At this resolution the piece does read a bit differently, nicely I must say. I hope you intend to work a lot bigger, and reduce the files for wherever you need them.
With careful examination, I'm also noticing a lot of sneaky, subtle things in the colors.
desaturating & other stuffzumaFebruary 1 2011, 15:02:25 UTC
i'm learning ever more that i prefer desaturated colors. i remember discussing my greens with you several years back when i didn't have a useable one in my palette & began to tumble onto the saturation/desaturation of colors. i have a long way yet to go til i'm even roughly satisfied with my colors but i'm learning all the time, plateau to plateau. for example, the comparison of saturation between the colors of a localized shadow & it's immediate surroundings: my shadows need be less satted than the surrounding lighter color, etc. i'm carrying this into my HTML color picks too, with rewarding results; whereas the background color distracts less from a presented image file, & so on. gradients of saturation come to mind too as used here

strange he would ask about it here. whoever he is.
anyway, hi, hope you're coming along in settling in. i received my new comp table today & am dreading building it and setting up. the dismantling of my old clutter is what i'm dreading. but yeah, i'm that much closer to revising life, the universe & everything here in general. drag!
i always dug the beat poets, and all those even tangentally related, like Diane DiPrima and Leroi Jones or Gary Snyder or Gregory Corso, etc.
decades ago, i had an anthology of beat stuff, probably edited by Ann Charters, that had gobs of Leroi Jones stuff in it that i dug. he's gone by Amiri Baraka since 1967. i scoped out his site today. great stuff. one could consider this mp3 of his to have been a better link to the post's image:
i am seeing a link to a site employing th' term "scientific dictatorship." it is not wholly unknown to me, but - as per usual - i am running far, far behind on the Information Front: only a hundred pages *in* to The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship. it is, perhaps, that it is so information rich that i had to put it down for a while .. play "catch.up," so to speak.
many approaches to craphounding the Victorian Myth of Progress. one of them which caught my fancy early on was the bewildering Greatest Story Never Told, a self-published "biohistory" of yumanity by a lady name of Lana C. Cantrell (who comes across like some love-child of Velikovsky and Adelle Davis). interesting, i suppose, for those who take the Zechariah Sitchin stuff as their point of departure ..

yeah, yeah, i can only do so.much with von Daniken/Sitchin. Charles Fort's personal wiseacrings - from, what?, a century ago - had considerably more style. entertaining the concept of "visitors," he wrote:
How would an Eskimo explain a vessel, sending ashore for coal, which is plentiful upon some Arctic beaches, though of unknown use to the natives, then sailing away, with no interest in the natives?
one could also think of the Pharaohs of old - or David Rockefeller *today* - as mere "middle management" (whether they are aware of this .. arrangement or not, i couldn't pretend to guess). .. but i like that concept of Epistemological Dominance / links up nicely with Burroughs' material on the Mayan priesthood's jealously guarded calendar gimmick.

why was Bruno executed by the Holy Roman Church some 400 years ago? was it his perceived "blasphemies" against Christianity or that he dared to question Aristotle (who'd been thoroughly appropriated by the Church by way of Aquinas and others)?
