Rage is poetic violence The imminence of beauty rots in the chest of a daughter Make death proud to take us

The Alleyway

A pink stippled engraving of a draped woman with butterfly-like wings, the words “Lower Than The Angels” running down her body, framed by pink and black art-nouveau scrollwork and halftone close-ups of an eye and lips.
A title card reading “Gangsta of the Mass Awakening” in dithered yellow letters on deep blue, tangled in pink and green tribal filigree.
Spotted orchids set into a pink baroque hand mirror and an art-nouveau line panel, over a marbled green-to-magenta ground.
A poster reading “Women Devour / Women Devour Devour Women” in halftone bubble letters, around a black filigree crest over a magenta wash with a mirrored face and embossed crosses.
A dithered collage of red coral-like filigree climbing over pink and orange body forms around a faceted crystal, in a coarse halftone.
A veiled face behind magenta filigree ornaments and a band of blue baroque shapes, with pink and red glitch lettering running down both sides and a white “(C) 2004”.
Two nude figures, one lilac and one blue with green hair, lie head to foot across a red and patterned blue rug, a crystalline wing at the corner.
A blonde figure in a white coat raises a hand over her face while a tiny red figure hangs from it, thorned wire wrapped around the sleeve, on a ground of green and red brushwork.
Two figures kiss, seen through a gilded ornamental mirror frame, while small blue fairy figures cling to its edges.
A nude figure lies upside down on a blue checkerboard floor, hands pressed over the face, a red rosary looped across the arms, while robed figures watch from the back.
A pale figure with pan pipes beneath a scribbled dark-blue halo, over an ochre ground layered with red and blue line sketches of other figures.
A long-haired nude figure with closed eyes cradles a snarling wolf's head before a split pomegranate, on a lilac patterned wall framed by poppies and orchids, with an inset of a skull covered in moths.
A mermaid with curly blonde hair and teal braids holds up a string of pearls, half caught in a rope net, flanked by two lilac cherub statues, with shells and a starfish in a purple border.
Two figures press together in a kiss, one a blazing golden flame of hair and light, the other with flowing teal and violet tentacle-like hair, before a pink rising-sun burst of rays.
