5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasure and Pain In Perfect Balance, August 5, 2005
This review is from: Totems and Taboos (Paperback)
I was really taken aback by this book's originality and intensity. This is a poetry/art book that combines social, sexual and horror themes with some amazing artwork. One of the more interesting pieces, "God's Desktop", is a tryptic (three-piece) of God's daily computer tasks, including IMs with Satan, Jesus (and a request from the new Pope). It is a riot of humor yet with a biting realisim that punches home the message. Some of the works are centered on Animal Rights, human injustice, Native American themes, and some are just beautifully romantic and personal. The illustrations run the gamet from Italian Renassaince to hand-drawn horror to psycho-sexual collage. The balance between politics, pain and beauty are perfectly executed verbally and visually. If you like sweet and sour, dark and light, heavy melodies and pain with pleasure, you will love this book.
