Sword swallowing: theatre of peril—steel flirting with the fragile machinery of breath. A carnival dare where discipline outruns fear and the crowd forgets to blink. Applause tastes metallic.

Tongue twisters: linguistic booby traps—syllables slick as soap, consonants colliding in a comic pile-up. Your mouth sprints, trips, laughs, tries again. Language tying itself in knots just to prove it can. Give us your best 👅.

Pistols: compact thunder, ego wrapped in metal—history’s argument distilled to a trigger and a heartbeat. They promise power, deliver consequence. Handle the myth with care; it bites louder than it boasts.

Bartenders: custodians of confession, polishing glasses while secrets slide across the wood. Ice cracks, lies soften, and honesty seeps out between sips. They pour courage —and watch reality wobble.

A slow ceremony of ember and thought—tobacco smoldering like a small, stubborn volcano. Looks scholarly, smells like yesterday’s library, tastes like a risky nostalgia. Contemplation with a cough at the end.

Ah the Whippet, aerodynamic noodles with eyes like polished marbles—built for warp speed and sofa loafing in equal measure. One moment a blur across the horizon, the next a trembling comma under a blanket. Elegance with a turbo button.

Escaping Kinshasa, udderly traumatic. Sweat soaked, ears ringing, gloves are on...or off. Don't forget the cow now. A rumble in the jungle gone bad.

Farewell Year of the Snake: silk-smooth, sharp-eyed, coiled with quiet intention. Wisdom sliding through the grass, you shedded old skins and old lies. You moved softly. Now transform without apology. 🐍💥

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows
I took the blows
And did it my way.

Just wear the dress? Wear it if it roars your name. Wear it if it feels like rebellion stitched in fabric. Or don’t. Clothes are costumes for the daily circus—choose the one that lets you breathe fire, and don't forget the tiara 👗

Saturday melting into Sunday: the neon howl of freedom dissolving into the slow drip of responsibility. Glitter in the carpet, coffee in the veins, time slouching toward Monday with a smug grin. Weekend, you slippery beast.

Valentine’s Day: roses bleeding sentiment, hearts wobbling on overcooked promises. Love—feral, inconvenient, magnificent—wrapped in satin and expectation. Kiss like it’s reckless. Feel like it’s war. 💘

Beaks as blueprints, feathers scribbled by time itself. Tiny anarchists hopping across the Galápagos, rewriting the rules of creation one seed at a time. Evolution with wings—nature’s mad editor, red-inking the planet. 🐦

Monday, crappy Monday! Weekend toxins still exiting your crinkled body, vague flashbacks of peeing on someone's leg.

Ronald Reagan: Hollywood grin welded to Cold War thunder. A genial cowboy riding optimism through nuclear anxiety, selling America a sunnier script while the missiles stayed loaded backstage. Charm as policy. Smiles with consequences. 🤠

t’s been a while since we had a look for some prints. But we’ve looked and found this collection to put on @HeadVisionArt today. There’s birds, Hunter, Leonardo, Dylan Thomas, whisky and a whole load more. https://t.co/25gcn7hqqd
