Mister Bovey

When I set this tumblr up originally, I used this account to understand issues around DID. Generally I'm more of a lurker; however, I blog all kinds of random crap that sticks out to me, and if you have a question (or if I don't put a specific trigger warning tag that you feel might be relevant to a post) then free to msg me. However, overall, I have to say: my blog, my rules. If you don't like something I post, I may take notice, but there should be no expectation that I need to, nor that you are privileged over me in this space. For those who worry about triggering, as stated above I do and will continue to attempt to accommodate all reasonable (to me) requests however if you are concerned in general over triggering on Tumblr, you may also wish to check out XKit, Tumblr Savior and/or another similar addon / extension.

Favorite images of Roland Deschain. This is what I see in my mind’s eye while reading the Dark Tower series.

Kenneth Noland: "…I think that when you experience art - I mean really have that experience - when you’re looking at it, it tends to lose gravity. It tends to float…it’s true of Matisse as an example - I mean, Matisses really float. And I think content comes from this experience, from kinetic experience." 

Inspired by the likes of Cezanne and Matisse, Kenneth Noland's interest in the emotional effects of color and geometric form have left us with some of the most vital pieces of abstract art today. Pictured here are two of his paintings that span the course of his career, Vault (1976) and Mysteries: Toward East Light (2002).
