Desktop Graveyard
Continuing to make new exquisite corpses. But I also had an idea that the same process could be applied to making images at an aspect ratio suitable for "standard" computer desktops (fractions of 1024x768 pixels). So we built a plumb crazy desktop called "Dresden Loved/for the genie/our eruptions/RIPped"
Come bear witness to the tomb of our creation...or is that womb? I'm always getting those confused--and this image is no exception! You can download and see for yourself at your monitor's best resolution:
1280x960, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480
There were four collaborators on this piece: Miroje, Shae, me, and Julen, respectively. We each took a fourth of it (vertically--if you look closely you might be able to figure out where the transitions are and thus who did what).
I did the crazy part with the little idols and very disturbing sculpture image on the left side. This is perhaps one of the most terrifying yet fascinating sculptures I've ever seen or even imagined; and it depicts Britney Spears giving birth on a bear rug. The sculptor claims it is a monument to pro-life. I'm as pro-life as the next guy (if "the next guy" in this case is... let's say John Irving) but this thing is so astonishing it's hard to believe. Even in an era so degraded and bizarre as ours, this thing absolutely takes the cake. Naturally my retinas are scarred forever. Naturally I had to include images of it in my own art. And naturally in my work I depicted the hapless bear violently expelling vapors and other ejecta.
