Just read some article somewhere, that told me what I had already thought ... BUT I had not put 2+2 together, namely; once they start charging to make a comment or even to read the rest of their article (cc or dc needed to pay) - WALK AWAY, because they are collecting your digital data, analysing your views for their digital analysis of you. I think Youtube tried it first ... but then people left the site in droves, as they have done on the MSM.
People are awakening - there is hope; ???.... but I think free speech
and descent to "their orders" the globalist scumbags and their puppet politicians ... is being whittled away ....plus plus. Notice the pace of their agenda - are they panicking, or do they know that so many of us are "ignorant morons" for the taking. The "F****ing C***ts"...
I have long wanted a young IT whizz kid to manage all things online. At least I know how to 'work' Substack. They are constantly suggesting video, voice, additional options. It's too much for me; I'm more interested in fresh air and sunshine!
Unless your decentralised…online is a waste of time unless you’re willing to operate in the limited spectrum of debate you will be algorythmd out of existence. Real world connections far better quality than any online connection. Quality not quantity. And yes they want your data. Thats what its all about
Wild Tiger here again. I accidentally found a gallery (small collection) of your work on my phone from one of your posts and laughed out loud at your amazing humor. Please make a gallery of your work. And! Go get your ART! I especially love in particular a pink hairdo in one of your illustrations.
I am a BA (Hons) architectural graduate because my art teacher at school said our new Prime Minister Thatcher would give no money to the arts, so I was advised to take a more academic route.
I should have stuck to architecture; I'd be worth a fortune today instead of painting so often for free. Still, modesty aside, I have produced among the greatest images of Ataturk in Turkiye's 100 years.
He was too brill for the world he was born into. His brother, Theo was a generous benefactor. The ear episode was an expression of frustration. Perhaps he didn’t have Netflix to quiet his genius chatter.
I say “Van Gough” referencing a study by mathematicians and physicists who studied his brush strokes illustrating “the wind,” they found them to be fundamentally precise. Your gorgeous artist of choice was also a precision master. I love his masterpieces.
I do ask myself why Van Gogh was so miserable; he had an art agent brother apparently supporting him throughout. Cutting off an ear is extreme and rather denigrates the wonder of life and human design whether by God, natural evolution, space dust or however...
Why? I’m guessing it may have been something toxic in the paint that affected his mind. I think he was a good man with a somewhat sad life and an incredible drive to paint everything around himself, for which we are grateful.
I had a friend, painter, sculptor, sadly gone 2014, who said to me 'depression is an excuse for behaving badly'. As some one who has frequently 'behaved badly', I suspect there is truth in this. Having completed this 24 hour painting, I returned to my hotel room to find that friend had died while I'd been producing this...
Today we have e.g. autism, obscenely over-weight people.... goodness knows what we have in our food, transfections... if only we had a decent civil process.
I must call you “Darling” - I like your posts here.
Michelangelo breathed in - on his back! the fresco process for years and kept secret his passions from society and was never deemed mad. He lived (not) long enough. What a man!
What if “the breed of cat” - the ‘Artist’ (I was married to a mad artist) is just a special human - who sees and expresses what sleepers don’t or refuse to see… like Banksy.
True about Mich! But I know formulations for artists’ paints
have been changed over the years as toxicity levels have been found to be dangerous. Surely I was worse to be mixing your own paint from scratch, and no telling with what.
Cheers, made up and sorry about the result.
The content is
heartfelt. Sympathies
You and biologyphenom are the few reasons i log onto substack anymore. Its getting like twatter, including what we’re presented with by the algorythm.
Algorithms.
I publish where I can & it makes little difference. I can choose to stop or keep doing it. I keep doing it.
PS I just lost a Subscriber following this last post! My sense of humour remains though.

UK Government Data (Use and Access) Bill
https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3825
I saved a quote from somewhere:
‘The biggest government power grab of modern times. Your personal data not anymore. That belongs to the government now.’
Decentralised federated platforms are one way of avoiding the algorythms
Sure that i a great help... BUT WHAT for an "older guy" ?
Real world conversation. Try to talk one on one with people when the opportunity arises. Admittedly getting harder to do!

I'm not very good at online presentation. I lost my Red Bubble shop and rather lost enthusiasm. Being 'political' risks censorship & suspension.
My Turkish partnership is less than proficient.
I must do something about it, but where, which platform?
I'm not sure what the 'pink hairdo' refers to.
WOW, thank you... and sorry about last night - the goal was offside BUT we deserved at least 1 red card.
I think it's Liverpool's. En plus. we have lost Gabriel for the rest of the season.
That plastic curtain images is among the saddest, but it is what happened. I'd rather publish happier material, but we must address the... well, evil.
I am LOVING this! Reading it twice to absorb it. Good writing. Great artistic style. It roars! Rock on!
I feel it's akin to pissing in the wind sometimes.
Thank you for your comment. It's makes the pissing more worth the while.
Be you, Van Gough…piss mightily “in the now.”
Tamam!
Turkish for OK!
Lastly, use the energy of frustration - same energy - and put it into your worthy work. You have “it.”
Great work, BTW!
You see?!? When we have been exposed to countries of cultures other than our own do our minds expand and our hearts open. It is part of our education.
Who cares what grade you give yourself! The culture you bring and your experiences enlighten us.
I encourage you to continue.
I do Duolingo practice sporadically to keep my hand in. I must retrieve 300 artworks from there one day, so must return one day...

Loved the YouTube! Thanks!
That is my last canvas painting. The church was so beautiful, I accepted to display there.
When the Turks put Ataturk's Eyes on the mausoleum steps of their founding father, t'was me, a bloody Englishman

OH MY GOODNESS! THAT WAS AMAZING!
You are a TREASURE! So TALENTED! Thank you for sharing. I am honored to have exchanged words with you.
Easy tiger, but thank you.

Lovely comments. Thank you.
Agreed! This is fabulous work! I have to watch it again!

Never watched Netflix; I just deal with frustration best I can.
So, how do you say, “Go, Baby, Go!”
Hadi bebeğim hadi!
Sounds like: had-ee be-beh-im had-ee
Bebek = baby, bebeğim = my baby. Silent 'g'.
Let's go is a typical Turkish phrase:
Hadi gidelim!
I'm not Turkish, utterly English, but did live there for a while and considering how long, my Turkish is crap.

Most appropriate.

Will keep the water works healthy and on tap!

Toxic paint? Could well have been.

However, who knows what crap and nonsense people were eating, drinking, breathing in Van Gogh's time.
Lead, cadmium, cobalt
Indeed.
Today we have e.g. autism, obscenely over-weight people.... goodness knows what we have in our food, transfections... if only we had a decent civil process.
Absinthe
Could have been.
Thought to Gaye,

I suspect Banksy has state/intelligence agency support. Mind you, so many have e.g. Pollock.

I've used acrylic for years. They produce so many tones of colour, I never mixed them. Compared to past times, we are so spoilt for choice.
