Thank YOU, Luis, for this link to the article about the artist and her airplane bathroom gallery of portraits in the Flemish style.
(If you've stumbled upon this thread, be sure to follow the link, then take a moment to search out and enjoy the artist's linked gallery.)
Mad, mad propz for her extraordinary creativity.
And HOW did she manage to keep a straight face?
@Guillotine_Jones sadly it is not on the web, at least not last time I looked, but there is a video in the collection of SFMOMA of her lip-syncing Queen/Bowie "Under Pressure" while in alternating versions of this getup. It is truly sublime.
@luis_in_brief
That WOULD be sublime, Luis!
@Guillotine_Jones ah-ha, you have to imagine the music in your head but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn1K-ttdoxY

@cmconseils 😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@cmconseils @TheBreadmonkey Okay, I did that accordion-style LOL where you wheeze, well done 🏆

@cmconseils

This reminds me of the time a young family member was staying with us. He was building some enormous palace out of the inner cardboard tubes from toilet paper. The construction was approaching the size of Versailles before anybody thought to ask where he was getting quite so many tubes.

Suffice it to say that the toilet paper had not been used in the normal course of things, and the downstairs loo was blocked for about a week. Dad was not amused.

@linguacelta @cmconseils At eight I decided to be a knight for Halloween. I used approximately 1000 staples three cans of silver spray, paint and every brown paper bag in a three block radius, for my very intricate completely articulated suit of armor. My father was not pleased that I had used every staple in the house lol although after seeing the final product He actually praised it. 🥰 🤣

@Pineywoozle

Please tell me there's a photo????

@linguacelta I wish but it was long before cell phones lol I also made Cinderella’s chariot for a friend that same Halloween. I was always making stuff. In 5th grade me and a friend drew horse outlines on 10 by 10 pieces of plywood and filled them in with glued on pinto beans.LoL Sold our Pinto Ponies door to door till we got bored.
😜
@cmconseils
Looking at that makes me think it must have been truly awful to be autistic with sensory issues back when stuff like that was fashionable.
@cmconseils
Laura, I really did laugh out loud to your caption and this picture.
And if I were wearing his attire, I'd probably have his expression, too.
Once again, great work on the AltText.
@cmconseils Back in the 1650's they already used filters in their pictures.

@cmconseils I tried to replicate this look some time ago. Self portrait.
@mve @cmconseils Ohhhh, that is delightful. Are you familiar with the work of Nina Katchadourian? She has a whole series of Flemish-style self-portraits put together in -- and only with the materials available in -- airplane lavatories. http://www.ninakatchadourian.com/photography/sa-flemish.php

@mve @cmconseils The series (“Seat Assignment”) includes a two-screen video version of Queen/Bowie's "Under Pressure,” which is one of the best things I've ever gotten to see. (The audio is not recorded here, but if you sync the video to the song, it's astonishing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn1K-ttdoxY )
