And today, on errands, delivery truck, another pick up at the junction, a couple dozen boxes of kitchen stuff (really, no kidding, like WTF?) and a hundred or so paintings. The artist? A. Moder. An older, elderly even, German (?? From the accent) fellow, I shook his hand and told him how glad I was to meet him and that his paintings were selling out at the thrift shop. I didn't mention the $5.00 Price-Point.
He seemed pleased, I told him he should continue painting. That his best work was yet to come. And I think he went off to his studio afterwards...
Unloading at the thrift shop I met a fan of his. He wondered where all this great art was coming from, deceased perhaps? And I said no, I thought the same, but I was just there, met the man, shook his hand, and now he wants to know all about him...

This, the only choice for Thai Curry at the Co-op, and so I try it. I have low expectations, and they're completely defeated.
It advertises itself as "Vegan", then recommends adding lime, chicken bouillon, fish sauce, sugar. It's Vegan only until you want some flavour....
7$ for a 2 oz jar, triple what I'd a paid in Calgary for 16 oz of an authentic curry paste...Bloody fucking hell. And the curry? Completely unremarkable. I mean, follow all the instructions on the jar (and when do I ever to that?) and still it's bland. Maybe I was meant to snort it? Anyways, Thai Curry - Mae-Ploy is the brand to buy, Aroy-D is the brand for Coconut Milk, you can still enjoy a reasonably priced curry and with the money you save you can buy some Bitcoins or NFT's. No Shit.

Outsider art, in the vein of Marwencol. Love the dolls, the explanations, the portraits.

A surprising lack of online references for someone I suspect in a few years will be much better known. And - you remember that little craft project where bored grandmothers would take some kids clothes/overalls, and fill them with stuffed nylons and arrange it to look like a child looking the other way in their living rooms? I mean, everyone's grandparents had one....well, her dolls take this to the next level...

Sometimes YouTube delivers on it's recommendations. I found this video quite inspiring.
The video provides context and interpretation. If you just want to look at the art, or see more of his art, click here.
