Darkness, disturbing, delightful

While perusing some of the gited and not so gifted content of DeviantArt I happened upon the following link: http://www.fredrikodman.com/

I've always found this sort of imagery powerful, mysterious and downright disturbing. Ogrish fan? Not quite. This is art!

It reminds me of a few things:

• Most Tool Music videos, including Schism, Sober.
• The Cube (If you haven't seen this movie, please do)
• The Cell, for a Jennifer Lopez film, this was pretty good.
• Your-typical-Millennium-episode.

Apparently Fredrik takes live snaps of his models (pictures people) and then post processes them (pictures not people).

Dear Forgotten Diary,

I write to you, in a tone I'd rather not use. See, it's been a while, and I've been missing you, but at the same time, I hate you. I hate what you've made me. I love you, I'll kill you.

I'm stuck, halfway between the crack and zen. Sharp tendrils, cut into my skin and attached to the bone, anchor me down.

I bumped into one of your friends the other day. What a confused soul it is. It is the type that thinks you can get something without working for it. It is the type that preaches one thing, but plays another. I saw right thru it.

Been feeling quite dispondent since I've returned to SA. I had so many expectations, expectations that were maybe too high. I'm stuck in the same trap, when will I learn my lessions? *sigh* I've set myself goals that I knew were unreachable, and now disappointed with my results.

In other news, work is going well. I was offered a promotion. The work content has been bad, but because its so clinical and distant. I want to spill the guts with my own hands.

Looking forward to my holiday in Cape Town. Looking forward to escaping all these drugs. Looking forward to looking forward.

Anyway, thats it for now. Please stop those feelings you create within me.

Shaun
