    Alright, after my epic 3 month trip around the world I'm still editing videos and it's a slog. I carted a whole movie studio of crap around and a full painting studio. Even though I made it small it was still a monster slog. When I got back I started working to slim down:

    But I can't imagine how this is going to gut the Chinese airlines. They let me cancel no questions asked, like they really wanted me to cancel. I'm betting it's incredibly hard to run an airport right now, and canceling is better for them.

    The Portrait Painters of America convention: Gonna be fun...I hope...sometimes those portrait people are a little fascist.

    I'll doing a shorter one, going through Osaka, Kyoto, Bangkok, Phanat Nikhom, Chantaburi, *maybe* Chiang Mai, Amsterdam, then Miami. Then after that I'm in Orlando for a week for:

    So, I decided to go through Amsterdam instead, and leave on TAP Portugal. With credit card points and everything it ended up being the same price as my previous itinerary, and I get 5 days in Amsterdam. I guess that means I'm doing *another* Accidental World Tour:

    I watched the prices almost every day and pretty much if you go to the west coast of the USA then all of your cheapest flights go through China. The alternative is through Moscow to Europe, which was reasonable going to Amsterdam. Today the price dropped to the lowest yet, $410

    I had booked a flight from Bangkok to LAX in April as a return trip on Xiamen Airlines, which goes through Xiamen China. Then coronoavirus and a new H1N1 outbreak and I waited to see if it'd get better, but it's too risky to have flights canceled. I had to cancel it and rebook.

    Second layer of this 12x18 oil painting of 's cat. There's this brush called an "Eclipse Comber" that should just be called "Cat Hair Magic Brush".

    Alright here is the color study, and first layer I did today. This first layer has to dry then I do more until I'm done. The color study is a 6x8 on oil paper to study the photo, then the large one is 12x18 and done more accurately from the photo.

    And if design and art has never been capitalist, propagandist, or authoritarian then why are there so many paintings of kings? Let's face it, art has never been socialist or for the people. It's always been self-serving and courting the favor of the powerful.

    Just go read about Rembrandt's workshop and others from that era and you see it's a manufacturing operation. The atelier system of education is based on this even, where students learn aspects of painting by doing them in an assembly line style.

    So the idea that systematization of art is somehow anti-artistic is bullshit, and it's always been bullshit. Artists for millennia were professionals who made products and wanted quality, and to create that quality product they crafted systems & manufacturing operations.

    In fact, every time I see someone whine and complain about being forced to bow down to The Man and create a design system, I almost always catch them using a homegrown system to get their work done faster. Macros, templates, tricks, brushes, special software, everything.

    That, my friends, is systematization--or industrialization if you want to make people hate being good at making a product--so to say artists hate using systems is ludicrous. It's an entirely modern idea born out of the boomer's obsession with Freudian/Jungian psychology in art.

    1. When the flowers are in bloom do small paintings of them from the same light direction. 2. When they'd get a commission they'd reuse these flowers as reference and basically copy them. 3. These were kept secret, with assistants being yelled at for not locking "the cabinet".

    You would start a painting in Fall and have to keep going until the end of Winter, and you can't get those flowers. There's also a finite number of flowers and only a few angles you need, so the old masters did the following:

    Paintings like this involved many many layers of oil paint, with each layer needing weeks to months to dry before the next layer. Flowers don't last that long, and many of these flowers don't bloom at the same time. Some of these paintings could also take 6 months, 2 seasons.

    A hatred of industrialization seems to also call up the idea that "old masters" hand painted everything and never used efficiencies like optics, when we know they used lenses, projections, grids, and did small studies of objects then "shopped" them into their paintings.

    Especially modern Design's root in Futurism: Which was the foundation of fascism and a major inspiration of industrialization, the brutality of the machine, and methods of fascis propaganda.

    Any hatred of industrialization in design is now far too late. Design is a discipline born in a world of commercialization and entirely about selling people products, beliefs, and propaganda. The entire discipline has zero moral ground when talking about industrial capitalism.

    Also guitarists who are notorious for talking about doing things "naturally" like, not using a little hair band on their guitar to stop strings from ringing when they play on a high gain amp...but then....they're using a fucking electric guitar and an insanely complex amp.
