    Boredom Makes Men To Villains

    About This Artwork

    Every order bought today (Oct 31, 2025) will receive a free double sided varnished sticker from the kings at Sticker Robot! The sticker quotes the sailor's hymn read in the film. . I'm embarrassed to say that I first watched The Lighthouse not in a grand theater or large screen tele but on a teeny iPad screen one night while I struggled to fall asleep. The experience watching it left me feeling as though I was slowly going insane. The claustrophobic nature of the film and the jittery and unnerving paranoia between Pattinson and Dafoe left my head swimming. I thought it was one I'd never watch again. But the next morning I found myself sketching Dafoe's face and thinking about nautical imagery. And then a week later I did rewatch the movie. And then twice more after that in the following month. Much of the art I end up loving most starts with an almost negative reaction to the work. This is also true for many of the bands I listen to. In the last year I've gone down an obsessive Xiu Xiu rabbit hole and have now consumed every note they have ever recorded in spite of not initially liking their music on my first listens. If any of this resonates with you then this art is for you. It was something I NEEDED to make. . NOTES: 18 x 22 inches /// 2 screens /// signed and numbered editions of: 1-100 on Crane Lettra paper with hand torn deckled edges /// art is dedicated to Ernest Hemingway

    Current listed price: $65.00.
