  • I wonder if young, nubile actresses are relieved when they get to play roles where they don’t have to dress like strippers. Is it wrong to dress like a stripper? No! Would it probably be annoying, or feel limiting, to have to do it all the time, across the span of myriad fictional characters? I bet it would!
  • Man, if I had time out of nowhere, what I’d really like to do is to draw a picture with every hipster art school illustration cliche in it, and see if people liked it. That shit would be hilarious:
  • Tall, fair-haired white girl. Maybe tan? Maybe with freckles?
  • Long, wavy hair.
  • Deer antlers.
  • Giant ugly sweater with intricate pattern.
  • Maybe she is standing in a meadow.
  • Depth blur.
  • Delicate lines.
  • The composition has to be really simple, and the girl has to be very “posed”. Maybe she’s just standing.
  • Earth tone palette + sparse application of neon
  • Eyes are small/narrow/slightly slanted inward in an Audrey Kawasaki way
  • girl is barefoot. No pants. Footless stockings with clashing pattern and holes, at most.
  • Maybe the wind is blowing.
  • There have to be triangles. Maybe instead of having leaves blow in the background, I will put some fucking triangles.
  • triangles.
  • Oh yeah, owls, I fucking forgot about owls. That’s a must.
  • “write vague platitude about being an ineffectual human being above or below picture”
