A team of restoration technicians worked on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. LIFE magazine covered it.

I was shocked that the LIFE cover was published about 45 degrees off the original orientation (Michelangelo painted wall paintings on the ceiling which have a distinct up and down, right and left orientation). They cleaned the soot from the paintings - that was shocking - as if the candle prayers of the faithful were not a part of the art giving it a holy patina. Worse even yet, so shocking it was almost unbearable for me; they filled in the cracks and fissures and disconnection between the hand of god and the hand of the first man.

"LIFE" 15 x 11 in (30 x 38 cm) lithograph (edition of 20) on BFK Rives 250 grm paper.

Pigments are judged in permanence relative to each other, not in terms of years. What is a laboratory year? Are there windows or only controlled lights? Sunny days, shady days, days when the blinds are accidentally left open. Days when morning light reflects off windows across the street. What does “when kept indoors” mean?

Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman did a visual novel called "Signal to Noise". The super hero is an old film director dying of cancer. The artist and the author explored apocalypse, does an entire universe come to an end when one, relatively insignificant man, dies?

"Signal to Noise is a small, but weighty story about death, art and the end of the world. One man’s refusal to give up his art while he is dying is paralleled with the exploration of the 999 Anno Domini, prophecies of the apocalypse."

Delete Comment So, I says to myself, I says, "Hey yo self, maybe yous gots some 'a dem pent-up things dat turkey was showin' in dat cartoon".

So I goes deep into my mind and seeks out dat "get-outa-here" disposition so common to my "hood" when we was punks.

Den I takes out the pent and I'm left wit nothin' but the "re" wit no desire to get mo dat pent, so I ain't gonna repent.

Thank you, Barry for the oddworld. I wished I had a dollar to give him. He is depicting so well how it is and how one feels, the kind of loneliness of the outcast who let himself go down because society lets him down. I live in a different country, but it is the same. Ami. Cath
