Frames 01 : Crow
>> God teaches the fledgling Crow, but quickly begins to lose hold onto him.
God tried to teach Crow how to talk.
“Love,” said God. “Say, Love.”
Crow gaped, and the white shark crashed into the sea
And went rolling downwards, discovering its own depth.
-- excerpt, Ted Hughes, "Crow's First Lesson"
>> The Frames series is made up of my attempts at certain cinematic looks, and could be considered captures of videos I would like to make.

Yeah, Dec's stare was more a "meh" kind of stare. In the Hughes poems, God is a frustrated, worrisome artist who's losing control over his creations. I imagine eyeGod as being sort of twitchy and exasperated under the veneer of power.
Thanks a bunch for seeing the humour in it, and the Fave. ^_^

What you said is music to my ears! =3
I tend to think the anthropomorphisation (phew!) of God serves as a good PR move much more than an actual attempt at describing of something totally removed from our pithy mortal experience. (The Islamic side of me tends to criticize the idea of Jesus as a literal progeny of the divine.) While creating God in our own image (ahahah, that's precious) does have its place in the context of motivation/hope, in the most actual of terms a being that is like God cannot be described completely by human axioms.
I share similar ideas of God with the Hughes poems: a powerful, inescapably alien, creator who is ultimately too big for its creation. The idea is depressing, but opens up opportunity or personal achievement.

(It reminds me of some David O'Reilly animations, even though there's not much in common. Still, maybe you'd find this of interest: WOFL2106.)
And thanks for the quote. I was wondering where the metaphor of teaching a crow to say love came from. I've found it in a certain fable and have been thinking about the origins. (Author of the fables was O.Milašius/Oscar Vladislas de Lubicz Milosz; if you're french, you migh find his translations/re-interpretations of folk tales somewhere (translation to english is hard to find) - interesting read, humorous and deep at the same time, lots of literary references.)

LOL, ooookay. =3
It's a glue-paint technique I've been using for a while. You can see some other examples of it here:
