I think that I am going to do my art history paper on Angolo Bronzino’s Allegory with Venus and Cupid. 
There’s just so much going on in this painting…! Also, it’s kind of disturbing and I’ve always liked weird stuff.

ALSO does anyone know of a Canadian online art supplies store? I ordered from DickBlick recently and got a bill from FedEx for $64 in brokerage fees. I’m 90% sure they’re trying to fuck me because I checked their website and it should be like $29 max, but I don’t want to deal with FedEx anymore.

That’s not Photoshop. The Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde has developed a way to create a small, perfect white cloud in the middle of a room. It requires meticulous planning: the temperature, humidity and lighting all have to be just so. Once everything is ready, Smilde summons the cloud out of the air using a fog machine. It lasts only moments, but the effect is dramatic and strangely moving. It evokes both the surrealism of Magritte and the classical beauty of the old masters while reminding us of the ephemerality of art and nature.
Super neat! I want to see it. :)
