You're the first one to point out PIMO. I've actually already made a drawing called 'Physically in' a few months ago. You can propably find it if you look on previous posts. I'm always interested in hearing people's interpretations of my drawings so I think I'm gonna skip the explanation I'd give to it :)

Reply to Daily Bread #12 "Kintsugi Toast", me, bread/resin/gold leaf, 2023 by catriot

This goes beyond cultural appropriation.

I hope the artist knows that this is a shocking piece.

I'm almost serious here.

Because what is Kintsugi ? Kintsugi is the concept that you can make a broken thing more beautiful after repairing it. And usually you'll use gold to repair a more fragile material, so it's not like it's a process that makes sense in terms of craftsmanship. There's an almost religious aspect that pertains to old objects in some cultures.

Is the piece of toast a dragon undergoing a metamorphosis ? Have we angered a primordial spirit of the world by breaking the toast ? Is the toast representing that part of sacredness that the Japanese culture would attribute to the old pottery ?

That piece of toast is giving me a bit of a think.

edit: serious question, how hard/expensive would it be to make a realistic piece of toast out of resin and then weld the thing, without having any bread in there at all. Because I wonder how long the bread will stay that way, even encased in resin. Maybe it just keeps ? Like the mosquito in OG Jurassic Park ?

Honestly this is exactly her style, I was looking for her signature in the corner. I think you took it a little too from being inspired. You can use her techniques but not draw characters the exact same way she does. Artists spend forever developing their signature style so to have someone rip it off is devastating.

Love it. Reminds me of a phrase I learned lurking Mormon and JW subreddits - "PIMO" for "physically in, mentally out".

Maybe the phrase is used more widely than that, but it makes me wonder what circumstances inspired you to portray being constrained to mental freedom only.

Huh, i had no idea Lynch had left by that point. Maybe I'm in the minority who really enjoyed that season 2 arc then. It was a little cheesy at times with the beauty pagent and all, but i found Earle to be a sinister villain topping Frank Booth from Lynch's Blue Velvet. Far stranger and creepy with his overall plans.
