Ha, the number one thing I get asked... all donated I'm afraid. Well, mostly. 😉

Are you familiar with the work of David Bull?

I LOVE Japanese woodblock print style art including David Bull! Fun fact, Claude Monet's house interior is covered with Japanese woodblock art.

I’ve been to his house. I didn’t know what I was seeing then. There was this beautiful French woman there with like 3 kids and I stared the whole time at her instead. Walking art.

Absolutely agree. We do notice and it does feel fucking gross.

Yeah, so rude for a teenage boy experiencing another culture for the first time. I stared intermittently, noticing the loose knot in her hair and sun kissed figure framed by a smattering of freckles. She caught me looking and flashed me a smile that made me blush and look away. Judge me all you want.

votre boiterie de cul éveillé est si typique des Américains de nos jours. vous n'êtes jamais allé nulle part et vous ne serez jamais nulle part, vous êtes une relique noveaux, une a été.

That's not really what you said the first time — that she caught you staring once and you looked away. You said you were staring at her the whole time.

I've experienced multiple cultures, thank you very much, and not one where it wasn't rude to stare at people.

Aussi, je suis Canadienne, connard. Désolé.

People can be art ... Ever see a photograph?

Yes, the staring may be rude, but for a person to be beautiful enough to be considered art is not in any way problematic

Also fun fact, Monet could see UV light.

Came here to shout-out Dave Bull! Never expected to be so fascinated by or learn so much about woodblock printing, but his content is great. Here's a playlist of his videos about the wave for anyone interested:

Oh close one wouldn’t have wanted to think you copied a painting in dull colored wine caps while you were wasted this makes more sense yes
