  • @youcef lol

  • @painxtreme I actually have been there, and no film can do it justice. First, if laid flat, it is the size of a football pitch, it is 65 ft from the floor, which makes one wonder how he could sort out the curvature and foreshortening so close to a colossal piece to be seen from far below, so perfectly.

    That's just some logistics, as an Artist myself, I cannot imagine, even were I to paint everyday for the rest of my life, let alone 4 years, I could never fill a football pitch with paintings.

  • @painxtreme best comment ever

  • the decoration of the monastery of Asis (Umbria, Italy) is way better than the Sistine Chapel, i've seen both.

  • Jersey shore brought me here

  • I can imagine what it smells like

  • Shit I would have gone insane if I had to paint that. 

  • This documentary is soooo good. It's disjointed, but very educational.

  • nudity is not a sin
