To follow (somewhat) the theme of an antecedent article (That is, the one regarding a brief explanation of the painting whose approximate abbreviations are "G.F.S.: (being an account of)J.K.L.F.B.T.A."),
I will continue the series by making mention of a previous painting that had been completed when I was trying to find, coincidentally, a theme for what type of art on which I would like to focus.
Given this, I was also listening to various musicians; in fact, many of the selfsame performing artists who had created a clever, compelling mythology surrounding John Kane. I was also aware of a certain superstition wherein treasure could be found with a "Hand of Glory" all while putting to sleep any occupants who might be sentries entrusted with guarding said treasure. I decided to juxtapose this disembodied hand, intentionally "severed" along the picture plane, with a large blue face, perhaps the ghost released from the hand, who conducts the spell upon the hapless man sitting on the book, the treasure.
Hence, the pictorial rubric, as follows:
Book--> knowledge--> Gnosis.
Hypnos--> god of sleep.
Hypgnosis, a pun or parody of Sleeping Knowledge. That is to say, The/a sleep of Reason, which produces monsters, according to one Francisco Lucientes Goya.

Through all of your attempts you have finally managed to write over the heads of your readers! I have no Idea what you have been saying in any of these posts! Normal it up for gods sake! YOU'RE THE BEST! and obviously smarter than me
Esteemed Colleague Dadicus,
Verily, it is not so much an attempt to be as obtuse or foreign as possible, or to the "putting-on-of airs," as it were, of self-importance or pendantic rambling;
Rather, it, this blog in question, at its most earnest is intended as a receptacle, a catalogue or archive or miscellany, perhaps, of the thoughts that go into my head, by no means always intentional (but synchronized with others, usually), in most cases literary in origin (that is, not coincidental but in fact volitional) mostly dealing with a random fascination with the above profiled special realms;
These thoughts, therefore, are herein collected so as for them not to merely escape unspoken or unshared, but to appear first...
a.)In some ephemeral form, sometimes resulting in my paintings or in my artwork in general, but sometimes not*. However, it is this artwork that then sometimes (oftentimes)...
b.) Escapes explanation in the form that it should be, the form being as it is somewhat portrayed in this blog, which is closer (but not exactly) to the manner intended...which is, in its purest form, the thought process that remains firmly ensconced in (and indebted to) my imagination, but so often does not have a chance to enter a more concrete realm.
Sincerely,
~Dain
*This would be exemplified in my random musings regarding subjects that may subsequently result in a painting, or in fact be included in a painting not as a major subject but in fact a vignette.
Invoker of Ego,
and/or
Name-dropper of such unequal figures as Senator Clinton and Albrecht Einstein,
and/or
Loose-Slinger of Visual Metaphor,
Mayhaps be ye a Romantic in so rendering corporeal an abstract concept such as Ego in addition to the ever-creative run-on paragraph?
Or,
(The more likely of the two)
Mayhaps be ye an impostor, a poseur by the also-artificed name of Sikander, or Adrimagnon; or, perhaps still, some other minion under his libellous, infamous, Satsui-no-Hado influence?
Either way, to create such a psedonym with the sole intent of posting and not leaving behind some remnant of even an ersatz identity seems suspect and unbecoming of a member of the so-called "blogosphere."
Worse still, the lack of parenthetical thought and the compulsion of the author in question to evoke solliloquy rather than any sort of erudite (or even lucid) argument, indeed, to invoke Ego in a fashion quite literal, causes me to abandon my already fickle Reason in favor of lower faculties such as my even more capricious, base Emotion.
Please to inform me of said author's status, and what such status has to do with the painting above titled "Hypgnosis."
