Here we goooo!! In which I become, to my knowledge, the first person to film a video essay while getting tattooed.

I'll be adding an outro and some voiceover from a very special guest, but it's pretty much finished a week early (which I don't think has ever happened?) Final version will premiere next week :)

OMG THAT BUFFET IS SO CUTE!!! Your narration with Vic at the wheel and that lovely piece of furniture in the back is hitting all the ASMR buttons. 🤣

Thank you once again Lily. And please thank for me the artists who worked with you. The potter looks, even moves (so deliberately), uncannily like a dear friend of mine who is going through emotional upheaval currently. They too are an artist: a very talented brewer and distiller of gin whiskey and vinegar. Seeing them, my friend, next to you as you spoke was hardly an act of imagination - I could barely avoid it... and why would i try? The parasocial experience was amplified and made so personal, so affecting, it brought me to tears... you brought me to tears, and not for the first time. You are a comfort and a joy Lily. n

Thank you Lily, you always inspire me. Thanks also to Vic: watching them at the wheel was so soothing. Placing yourself in the artistic process for this video, especially being the canvas in the last segment, is genius!

I think the best art is art that makes other people want to make more art. This made me want to write some more, so thank you (and all the artists) for making it!

Thank you, Lily. You're a treasure.
