Everything I draw ends up wearing a bow-tie

Anonymous asked: okay it's killing me that I don't know what painting you're laying tribute to in that TPatJ update, can you please enlgihten me :'D

aw shucks I feel bad, and yeah I guess it’s kind of an obscure one, I just have an odd fondness for it? I don’t know what exactly it was that made me remember it for this purpose but I remember finding it in one of those big old artbooks in school and there was something about the fact that it was normal and messy and conversational and looked like some regular scene in a pub and I was like ‘wait you can have old fancy paintings of ordinary shit like someone took a photo of a night on the town that’s awesome’

I was like thirteen, that was a revelation to me, shush
