Pastel Door (Bangkok, Thailand).
Japanese Woodblock Print (from my personal collection).
Hi. I'm back from a festive holiday frolic in Pennsylvania, New York City, and Washington D.C. (which was extremely impressive).
For all intents and purposes, my Promethean Antagonist site will be rather dormant from now on (I may occasionally make refinements to current essays and links and perhaps put up an essay or two that were previously unposted).
I will continue to make weekly posting to this site -- Promethean Visions -- and will continue to add to my observations (and other's quotations) at my Promethean Observer site.
I'm still quite interested in politics and still thoroughly favor the minimal state and maximum autonomy for the individual, but the arts are a more pleasant passion and one is less likely to be attacked, scorned, or misinterpreted for their aesthetic preferences.
Long live dynamic free society and the creative expression of individuals unbridled by the agenda of self-serving collectivist control freaks.

John Martin's mezzotint engraving, "Belshazzar's Feast." Although excessive, the work is a splendid example of 19th century Romantic print artistry.
The fragile echo. (Tissue closeup in harsh light).
