A photo taken four years ago by my good friend Ellie. We had just moved in together and shared a small room where our beds touched. Mornings were spent making art on the communal desk. Ellie and I had met three years prior in an art class. How fitting.

Today’s tune

Razorblade by The Strokes.

This is the album that introduced me The Strokes. For that reason, it holds a great deal of nostalgia for me. Razorblade was never a favorite of mine from this album, but has come to contain more meaning to me. Perhaps it is fitting in the era of the indie sleaze revival (not that I’ve ever stopped listening to The Strokes….. I #can’t #stop).

Today’s tune

This might forever be my favorite Cure song. I love this album’s cover art too. I’m a nostalgic person and this song is the epitome of reminiscing the past.

“What does it feel like?”

Rome Wilson, 2024, Oil on canvas, 6ft x 6ft

This painting is one in a series of three. In this series, I explore the act of venturing into new experiences. Rather than focusing on the moment of experience, I investigate the moment before, the contemplative period immediately a decision- a moment charged with profound uncertainty lingering in the air.
