  • Art Impact

    Ghzorg makes art, but people said Art of Ghzorg not good enough.
    Ghzorg sad. So Ghzorg went to great artist and asked: “How to make better art ?”
    Great artist said: “You must make a great impact. You really need to make them see the shark, if you see what I mean.”
    Ghzorg nodded. Ghzorg understood.
    Now Ghzorg make better art, with more shark and more impact.

    ***

    Ghzorg faire Art, mais les gens disent que Art de Ghzorg pas assez bon.
    Ghzorg triste, alors Ghzorg demanda à grand artiste : “Comment faire meilleur art ?”
    Grand artiste répondit : “Vous devez provoquer un impact sur votre public. Vous devez lui montrer le requin, si vous voyez ce que je veux dire.”
    Ghzorg hocha de la tête. Ghzorg compris.
    Maintenant Ghzorg fait meilleur art. Avec plus d’impact et plus de requins.

  • Masks of Nayarlathotep – Harold’s madness

    London, Hitchcock’s manor. 1925.February the 21th
    Soundtrack : Layers of Fear OST, main theme

    Awnya words were kind, but the news was too heavy for Harold’s sensible artistic mind.

    James is dead.
    He
    is no more. Departed. Gone. Not with us anymore.The reality of the
    situation hit him hard. He wanted to face it, to revolt against the
    entire world, to howl and scream, but his body wouldn’t respond. He
    struggled to keep some coherency in his mind, but his thoughts has gone
    numb. As he felt into slumber, he saw a trace of guilt in Awnya’s
    beautiful face and understand the strange taste in the infusion she made
    earlier… Awnya gazed for while at Harold’s
    face, slowly stroking his long hair. At least he would rest, and maybe
    the narcotic will dilute the pain. She knew how important James was to
    him, maybe she should lay down with him, and ease him into consciousness
    in the morning. Yes, it would be a good way to…

    Harold’s eyes opens suddenly.

    She
    gasped. Franticly, she searched for her words, surprised by this sudden
    awakening. As she mumbled a quick excuse, she realized something was
    off. The face of Harold was blank, as if its mind was too. He stood up
    brusquely, made a few steps and stood still, staring at the painting of
    Aleister on the mantle chimney. Awnya tried to talk to him but he didn’t
    respond to her. After a few attempts to attract his attention, he
    started walking again, and goes to the stairs. As she followed him, she
    noticed his usual sluggishness was gone. He climbed up to his room,
    stared at his luggages, and with swift and precise movements, started to
    unpack his painting tools.

    Awnya lay
    herself on his bed and watched him dressing the easel. She saw him paint
    before, slow gentle touch of color. This was different, the strokes
    were quick and violent, spaying drops of paint everywhere. The silence
    were oppressing, heavy, tense. She had to break it. Without knowing if
    Harold could hear her, she started to tell everything. What happened in
    New-york, the Bloody tongue cults, the escape to London, and the
    Damocles sword upon James. The possession, Silas’ shadow, the arrival to
    the manor and the ritual, The Dreamlands, the cats of Ulthar, The
    Nightgaunts, Nodens… Her sister’s taking away.

    One
    by one, everything she told to Harold was painted, Soon the canvas was
    filled by a giant juxtaposition of scenes and portraits, and then the
    walls and furnitures around too were sprayed too with drops of colors,
    suggestively arranged. Hours by hours, this giant mandala grew larger
    and larger, but she still couldn’t see what he draw in the center. What
    was the nexus, the central piece that liked all the others.

    Her raging curiosity was devouring her, but she had to finish her story first.
    It has to be told. To be painted.
