Holy crap. I need a Valium and Gin and Tonic. This is impressive.

I find it interesting that Osama showed up in more than one segment. My favorite part is the words at the bottom: "this is NOT the end". Seems fitting.

umm...wow! amazing synergy. i love the fact that there is a barely discernible 'do' bee in the last frame. it's almost 'unconceivable'!

The flowers sort of soothe me after the Osamas and the Evil Bert. Sums up my current state of mind after weeks of bad news.

But that contortionist in 2 freaks me right the fuck out.

Plus it looks like the firemen are trying to pop the creepy snowman with the flagpole. I'm all in favor of that.

This is weird. Some of the images are so alike. Collective unconscious was hard at work here. Seems kind of psychic.

Seriously disturbing. Not just the images, but the psychic stuff. Freaky. I think this is probably one of the best corpses I've seen so far.

Wow. My 15 pixels from Davezilla didn't point towards 9-11 at all. I merely reacted to the bottom half of the sentence I got (at first I thought it said "cheerful smiling iChow," the new pet robot from Apple, and knew that with Davezilla, it just might). When I deciphered what it really said, I just reacted. Ugly 9-11 stuff came out. I felt it might ruin an otherwise non-violent corpse (oxymoron), but like I said, it's what came out. Now I see I wasn't the only one venting in that way.

The psychic harmonics of these pieces seem to get stronger as we go along.

Very nice.

This is so awesome it is freaky. The colors are great. The strong left-right-left diagonal ties the design together. I'm starting to believe in all sorts of psychic stuff I'd ruled out years ago.

Even the TITLE of this one is severely schizophenic!

It's almost stream-of-consiousness. Very impressive.

Great transition from the purple graffiti(?) to the red behind the contortionist.

I find the heart right under the "Anthrax This" finger highly amusing.

I...really have no words. Wow.

Very brilliant. Very 11/2001. Very surreal. I see Jorun is in the EU. I wonder if different cultural experiences lead to different types of imagery? An amazing job.

Wow.

I wanted to continue from Photodude's "This is next" so I put some images and the heart and the words "This is now" in the middle of the slice, and "This is the end" at the bottom.

The day after I wanted to take a quick look at the thing before sending it to Assembly, and then I realized I had made a mistake. Of course, this is not the end.

I don't know how much my Swedish background and Luxemburgish present life have coloured this image, Charles, but here the 11 Sept. is beginning to disappear from everyday conversations. The unforgetable fades away...

you know, Jorun, the 9/11 event is disappearing from everyday conversations for me, too.

I feel good about that, tho - that the healing process, for me, has kicked in.

Fantasmagorical. And at long last, the dude!

This is by far my favorite corpse! I love how everyone did such a good job blending their own image with the image above. I really think more people should take the time to try and eliminate the seams that are so predominate in a lot of the corpses. It flows much better and stands out as a piece of art rather than 4 images pasted together.
