The Monday Morning Memo

This painting from 1911 sort of pulls you in, doesn’t it?

It’s a wonderful example of a technique that Wizard Academy teaches called “Portal Stacking.”

You can do it in paintings, photographs and videos, even in music, literature, and storytelling.

When I saw this painting, I knew it was going to sell for a lot more money than the auction house had estimated. In the end, 56 different people were determined to have it. But with a short-term loan from the wizard, I was able to buy it for the new meeting house of the Tiny Tribe!

Aroo!

Random Quote:

“I think it was the very first painting where it’s title is the background. Think about that. There’s a town there, there’s a Cypress tree, there’s a church steeple. It could have been called The Cypress Tree. It could have been called Sleepy Village. It could have been called Rolling Hills. But no, it’s called Starry Night and everything in front of it is just in the way. How often do you paint something where the title is the background?”

- Neil deGrasse Tyson in an interview with Joe Rogan, speaking of Van Gogh's most famous painting
