Sure! It's called Ha Long Bay No. 26. It lives here in my house. The artist is Khanh The Bui from Vietnam.
The rocks and boats in the bay are a frequent subject of his. This one I liked in particular for the color palette and also the exaggerated size contrast between the boats and the rocks. Irl the boats are not nearly this small, nor the rocks this large. The exaggerated contrast combined with things like the rocks have reflections in the water, and the boats don't, gives a sort of sense that the humans are temporary and ephemeral compared to the rocks, which are eternal.
Like I said, I stared at this thing for three years before I finally bought it haha. I haven't gotten it framed yet because $$ and also I'm afraid to transport it lol. But I'll get that done.
Here's his page on Saatchi:
This one particular painting that I've been staring at on Saatchi Art for three entire years. It's the first time I've purchased something expensive that was not also practical, and I'm really happy I finally did. It makes me really happy.
10 mins by car. I don't commute. I refuse.
The best lengthy commuting situation I ever had was when I lived in the Phoenix, AZ area going to community college and also working full time. I'd do homework on the bus to school, then on the light rail from school to work and back again. Total commute time was 2hrs per day, but it felt productive and like it added to my day instead of being a burden and a waste.
The house my parents bought when I was a teenager had red shag carpet. You wanna talk about horrific
Every time you hear some edgelord on the internet suggest we exterminate all the world's poor people to "solve" climate change, always remember that Thomas Malthus was wrong:
I mean, we're fast approaching the 3rd anniversary of my first Covid vaccine dose, and I'm still waiting to drop dead the way they promised.
I've eaten at a 2 star Michelin restaurant. It was definitely theater and not a meal. The Menu is one of the best dark humor movies I've ever seen because it's honestly not that far off lol
An adultier adult
"While you're bringing corn, I already ate the polenta" is brutal
"Drip the divine"
I love that Czech has a phrase for "spill the tea" but way cooler
Omg I didn't notice until you pointed it out, but that's exactly the kitchen from Poltergeist.
