been a while
no
in fact
its been quite a long while

so today i'm gonna talk about something
a bit strange

lets talk about grotesque
I stumbled upon a mangaka
if you could call him that
by the name of kago shintaro
to say his manga is sick is to say the least

freak my mind out

all the grotesque human body
body parts
...

but because of seeing these manga
after seeing them
it kind of open up your mind
it makes you able to imagine of stuff you couldn't before

mostly because of seeing grotesque
we think that certain things are grotesque
cause they are not natural
things that you would never imagine before

however
once you saw them
you too are now able to imagine
in fact
you may be curious how far your mind may go

thus it open up your mind
free it
in a way that not only does it help you to be able to imagine
it frees you of the shackle of trying not to imagine them

however
grotesque for the sake of grotesque only is meaningless
things must be done for the sake of a purpose
to fall totally into abstractions is to fail

surrealism on the other hand
help bring grotesque into meaning
by combining it with everyday 'normal' stuff
it help to open up people's eyes
to see their everyday lives in a new perspective

and it keeps life interesting
