Flimmernder Sarg Flimmernder Sarg
Sag mir, warum ist dein Fernseher länglich und hexagonal nicht?
   Schließlich beerdigst du längst träge dein Denken darin.
An gewisse Philister An gewisse Philister
Ihr wollt Poeten sein? Philistertum, Stückwerk, Gestümper!
    Triebe das Letztere euch, gäbe es missmutig auf.
Hypnos Hypnos
Nyxens Sohn, er weilet, selten im eigenen Bette.
   Gott des Schlafs, mag sein. Jener des Beischlafs vielmehr.
Schamlose Musen Schamlose Musen
Schneeweiß leuchtende Brüste, entblößt von den Schönsten der Musen.
   Zu schön! Gleißendes Weiß blendet die Blitze des Geists.
Dem Ares gewidmet Dem Ares gewidmet
Was ist dem Kriegsgott missgönnt, das olympischen Göttern gebühret?
   Achtung, Verehrung, Tribut – solches kam Ares nie zu.
Ruhm sei des Streitenden Lohn, sofern er den Sieg sich erringe,
   Kühnheit verschaffe ihm Macht; Leben das zeitlos besteht.

Wie sich das Schicksal Dir fügt, so füge auch Du Dich dem Fatum.
   Trage die Fackel mit Stolz! Stolz nimm den Siegerkranz an!
Niemand erkühne sich je, das erstrittene Glück Dir zu nehmen:
   Reichtum ist Ruhm nach dem Tod, nicht was Dir Plutos geschenkt.
Ruthless candour Ruthless candour
Behold the nauseating breed
of liars begotten by liars.
A pike in the eye of truth;
a scorch in loyalty's face.

Within its lamentable greed,
through false friendship aspires
a reborn moral youth
out of a souldead human race.

Beneath its foul and wretched need,
amidst the thorniest of briars,
lies raped and dead – forsooth –
a once so veritable grace.

This is the final version.

I've been reading Orwell's classic Nineteen Eighty-Four again, because it's one of my absolute favourite novels. I especially like the interrogation scene in Room 101, when O'Brien manipulates Winston to think and believe that two plus two equals five, because whatever the party says is reality, hence it's the truth:
"Oceania has never been at war with Eurasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia."

Now the poster has got some stains and dirt on it and the paper is weathered and bleached. I've added the slogans of the party "War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength" and changed the shaking hands once more. Now I think it's perfect.

To learn what this is all about, see: link

It's a vector poster. I used these stock photos and scans as textures:
1. The texture I used to give the poster a slight vintage look: link
2. A paper texture: link
3. The shaking hands (because I was too lazy too create some myself): link

Great - but the black hand on the logo is meant to be a hand in a glove, to symbolise industrial workers!

A glove through which you can see fingernails? I don't think so.

Now you should read Animal Farm by the same author.
If you haven't done that already that is. :D

My friends have a saying.
"Is it a John movie/book?"
With that they wonder if it's a strange one or a more understandable piece hehe.

Love that novel too. Every utopian/dystopian book I can get my hands on.

Since he's one of my favourite authors, I have read all books by G. Orwell. Oddly enough, I like Down and out in Paris and London and Homage to Catalonia even more than I like Animal Farm. That's robably because they are based on experiences. If you like Nineteen Eighty-Four, I recommend you to read Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler. It's the book that inspired Orwell to write Nineteen Eighty-Four in the first place and in my opinion it's equally good.
