New Painting!




Inspired by of Montreal's Authentic Pyrrhic Remission


Which caused my fascination with a different Pyrrhus, From Virgil's Aeneid:
There at the very edge of the front gates springs Pyrrhus, son of Achilles, prancing in arms, aflash in his shimmering brazen sheath like a snake buried the whole winter long under frozen turf, swollen to bursting, fed full on poisonous weeds and now it springs into light, sloughing its old skin to glisten sleek in its newfound youth, its back slithering, coiling, its proud chest rearing high to the sun, its triple tongue flickering through its fangs.

The Godlove Museum

"The Godlove Museum" is a series of video game art pieces based on sections of the Bible. I actual didn't know that when I was freaking out about this, so feel free to ignore that part. I was impressed by how they played on the psychology of a gamer. It had me thinking about the experience of playing video games and the mechanisms of the game. It also gives an interesting perspective on violence, addictive/compulsive behavior patterns, and advertising. I was struck by a lot of really weird deep emotions while playing. Overall, I liked "Numbers" and "Deuteronomy" most, but it should definitely be played start to finish. Good luck ( :
