The Louvre - it pretty much all looks like this.

The Louvre is an exhausting experience. It’s not a normal museum; it’s not curated, not a thought-out collection arranged around an artist or a period or a thought or a style. It’s a history of hoarding. We took this, here it is. We took this, here it is. And so it’s exhausting to visit but also interesting from the perspective of not having a perspective. When you stack paintings and sculptures and carvings and reliefs on top of each other like at the Louvre it becomes no different than a stack of packing crates, Gap khakis, a grocery store shelved with every brand of paper towels. The individual pieces become meaningless, no more important than the gilded frames they hang in. And if only the Louvre weren’t always so packed to the gills with tourists, there would be a sort of Zen calmness to these marbled hallways overpacked with indiscriminately acquired art, a nothing to the everything.

Started making rough sketches for the book’s illustrations. This girl is going to be overwhelmed with too much kitchen clutter. What do you guys think (remember, this is very, very rough)?

I don’t draw, I derp.
