I've been storyboarding an apocalyptic animated short, involving mean streets and a circus train, scripted by my friend Angelo. And toying with a synthesis of pre-raph realism and traditional surrealism. This isn't a frame from the film. It is an unexpected reframing of of an unconscious unconsidered almost surrendered viewpoint, a frame from a dream. A surreality at least offers some possibility of transcending the often mundane experience of virtual reality.

ReplyDeleteThe Eagle's look like they're planning their attack? I like the image and am wondering if it has something to do with those little visitors you have in your backyard. Hawthorn is well know for its almost unseen population of rattus rattus, which may have spread into your hood?
ReplyDeleteMore likely an unconscious expression of the Western press phone hacking revelations
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! that makes sense...but he's (the rat) is not gnawing on the wire...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure nothing is what it appears to be.
