I like to paint and I like to get a little philosophical while doing it. I like films and exploring our (humans) sexual nature and how it is the cause of so many of our problems and because I like those things I do them in my spare time.

“Birdman” 

 By Alejandro González Iñárritu

“What do we talk about when we talk about love” (Read Raymond Carver’s Works) and not just about how to be loved. 

“You need to recognize the difference between love and admiration”

This movie is so great, obscure and just bloody fantastic 10/10.

“Me and You and Everyone We Know”

By and starring Miranda July 

The difficulties of connecting with other human beings in a meaningful way makes us waste precious time because we create a lag of sadness by not living our best lives, until love of said life comes and makes it all better. Pathetic and True. 10/10.

“Closer”

By Mike Nichols 

4 people literally and figuratively fucking each other over

You fall in love with a stranger, become extremely close, maybe too close and maybe not close at all just really sexually attracted to each other but the false idea of being “close” instilled in your minds. How fun it is to be a stranger whatever you project which is going to be the coolest version of you, people have to believe.

Anyway don’t fall in love with strangers, getting to know someone is always such a blast, if you get to share genitals that’s just a bonus.

“Warm on a cold night”

Directed by Geej Ower

“Appropriate Behaviour”

By and Starring Desiree Akhavan

Will lying about who you are really destroy your relationships with other people? 

Apparently it will and you should fix that before you lose the love of your life or something?...but being a multi faced hoe is so much easier. I love this film 10/10.

“Monsters”/Masculinities Studies 3

This is a piece inspired by Rene Magritte’s ‘la reproduction interdite”
