This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
This is Why I'm Hot
December 4, 2015
See how big the souper dumpling is! So I've seen photos of ones that are as big as the ramekins used to steam dim sum, but I wanted to go for something much bigger! I've had smaller soup dumplings, but I really want try one of those bigger ones. Probably not as big as Julie has created. I think that would end me. But I could totally destroy one of those dim sum bowl sized ones!

ALLY
I don’t usually say this, but size does matter.

Kane and Ally stab the super dumpling with their straws and burning hot steam jets out.

It may be a little hot in there.
