The other day I cut up one of my paintings which wasn't working into smaller pieces to stretch. I've now re-grounded them with lead oil white, they're drying. I'm trying some new mediums from the Dali books I've been reading all winter. The first application of these new mediums was a disaster. But just like Elon Musk says I'm finding the edges of the box.
The large canvas will turn into 14 smaller, 12 +2 (7 x 2). I'm obsessed with the number seven so some of these canvases are 27 x 37, and some of the diagonals of the bigger ones are 77.7. I was born on a bunch of sevens.
I'm exhausted from cutting, putting together the stretch of bars and the re-grounding.
So now I am reading the Decameron, якоб буркхарт книга за ренесанса на български, and watching the great British baking show. As I got kind of exhausted from Moon News so I'm getting on the Moon diet for a few hours.

Space is a great love for me, but the love of my life is art. Space is just there, art has to be made, it is the triumph of the potential of man. Engineering is also art, unlike art it has to work /

My favorite Belgian Linen has gone nuts /
I was going through my emails and found out that in 2013, I bought three yards of Blick Prime Belgian linen, 54 inches wide, for $172. Now it costs $420. 114 percent increase.

I love NASA and the four brave humans in a tiny can braving the vast cosmic darkness.
Please, NASA, you can do better /
I'm really embarrassed that NASA's presentation has been abysmal. All the graphics, the blue screens, the blurry TV videos, scream government graphics, and there are 15 years olds with no resources that have better presentation. I mean, you have to really work for people to give you billions of dollars because I will give you all the money I got, but there are people out, when the next president comes around, they're gonna completely defund you. if you don't create the excitement that matches the scale of the mission.
