Hello Art Lovers,

As you may know, “M” is a graphic novel inspired by true events from the Renaissance that exposes how the prejudices and anxieties of a society can, under extraordinary circumstances and stresses, breed real monsters. Without wanting to spoil your future enjoyment of “M”, here is one of the main characters of the story doing one of his favourite activities, and the quatrain that goes with it:

„A bristling, lewd boar with mitre, ravages a white doe,
Plows the fertile gut, his demesne with alacrity.
Princeling with crosier, he wields his appendage like hoe.
Shallow, febrile rut cues obscene mediocrity.”

    Hello Again,

    I am loving your latest images. The one with the torso surrounded by water is absolutely amazing; one of the finest examples of surface texture I have seen in any genre of art.. I’m also greatly enjoying the accompanying verses .

    Here’s the segue.Speaking of verses, do you know this album by the great English Balladeers Tony Barrand and John Roberts? https://folkways.si.edu/john-roberts-and-tony-barrand/dark-ships-in-the-forest/ballads-of-the-supernatural

    If you are not familiar with it, I most seriously suggest you give it a thorough listening. It is quite excellent and filled with imagery I’m certain you will find lush and fascinating.

    COME VISIT!!! I really want to get to know you!!!
