CONSTELLATION: TWO URSA MAJORS

If you were to walk into the room I grew up in, turn off the lights, and look up, you'd see dozens of green-yellow glow-in-the-dark dots arranged in a handful of the most recognizable constellations: Orion, both Ursas, Serpens, etc. As a kid, I had an unspoken obsession with astronomy; I would nerd out in my room with these little information cards about red giants, asteroids, black holes, and all sorts of moons.

This painting was done this summer, inspired by a lovely print of a starry Buffalo in an Apartment Therapy post, but I can't seem to find it again which is very sad.

Enjoy.


And since I'm in the mood for throwbacks, I think this MOUNTAIN GOATS SONG compliments.

ALEXANDER POPE WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU

Today, I was inspired by HARK! A VAGRANT's misquotation shenanigans (see row 3...oh! harhar). There is a need for more poets in the gym.


The unbastardized version:

"To err is human[e]; To forgive, divine." An Essay on Criticism, 1711
