is commenting ON MODERNISM with “Fountain”. Duchamp submitted the work to the Society of Independent Artists’ salon in New York, who would accept any work by any artist, for a small fee. In part, Duchamp is saying, “Is this what you Modernists want? A urinal? Look me in the eyes and prove this is not art.”

If OP dared to use his brain, perhaps he would agree with Duchamp here.)

The thing is that it isn’t even a urinal! It doesn’t match any model manufactured at the time. Also Duchamp was an accomplished ceramicist. It’s likely that he made the sculpture and absolutely everyone is like “I know what a urinal looks like. This is sufficiently urinal-shaped for me to assume it is one without looking at it closely!”

Duchamp had other readymades, like his snow shovel, where if you actually look at the photos, the handle is square and the bowl is way too flimsy. Why would manufacturers make a snow shovel with a squared-off handle? It’s impossible to hold! Duchamp slapped the “readymades” label on all these items and the hoity-toity art people who were so good at looking at things didn’t see it (probably because they’d never had to do labor like shovel snow imo, amongst other things).

wait what. there… what?!?! IT ISN’T AN ACTUAL URINAL?!? or might not be anyway. what the fuck.

if the dude seriously did that, his troll game is out of everyone’s league except Leader Kibo.

My favorite thing about Fountain (besides the fact it has been pissing off fascists for over a century, natch) is that the original was lost and he made a bunch of official editions to sell to various museums (after the original was lost, possibly on purpose).

And they’re different! If it was a real “readymade” he could have just bought some more at his local hardware store, but no. He changed them in OBVIOUS WAYS.

See the triangle of holes?

Here’s the one from the Tate Modern:

Oh hello, cross-holes. Fancy seeing you here.

SFMOMA’s edition has the triangle holes, but it also has a line of holes at the top that are completely different from either other version.

Here’s one from Moderna Museet. Line and a circular set of holes!

Duchamp definitely intentionally made these different on purpose. It’s a “readymade” but it’s not, really, each of these is a specific custom creation.

It’s not even clear if he made it! He wrote a letter to his sister claiming that a female friend sent it to him, and he just enrolled it in the art exhibit under his own name. There’s also a possibility that that female friend was himself, since he later had a female pseudonym of Rrose Sélav.

This whole piece of art is a fractal troll, and it’s a beautiful one.
