My book arrived a few moments ago. Very happy with it. Another nice addition to my 'Signed Phaidon' collection :-)

INSANE51 - DREAM, by kjg on Mar 4, 2022 15:22:02 GMT 1, Humans and Greek gods differ because the gods were thought to be immortal and to hold special powers. Nothing is sad about any body alterations. So yes, I do think that the Greek gods had bones. Regarding Nemesis: she was also called Adrasteia, meaning 'the inescapable'. So despite her having bones I guess you won't have a chance against her in a hand-to-hand battle. Maybe the first strike will be yours, but she will surely enact some divine retribution on you. That's helpful. Thank you for the information. Forewarned is forearmed. But with respect to my chances in combat, I am somewhat more optimistic than you. Many moons ago, a former acquaintance of mine named Cark used to repeatedly "forget" to buy his round. While not a big deal at first, over time this habit became irksome. It was less about money than principle, especially since our salaries were pretty much the same. One night, things got heated at the pub. I called Cark a tightwad. He misinterpreted this as a sexual insult, proceeded to freak out, and gave me a violent shove. Now, years before, this chap had lost one of his pinky fingers in a drunken game of Truth or Dare. But he still had huge fists and weighed about 20kgs more than me. A conventional fight was therefore unlikely to end in my favour. And so, right before a second shove could be initiated by Cark, I did a quick spin move that resulted in his back now facing me. I then hopped on piggyback-style with my legs around his waist, locked my ankles in front of him, and then quickly squeezed my thighs with all the force I could muster. This gave his internal organs (intestines, kidneys, pancreas and stomach) a shock compression. He immediately dropped to the floor in agony — yelling, in a surprisingly high-pitched voice, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"The effectiveness of this technique was most impressive. Cark even bought the next few rounds. Should I ever have to face Nemesis, I plan to carry out the exact same move. And when she's on the ground screaming for mercy (provided she has internal organs and can feel pain), I'll ask, "Do you give up now? Do you also promise, on the immortal life of your mother Nyx, to never enact divine retribution upon me?"My assumption here is that Nemesis will stay true to her word, even if originally given under duress. This expectation seems reasonable to me, or at least not unreasonable. Because if we cannot trust the Greek gods, what hope is there for any of us?
I indeed hope that she will stay true to her word. But, in the rather unlikely case that she turns into a goose to try and get out of your grip, please resist the urge to turn yourself into a swan.

INSANE51 - DREAM, by kjg on Mar 4, 2022 9:10:56 GMT 1, INSANE 51 - DREAM AVAILABLE ONLINE 5pm(GMT) SATURDAY 5th MARCH 9 Colour Sceen Print on 310gsm Hand Deckled Somerset Tub Satin Paper Exclusive 'Dream' 3D Glasses Paper Size: 27.55 x 27.55 Inches (70 x 70cm) Main Edition of 150 signed, numbered and with a Certificate of Authenticity - £275 Hand Finished Edition of 12 signed, numbered and with a Certificate of Authenticity - £875 PRE-SALE 50 Main Edition Prints & 3 Hand Finished Edition Print will be available directly from the Upfest Gallery, 198 North Street, Bristol from 10am - 5th March Although I'm not so much a fan of the 3D-glasses gimmickry, this is nice work by Insane51. If it's a loose depiction of Nyx, goddess of the night, then presumably she's holding the moon between her index finger and thumb. The Monstera plant is rather curious. While it seems out of keeping with a deity theme, perhaps it holds symbolic meaning for the artist. Still, the pairing of leaf structure with ribcage is both clever and effective. Random query, but do the bodies of Greek gods really have skeletons within? Let me know because, if so, those bones can surely also be broken (for example, in hand-to-hand combat). That would then make me far more confident and less nervous about angering the gods — including Nemesis, whom I've heard is a right shrew. Humans and Greek gods differ because the gods were thought to be immortal and to hold special powers. Nothing is sad about any body alterations. So yes, I do think that the Greek gods had bones.

I dread to think what the shipping costs of the actual piece will be though.🤷Anyone? What was the email that kjg mentioned or was he taking the mick? That old 'oh did you not get the email' joke that always does the rounds.😀 Anyone know if theres a complete list of prices of past edition releases on here or elsewhere? www.artcollectorz/artists/artist-detail?artist_id=1121

What Music are you listening to at the moment ?, by kjg on Feb 7, 2022 18:25:02 GMT 1, True but, for me at least, that still wasn't enough time. In the 1990s, I hadn't yet finished going through all of my awkward phases. Immediately prior to becoming obsessed with flatfooting and clogging around summer 2011, I was really into the Cybergoth scene. Lots of black, zippers, clips and buckles, the occasional gas mask, cyberlox, big stompy boots, fluffy leg warmers... The whole works. My friend Kenji and I would regularly travel to Cyber gatherings (or "Cybertreffen") at various locations in his home country, Germany. These were essentially mini raves, which could take place anywhere — in a club, outside a shopping mall, etc. I even remember one of them being under Oberkasseler Bridge in Düsseldorf. The randomness was part of the fun. It was also an opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and dance. But Kenji was constantly filming. He referred to it as documenting. I just called it annoying. Whatever happened to all of his video footage is anyone's guess. Still, a worry at the back of my mind is that it one day finds its way onto You Tube. [Feelings of embarrassment are uncomfortable for me and, with the benefit of hindsight, I've reached a conclusion that the Cybergoth look isn't as cool as I thought it was back then.]By way of side note, here is part of the soundtrack representing that period in my life: Lock 'N Load - Blow Ya Mind (Dj Zany Remix) (2005)- uploaded by Lock 'N Load - TopicOh, no...Damn that Kenji. My trust was betrayed. He said the video footage would be for his personal archives only. 6. Cybertreffen am 12.3.11- uploaded by GothicIke
I used to go to the Wave-Gotik Treffens in Leipzig. That were the days!
