how a sailing ship works

not maybe something i thought would've tweaked my interest when i was young but ever since i saw the vasa in stockholm away back when i do love me a sailing ship! 

rembrandt's prints

 i love these how this was done videos! 

byung-chul han

been doing a fair bit of reading of byung-chul han recently. the burnout society i've seen described as a good basic primer but, for me, i'd say psychopolitics is a better place to start. further, i've seen criticism of him that his books really don't progress, don't rea;;y say anything particularly different from one another. at this stage, i'd have to say i'm inclined to agree but that said, psychopolitics in particular, i've really enjoyed reading him

philip guston

 nice wee doco on philip guston 

pj harvey

pj harvey - without doubt one of the finest english musicians working today. what a joy seeing her do tiny desk 

and i like her so much, here's more. one of the old classics but performed as she is now, not repeating what she did then. love it all! 

vinyl

 old school mixing. ideal for mindless work round the house! 

barniz de pasto cabinet

 v&a delivers again! this was all new information to me! 

tetrapack printing

 there's a couple of things i'd take issue with in this. i think the dark stripes are done with a method she's not shown, i wouldn't apply ink with my bare hands - you'll get coloured fingers and you're asking for trouble with your paper, and i definitely wouldn't even try the spatula method! mainly because it's time consuming, your pressures will never be even, it'll compress your printing surface, and i just don't think it'll work. other than that, solid vid 

and, obvs, i'd be circumspect about tracing someone else's image!
