I love all the hands, and the scary birds. This one makes me a little sad -- with the reaching out and the restrictions (private property, barbed wire). Is there something you five would like to talk about? Because, you know, we're here for you.
The solitary figure in the high-rise reminds me of Roger Brown's paintings.

This is kind of strange - my chunk was the first one I did for EC, months ago, before any corpses had been completed at all. So it has a very different feel to the way I'd probably start off a corpse if I was starting now, having seen all the ones which have been completed between this faltering (and hazy) start and now.

Are those your hands Meg? They're so expressive! They look like the hands of a working artist.
And Jorun, is the eagle the symbol of "our truest friend", Britannia?

I think the birds are griffins, they are scanned from an old map of the world. I wonder if this was my first corpse as well (or maybe it was the second, done just a day or two after the first. I like the flow between Meg's piece and mine, and I don't think the starting piece is faltering at all. These early pieces have a charming naïveness, before we had seen the wonders others could create - I will have major achievement anxiety when/if I get my next slice.

The blend between "no words" and "beyond this point" is almost flawless. Same with "private holy property" and "never say never." Unfortunately, the third part doesn't seem to fit, and throws the rest of the piece off. It seems the person behind "figured he'd sleep" had his/her own statement to make and didn't allow the piece to blend from the snippet given. Maybe this was an early work and y'all weren't giving one another enough of the previous piece to work from, but the lack of blending in the third portion of the piece throws the whole thing off for me.

What is fantastic about your piece, Matt, is that you picked up Jorun's bird of prey without any prompting whatsoever.
Again, the collective consciousness picked up on a mood/tone - amazing.
