    When I am especially depressed and frustrated, like say, tofuckingday, I like to watch printmaking videos online and feed on the weird ambiguity between hating on someone for one of the zillion reasons you can hate someone that makes prints (Raaa! Finger in the ink!) and being truly interested in what I see. 

    Arguably, living in Italy on your parents’ perpetual allowance, hitting on Swiss babes while writing well worded letters to friends back home in wherever, stating that you’ll be damned if you’re ever seen working in a “real job” (the only acceptable exception: running one’s own candy shop in Rome) doesn’t make it very difficult to be the object of some hate - or the fact that probably almost everyone who’ll end up reading this blog will have been overexposed to a wide variety of M.C. Escher prints as puzzles, calendars, wall paintings, mousepads and whatnot.

    However, I ended up truly liking this 1h documentary about the life and work of Escher, with very nice insights into the kinda sad life he’s lived, too absorbed by his works to repair his private life (or taking refuge in work, which ironically looks the same from the outside)

    Anyway, tl;dr - enjoy the video
