Alright, I’m breaking my own rule here. For the first time ever on this blog, there is no “hell” or “damn” or “dammit”, or whatever. in the title But I just can’t think of a way to improve it by adding those words. It’s weird, because those words improve everything, or so I thought! Anyway,… Continue reading It’s Cubo-Weirdism for 100, Alex.

The Animal Paintings and Where the Hell They’re Going
If you follow me on social media you’ll have noticed that I’ve been doing Cubo-Weirdist (yep, that’s what I’m calling it now–see last week’s post and of course, the new title of this here blog here) studies of animals. I’ve mentioned before that these are studies for larger paintings that I may or may not… Continue reading The Animal Paintings and Where the Hell They’re Going
If This is the Cubo-Weirdism Blog, What the Hell is Cubo-Weirdism?
So when the new blog page here at simoniteblog.standickie.com was launched last week there was a default name for the blog, which if I recall correctly was: Just Another WordPress Blog. Now of course, that would not do! So, off the top of my head, I changed it to Chris Simonite’s Cubo-Weirdism Blog. And few… Continue reading If This is the Cubo-Weirdism Blog, What the Hell is Cubo-Weirdism?
100 Bucks For an Original Oil Painting! Can I Get a Hellz Yeah?
So it’s been a little over a year since I started to sell my work on Instagram and Facebook and it’s gone fairly well. As is my MO, I haven’t kept great records of everything, so when I do my taxes I’ll find out exactly how well I’ve done. But as well as it’s gone,… Continue reading 100 Bucks For an Original Oil Painting! Can I Get a Hellz Yeah?
What the Hell? My Writing is Not Always Completely Clear?
A couple of weeks ago my attention was drawn to the first time I posted my painting of Fleabag, the character created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, on Instagram. Now I usually spend a a bit of time each morning composing something to accompany my daily Instagram post. I often even get my wife to have a… Continue reading What the Hell? My Writing is Not Always Completely Clear?
What the Hell does a Baroque Composer Have to Do with Brushstrokes, You (Didn’t) Ask?
So today I thought I’d post this commission of the Baroque composer Henry Purcell. Yeah, that’s right someone commissioned me to do a portrait of a British composer from the Baroque era. It’s a first and it was a fun one and I’d happily do more. Just Sayin’. Anyway this painting was commissioned partly to… Continue reading What the Hell does a Baroque Composer Have to Do with Brushstrokes, You (Didn’t) Ask?
Sure, I Do Commissions, Why the Hell Not?
2021 is turning out to be the year of the commission for me. Case in point this new painting of Walter and The Dude from one of my all time favourite movies, The Big Lebowski. This one is entitled: Goodnight Sweet Prince, because (spoiler alert), this is technically a portrait of three of the characters… Continue reading Sure, I Do Commissions, Why the Hell Not?
Game of Lannister or How the Hell did THAT Happen?
I thought about titling this post “Game of Shite”, or something like that, considering my completely written-down rule that there must be a curse word in all of my blog post titles, just to amuse myself. But I thought better of it because that might make it seem like I don’t like Game of Thrones… Continue reading Game of Lannister or How the Hell did THAT Happen?
Holy Shite, it’s the One Year Anniversary of this Blog!
I did it everybody! I wrote about myself once a week for a year! I feel like that should put me in the Narcissists Hall of Fame! Congratulations me! Woo hoo! How many more exclamation marks can I use? Okay, I’ll stop now. But I did think I should mark the occasion, especially since I… Continue reading Holy Shite, it’s the One Year Anniversary of this Blog!
What the Hell is a Landscape of the Mind?
Last week I talked about the possibility of doing paintings of animals for Damaged Landscapes, which will be an exhibition of new works by the Frost Shield Kerfuffle collective of which I am a member. At the end of the post I mentioned that I had another idea that springs from a couple of sources.… Continue reading What the Hell is a Landscape of the Mind?
