This is an experiment with a $15 go phone I've had for about 3 months, and just discovered it has a camera, and video. Who'd a'thunk it?
That's my finger flitting back and forth in front of the lens. Psychedelic huh?
It also has audio, so I'm liable to be singing at you before it's over. No. No. I won't do that. (Be relieved, very relieved.)
But I am intrigued by the potential. It's a medium I haven't really considered before.
Mua-ha-haaaaaaaa...etc.
~This is on Netflix now. I watched it last night, very much enjoyed, and recommend that it's well worth poring through a few subtitles - about two thirds of it is in German - but one of my favorite parts is in English, that being the analysis/commentary by Stanislov Grof, who sees Giger's work as expressive of the perinatal journey, which makes a lot more sense to me - makes his work relatable to all - than any of the other (more speculative and personal, imo) interpretations offered by others in the flic.
You get to see his home, how he lived and worked. There are great scenes showing him at work, a real treat, daunting and inspiring at once. He was a Master.
The filmmaker, Belinda Sallin, clearly loved Giger and his work and imparts a mood and feeling that fits the subject well.
Enlarge these. It's worth it. This one's from his "Biomechanical Landscape" series.
OK, a little hambone here. A sketch I did shortly after seeing "Alien" back in '79.
I don't know the name of this one, but it's probably something Ridley Scott saw that moved him to approach our man about working on the movie.
Another in the "Alien Monster" series.
Cover fold-out from Danzig's 1992 album "How the Gods Kill." A slightly modified version of "Master and Margarita," shown in it's original form below.
Notice the difference?
"The Spell" He has a whole room in his house dedicated to this one.
Giger's biomechanical take on Arnold Bocklin's "Island of the Dead."
This^was the last one taken, the one I was looking for.The rest, the "trip to get there," should enlarge to the light box by click, but things go wonky when I drag and drop in here, so I'm not sure...
Aliens living in the walls, having turned the microwave into a transporter, are stealing my iron skillets.
Things go wonky when I drag and drop in here, so these are kinda haphazardly "arranged," But I kinda like it.
Kinda like ignorance interfaced with algorithmic quirk.

"18. They have difficulty finishing projects.
The initial stage of the creative process is fast moving and charged
with excitement. Often, they will abandon projects that are too familiar
in order to experience the initial flow that comes at the beginning." -- From the article, which is linked in the post title, or you can go HERE.
Most of it seems to fit me like a glove, with maybe an exception or two. I'm still not sure what ADHD has to do with it though, unless it's just that there are striking similarities.
Pretty interesting article, though. And fun, if you find yourself in there.
After 5 consecutive days of complete gray, dismal, depressing, pale, high thin cloud cover - of a sort I never saw for 15 yrs. in Texas, but that I remembered shortly after my return to NE Arkansas as a major contributor to my mopey sad-sack depressed feeling/attitude/condition, in these parts. I won't show you pictures of that depressing kind of sky, because in their presence I'm generally too discouraged to go out and make any.
Fortunately...
...when they break, the most uplifting, moist, rich forever blue is revealed. I looked forward to this when I headed back for Paragould.
