1 image of 1 portrait of 1 god

"portrait of god" by Schnabel.
Came across this image when a stupid
17yr old or so, and made a photocopy
it was not colour then, it only occurred
to me now to find this image and see it
finally in colour. probably it is big.
I wonder as always where it is in what real world section.

Of course you well know Julian Schnabel as the person who directed the Basquiat film, and was represented in a fictional or something manner in the Basquiat film as the artist who seems to be living in a castle with his daughter and large paintings of his on the wall. Do you suppose he in reality lives in a castle? I hear they are a devil to insulate.

I like this. Indeed, his existence in that film was rather strange.
Played by Oldman, yes? According to truth life though, Jean Michel didn't actually really like Schnabel all that much, though he portrayed himself as some sort of stern-yet-then-relenting paternal figure to him. I like the brief appearance of the band Grey (I think) in the film, Basquiat and Gallo (who is in new release F.F. Coppola film, which is supposed to be good). Schnabel also directed Before Bight Falls about the Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas, played by handsome man good actor Javier Bardem. Worth seeing if you have not. I have a photo of a Basquiat I took on my phone at Tate Modern where I used to spend extended lunches when I really should have been writing at the magazine.

A large black coffee, no sugar, and a shortbread. I took my own sandwiches, but I tended to eat them at my desk whilst working, allowing me more time to wander or read in the gallery.

I did a "work shadow" in tate liverpool around the age of stupid 17. I felt severely uncomfortable and couldn't enter any cafe or anything for lunch time so ended up with a bag of broken rock and sat on a bench facing the river and was cold and nervous probably forever from that moment on. I reached no spot in the adult world to contain me.

This event and what it encapsulates until the end is known as THE GRIT

who is me who me is

. . writes almost only only novella-ish lengthish fictions, and these fictions are almost only "science-fictional", or we can say "SFnal", this allows us to drop the science, and the fiction is not really obligatory also. But there is still something of a zone in which these fictions can be said to be placed, and "~nal . . . A 1979 birth. Lives somewhere in tokyo, that is in japan. How this all happened, I can't remember.

Exists best when spring, when autumn.
