PROJECT M : The big guns

Uncategorized
Apollonia Saintclair 1132 – 20230913 Le Diable et la Mère du Diable (The big guns) – sketch

“Coming from the four corners of the country, a pack of overheated cannons surrounded the besieged city and shelled it without pause. When night came, the most powerful of them, two formidable guns named “the Devil” and “the Devil’s Mother”, spewed long jets of incandescent slime into the darkness, accompanied by an obscene roar that made moan the inhabitants holed up in their beds, because each new discharge, each new impact announced that soon resistance would give way under the onslaught of these insatiable monsters and that the innocent city would be brutally taken and delivered body and soul to the ravages of the episcopal thugs.”

Inspired by true events from the early Renaissance, Project M is a graphic story in the making that exposes how a society’s prejudices and anxieties can, under extraordinary stresses and circumstances, breed true monsters.

“Brides for one night or for a lifetime, they are as ferocious and faithful as the frightening mastiffs who guard their children, born in the straw and mud of bivouacs, and their fertile bellies, like a Europe in tumult, are relentlessly surveyed by armies of gleaming men, proud and vain like fighting cocks, who leave their seed there before going to confront each other and be mutilated in the service of princes.”

Inspired by true events from the early Renaissance, Project M is a graphic story in the making that exposes how a society’s prejudices and anxieties can, under extraordinary stresses and circumstances, breed true monsters.

“I see a new world, divided into two enemy camps, two armies of fanatics goaded by new prophets, thirsty by lust and corrupted by power.

Uncategorized

History is littered with truly appalling events that, in hindsight, are difficult to fathom – until you scrutinize the human soul and the societal mechanisms underlaying historical events. All too often you will discover that purity and morality are not synonymous with honesty and kindness, but rather the strings that attach all of us to the hands of demagogues.
