Our private discussion about being true to what you've felt and not exactly what you've experienced has been very beneficial for me in such respects.Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076033512154958207.post-37071658917320428672008-12-29T15:27:00.000+02:002008-12-29T15:27:00.000+02:00Thank you. But you should know something about me....Thank you. But you should know something about me. It's a secret: I really really love analysis. No amount is too much! It's because I do not hold any reflection upon anything to be truthful that I find such pleasure in overdoing it!<BR/><BR/>Generally, if it hasn't been made clear so far, don't believe everything I say as if I hold them to be truthful. I discuss, I theorize, I analyse, because it makes me feel good. Human beings love stories, love the safety that manufactured causality creates, they don't love truth.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea what's in the bag either. Probably just laundry, perhaps they were somewhere together, they're waiting for some bus, who knows. I didn't think about the bag at all until much later when a reader told me 'but what could be in the bag?!'.<BR/><BR/>It's good to see observant and courteous readers and humans like you back on the blog as well, Solar. Take care.Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076033512154958207.post-90125328430817745422008-12-29T04:57:00.000+02:002008-12-29T04:57:00.000+02:00Love it!It has lots of the poignant Helm-trademark...Love it!<BR/><BR/>It has lots of the poignant Helm-trademark "melancholy of existence" I admire so much.<BR/><BR/>I think you should never care if your depiction fits the accurate definition. The ecstatic truth is more important than facts, and to mine it you can blow up this or another fact without regret!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076033512154958207.post-4845999947459628822008-12-29T00:43:00.000+02:002008-12-29T00:43:00.000+02:00Hey Helm,Welcome back from Poland.

The pallet works well for me, the dusky sunset fits with the idea of fading/intangeble memories. I don't think you would have captured that end-of-day ebb without those colours.<BR/><BR/>I also don't think you're too far away from the representation of prosopagnosia, as far as I was aware it affects individuals differently and some can adjust to the problem to varying degrees. That said I've not had any personal experience of people with the problem.<BR/><BR/>On a formalist level I think you're over analysing your work here, the story simply flows better with the visual breaks, more natural and paced. It would work without it but you would loose some of the setting.<BR/><BR/>Now what could be in the bag. I've no idea! Perhaps it's full of photo albums, physical reminders of what will forever escape him. He carries them around knowing the memories are not lost, but refrains from opening them in the hope that some will return unbidden. Of course it could just be a picnic...<BR/><BR/>Good to see your comics back Helm<BR/><BR/>Till next timeSolarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572173459598439129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076033512154958207.post-84828943880597140992008-12-26T21:55:00.000+02:002008-12-26T21:55:00.000+02:00combining love with matters of memory can easily b...combining love with matters of memory can easily be moving, but then it s up to the artist's sense of ...life (i guess)to remain human and not cheesy. and you never slip to that.pan panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03062589862656818117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076033512154958207.post-56391985561189311692008-12-26T19:35:00.000+02:002008-12-26T19:35:00.000+02:00Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate that yo...Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate that you like the colors!Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076033512154958207.post-30224313395859062512008-12-26T19:25:00.000+02:002008-12-26T19:25:00.000+02:00einai yperoxo kai idiaitera ta xrwmata !!einai yperoxo kai idiaitera ta xrwmata !!valiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616391035825353179noreply@blogger.com
