Grayson Perry... graphic novel...

a few scans from a favourite graphic books...

Before winning the Turner Prize, Grayson Perry found time to write and illustrate this disturbing tale reminiscent of Hitchcock's Psycho . Set in a utopian future without cars, international cycling hero Bradley Gaines is hideously transformed into a misogynistic serial killer when latent anger at his cruel and domineering dead mother is suddenly unleashed.

Edith Stein... poem...

And I Remain With You

Who are you, sweet light, that fills me
And illumines the darkness of my heart?
You lead me like a mother's hand,
And should you let go of me,

I would not know how to take another step.
You are the space
That embraces my being and buries it in yourself.
Away from you it sinks into the abyss
Of nothingness, from which you raised it to the light.
You, nearer to me than I to myself
And more interior than my most interior
And still impalpable and intangible
And beyond any name...

Austin Osman Spare...Portrait of Sigmund Freud

“Words, words, words, however used – whatever they symbolise, request, or tell – say

more! – showing in between, the antics of all motives! Yes, word rendering offers the quickest of deaths to flabby ideas, and also the most poignant, suggestive, contagious substitutive, and lasting means known to convey anything. Most deadly virus! most potent abcreation, and magic subtley... even your erasure has you believing... We are overstuffed with words – now a veritable systole and diastole of mind: whether or not we correctly articulate, we suffer post-prandial torpor.”

Austin Osman Spare, ‘Micrologus’, (Number 7) c.1952

AOS 1955

"Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing, and even today words retain much of their magical power. By words one of us can give another the greatest happiness or bring about utter despair; by words the teacher imparts his knowledge to the student; by words the orator sweeps his audience with him and determines its judgments and decisions. Words call forth emotions and are universally the means by which we influence our fellow-creatures."

Sigmund Freud

Satty... Terrestrial Esoteric

Terrestrial Esoteric

Soft, features come together

particles of air splint just the other side of light

rhomboid wave lengths stopped at square

your rhythm, my bones

emotional stumblebum gestures brave

unwaivering, you beguile

you, sweet passion fruit calamity

mercurial, unwise, but your love burns no less than mine

obscure before the looking glass

shoals, etherial, fine

you are, voyager, mine

you are the first thought that comes to me

as I arc above our world

your tender, blue-flecked abstraction

drifting through curved space

through a subdivision of stars

etheral, fine

you, voyager, mine.
