Alternative Comics The Centrifugal Eye!

HEY APATHY! Alternative Comics from the City of Gears

Caught in the vortex of routine, the city spirals inwards blending billboards with reality and mixing method with madness. The faces blur together as each individual's actions exert macrocosmic ramifications. Made up of all the diverse, unusual and unique experiences the monstrous metropolis collides as a unified entity contradictory to the apparent divisions. The shoppers affect the commuters, the business people are related to the homeless, the young to the old, and this metropolis to all metropolis‘. No event, no matter how deceptively insignificant, is unto itself in the City of Gears.

 In the center of the order of chaos lies the centrifugal eyeball of consciousness. Surrounded by an obscured truth, the giant eyeball represents our collective hopes, dreams, goals, and unconscious. A this deep epoch of the gyre the solitary and the uniform become equally important and exemplified.

 But beware the technological tentacles have attempted and succeeded in many instances to attach themselves to the symbolic oracle. The technological tentacles have corrupted many of these giant eyes leading the spiral into oblivion instead of insight. 20 x 30 inch pen and ink drawing made on location at Queen Street West and Soho during my street art and performance exhibitions. The “eyeball of consciousness” has become a major symbolic character in the HEY APATHY! Mythology.
