This is Chapter 8...where the some major pain is really unleashed on terra firma. I really wanted to go with a more contemporary approach because this section of Revelation has such chilling repercussions for us 21st century folk. In fact, the russian word for "Wormwood" is Chernobyl...a translation that freaked quite a few Ruskies out during the cold war. I've actually spelled out Wormwood and Chernobyl in the upper right hand corner...the letters came from a sheet of printed paper that went haywire (I cut up the letters to make the words but the garbled effects are pretty much as they were). The exploding planets are stills from my pixel-vision fischer price toy camera...I love lo-fi equiptment.

I've been thinking about this page all summer. All of the elements are scanned in and the only "photoshoped" elements are the yellow and the red color of the wings. The wings refer to the first line of the text and "four angels" who bring some major hardships on the earth. I'm a little unsure about the bar codes but I like the idea of bringing in some modern elements. What do you guys think, more color?

This is my design for Chapter VI. I thought I would push the Golden Ratio one last time. The smeary figures in the upper left are some more Durer prints from his famous 4 horsemen pages.
