Thai Kitchen

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.
