As promised, the weekend I kicking off the ✨Build a Heretic✨ thing!
Yes, I do agree that selection is very anthropocentric and ignores the capabilities of our xenos friends in committing heresy, but unfortunately the Black Crusade rules seem to be focusing on these two options and so do I.
Reblogs are appreciated, adding propaganda for your choice in the tags/replies/etc is encouraged! Hopefully we will have fun!

01.06: frivolous joys i had as i spent a day in mumbai
rode in a taxi; might sound dull but i’ve always wanted to be in a mumbai taxi; the drivers were very sweet
simply stood and stared in awe at chhatrapati shivaji terminus; it IS majestic
had pani puri at juhu beach - a place of romantic interest to my parents; although i could barely see the sand because it was so crowded
had the time of my life in chhatrapati shivaji maharaj vastu sangrahalaya; didn’t want to leave; locals get to visit this place regularly? i’m jealous
gained a lot of respect for people who can drive in mumbai
enjoyed my hotel stay; i had quite some free time so i took over the sofa and finished a book in one sitting; the fishermen by chigozie obioma was so gripping and haunting; a story about brotherhood, family, a madman, prophecies, grief, violence, colonialism, and much more all wrapped up in a beautifully written folktale; has a striking resemblance to the oral storytelling traditions of many indigenous cultures

Art Fairs: Art Galleries vs Artists
Artists often find it hard to get a warm welcome in galleries. Gallerists are primarily at art fairs to make money. Understandably, they might get annoyed when artists try to talk to them during these busy times. The investment for a booth is far from minor. However, to an extent, this rejection also happens in art galleries. Is it the only business where the sellers don't welcome the makers? Does the artist have a responsibility in this situation?
“At Art fairs, gallerists are nice and friendly until they realize you are an artist. Then they turn away and don’t talk to you anymore.”
- José Freitas Cruz, artist, Mozambic

These signature works from different collections of mine are currently on exhibit at Adelman Fine Art. If you can, experience the magic in person. I do offer private in-person and digital tours. Your support makes what I do possible, and when you feed an artist, you feed your soul 😘
