I'm going to have Tom McGovern27's song Shut The Fuck Up And Put On Your Mask in my head for the next several decades.

I LOVE that song.

I also love the Quarantine Art Meme or however we refer to the trend of recreating artworks at home.

I hope you enjoy having it stick with you, as I am afraid it will stick with me.

Yes, that is an excellent meme. Do you have any particular favorite pieces, or is the phenomenon as a whole just the thing for you?

There's one of the Girl With A Pearl Earring recreated by a lovely Black woman which brought tears to my eyes. But I just really love the concept in general. I wish I could think of a reasonably famous artwork I could try recreating.

Here's the latest post with lots of them, fresh from tumblr!
Sadly not the Pearl Earring one, which sounds gorgeous.

Oh, I deeply enjoyed that. Narcissus's selfie is particularly good.
