Decoding art, film & visual culture. Visual literacy is power.

Nick Cave’s Grinderman 2 cover:

A wolf in the bedroom? Nope. Look closer — it’s a bathroom. Golden faucet, tub steps, bath mat and all.
Absurd, hilarious, menacing.

New essay on Substack:
There’s Something About the Virgin Mary: From Icons to Barbie Dolls

From sacred icons to Barbie parodies, Mary refuses to disappear. What do these images tell us about women in art?

What if Descartes was less about certainty and more about doubt, wit, and illusion?

Hunter Biden is hiding in plain sight — in his own paintings.

I found him three times. Can you?

New Essay: “Is It Misogyny or Is It Art?”
Kubrick. Lynch. Tarantino.
Are they violent—or are they telling the truth about violence?

This one’s going to rattle some cages.

The Pink Floyd & The Shining (Sync Project) - This project is mostly complete. I'm not 100% sure about "Welcome to the Machine" and "Quicksilver" but these songs seemed to work. Naturally, the video is open for interpretation, and everybody is welcome to add a comment, insert a suggestion, create their own conclusions behind the meaning, and finally if you like it, please give it a heart and tell a friend.

Best to play the video loud and enjoy!

Why I’m launching a Substack (and why it’s not just another blog): 🧵
This has been building for a long time. And it’s about more than just art history, cinema, or decoding symbols. It’s about finally having a space for the kind of voice that doesn’t “fit.” Mine.

The Art Decoder’s Journal launches Wednesday, 7/23.
Expect Kubrick, witches, Salome, forbidden books, visual clues, artistic conspiracies, human empowerment, and a bit of gossip along the way.

[The Object of Art @objects_of_art]

I’ve been quietly building something different, strange, and deeply overdue. Ojects of Art: The Art Decoder's Journal on Substack launches Wednesday, 7/23. If you love Kubrick, art, mystery, ancient symbolism, and decoding visual culture—follow along. I'm ready. Are you?

[The Object of Art @objects_of_art]

🌟 My first official Substack post drops July 23.

Ministry sampled Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket to create one of the most incredible industrial tracks of the '90s.

I made a video about how “Thieves” educates using cinema, sound, and American violence.

Would love to start a conversation about this image. Yes, it’s obvious rage bait that’s been making the rounds lately. But why are people having such strong reactions in either direction over the picture and caption? BTW, it’s pretty clearly an AI picture. Thoughts?
