Dante also decided to write his masterpiece in the style of Dream Vision, which was an early medieval style of poetry that featured a protagonist going on tours of bizarre landscapes populated with demigods and monsters. A lot of them were written using a technique that involved a monk adopting a very unusual sleep schedule and lots of prayer, with the ultimate result that the writer would end up writing at night in a sort of half-conscious lucid-dreaming trance state. A similar technique was employed by Salvador Dali, which he called the Paranoiac-Critical Method. He would prop his head up on a table with a spoon holding up his chin, and as he drifted off to sleep he would experience hypnagogic imagery. Most of us have this when we drift off to sleep, but you usually forget it unless you are woken up right at that moment. As he fell asleep, he would lose balance and smack his head on the table, and the subconscious imagery was still fresh in his mind. That's how he painted, for instance: "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening" NSFW artistic depiction of a naked lady:  Aphex Twin bought an old bank vault and filled it with synthesizers, and would compose music in there while lucid dreaming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOevezlSwi8

STOP IT it's not nice I had no idea the early medievals were doing this, that's hella cool! Once again it hits me like a swung salmon how aprops a tour of a bizarre landscape filled with gods and monsters is to current politics is I also have to ask if recent impeachy events have inspired anything. Giant trench filled with Snakes and Alligators?

Fun Fact: When Aeneas goes to the underworld of the dead to learn the destiny of the Trojans in Italy, he runs into Dido in a subterranean forest. She killed herself after he left Carthage, so she famously snubs him. Dante puts a spin on this by making the circle of hell for suicides a forest populated by trees which possess the tormented souls of the damned, and he makes Dido one of the trees.

Lol suicides are shunned because they escaped the hell that Capital has created for them and Capital's pissed about the loss of exploitable labor.

Thanks! I used a Pentel pocket brush pen for the lines, then washed with a traditional Chinese brush using ink and Crayola watercolors.

Now usually I learn about events ITT, but I must record here that this tweet everybody is pointing and laughing at, and it even surprised us hardened cynics in the cold war thread: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1181232249821388801 It's the "great and unmatched wisdom" line

Scream is by Edvard Munch, but the style is very Van Gogh-like so I understand the confusion I was planning on using the Trump print as the cover

Yes, I publish it somehow, but there is still a ways to go. I’m not sure if it’s possible to get it printed with a bookmark, I will look into it once I am finished with it

I would pay prob $200 for it and I bet several others would too.
