You stole my favorite 4CP images, David! I love these.
That first image in the set could have lead in so many different directions.
I started by putting on my slash goggles and was considering that shot of the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner in a close, erect flight pattern.
But the eyes had it, and there were more than enough options to pick out a theme. Ditko’s Dormammu could’ve fit in here as well.
Grateful as always for the interesting light this series is casting on the 4CP images. To say thanks: http://4cp.posterous.com/the-gaze-4cp-friday-hilobrow
Perfect, John!
As Nietzsche noted when he slammed shut Fantastic Four Annual #3, “When I stare into the dots, the dots stare back into me!”
To some extent, the 4CP Friday series is plumbing Hilgart’s unconscious, turning up Jungian archetypes.
David, this is so cool!
