The angel speaks

In the spirit of giving you something a little more concrete from the project of the moment...

How amusing that in this modern age, humanity is under the impression that freedom, and indeed free will, are desirable virtues. Children are taught the value of individuality and independence, and are encouraged to forge their own paths based on informed choices. Democracy and the principle of free speech are championed across the earth – under the ever-watchful and guiding hands of those with its ‘best interests’ at heart, naturally. For many, of course, these ‘enlightenments’ are not part of everyday life, but they are still under the impression that they would be better off if they were.
It should be obvious to any creature calling itself intelligent that true freedom is only created in the fallout of complete and utter dominion – it is merely the vacuum left by pure and unchallenged authority. Is that really so desirable? If not, how can anything inferior be even vaguely considered so? To have felt an immovable hand for so long, only to have it callously let go - over the darkest precipice no less – many a prisoner of such order will tell you that adjusting to life after order’s demise is harder than living under it.
Humanity would do well to consider its position a little more carefully I think.

Hell's Own

______

And so the project has a name.

Apologies for the lack of recent updates (to those of you who actually read this). All of my writerly focus since January has been directed towards long-haul projects and assignments for university, and as a result I've had nothing to share that was anywhere near finished. This is still the case really, but I thought I'd share a little something I concocted last night.

A select few know that I'm currently working on my 'magnum opus' as it were - a proposed comic-book serial. I've made a few half-hearted attempts recently to recruit an artist, but Middlesex being what it is, it seems like the illustration tutors have more important things to attend to...that or they never check their bleeding e-mails!

To that end I have drawn up a poster which I intend to post around campus, as well as at a few other institutions, to attract the attention of some poor, unwitting soul and force them into drawing pretty angels and fiery things for me.

So without any further ado or kerfuffle, here it is:

Not bad, huh? I'm hoping it'll at least attract some attention, and with the addition of posting this blog's URL on or near to it, maybe some more minions for my ultimate dominion, mwahahahaaa!

Until next time...
