Inspiration

Back to life
The screen flickers, then crackles before your eyes like an army of ants waging war, and finally falls silent. You run your palm across its smooth black back, annoyed. Then you sit, your mind hollow, emptied of thought.

The Great Niko Pirosmani
I've been working on this story for several months, and it's going to be long but I just wanted to put a lot of things about Pirosmani in one place. You can read it in parts or come back to it, whatever is more convenient. But if you are into art, this is going to be a treat.

Yellow stars and pink zigzag
Man goes to the doctor: Man: I got bitten by a venomous snake. Doctor: Yes (concentrated on the computer screen). Man: .....? Doc: (concentrated on the computer screen) Man: It hurts on my leg. Doc: I will give you an overall antidote. Man: Ok.... My arm has also begun to hurt. Doc: I'm sorry, we don't have time for this; you have only booked time for one thing. Man: But... Doc: You need to book a new appointment for the other complaint. You are not dying right now, so come back after a month or so. We probably don't have any earlier appointments anyway.

One Work: Girl before a Mirror. Top Story - July 2026.
Like a 1960s version of Tom Sawyer, my big brother got me to purple-wash the beige walls of our parents’ former conjugal quarters. Our dad had moved out of the house and our mom had turned the den into her new bedroom.

One Work: Autumn Rhythm (30). Top Story - July 2026.
I fucking love Jackson Pollock. I know he was a troubled man. Divisive. Controversial. Much like Bukowski. Even when I knew little to nothing about art, I loved the objective brilliance of Pollock blowing convention to fucking smithereens.
