O for Osiris



Freaks A-Z. Letter "O" 

Size: 210mm x 297mm 

Material:Charcoal pen 

Osiris (Ancient Greek: Ὄσιρις, also Usiri) is an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead. He is classically depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic crook and flail. 

Osiris is at times considered the oldest son of the Earth god Geb, and the sky goddess Nut, as well as being brother and husband of Isis, with Horus being considered his posthumously begotten son. He is also associated with the epithet Khenti-Amentiu, which means "Foremost of the Westerners" — a reference to his kingship in the land of the dead. As ruler of the dead, Osiris is also sometimes called "king of the living", since the Ancient Egyptians considered the blessed dead "the living ones". 

歐西里斯(也作 Usiris 烏西里斯)是埃及神話中的冥王,九柱神之一,是古埃及最重要的神祇之一。他是一位反覆重生的神,而他身上的綠色皮膚就有這種意思。他最後被埋在阿拜多斯(Abydos)城,是那裡的守護神。 

歐西里斯是大地之神蓋布與天神努特的兒子。在埃及,歐西里斯是掌管陰間的神,同時也是生育之神和農業之神。他與妻子艾西斯生了荷魯斯,另外奈芙蒂斯生了阿努比斯。與根據死者之書,他的長子叫做貝卜(Beb)。後來,他被同賽克和布塔聯合起來成為「布塔-賽克-歐西里斯」,也被等同為赫里沙夫(Heryshaf)。

Kony 2012





This article is about the Ugandan guerrilla group leader. Joseph Kony (born c. 1961), head of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). While initially enjoying strong public support, the LRA turned brutally on its own supporters, supposedly to "purify" the Acholi people and turn Uganda into a theocracy ruled by Kony's self-styled version of the Ten Commandments. The LRA is a militant group with a syncretic pseudo-Christian extreme religious ideology, known for the atrocities they commit against civilians, including murder, mutilations, rape, and in some accounts even cannibalism.

Directed by Kony, the LRA has earned a reputation for its actions against the people of several countries, including northern Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, and Sudan. It has abducted and forced an estimated 66,000 children to fight for them, and has forced the internal displacement of over 2 million people since its rebellion began in 1986. In 2005 Kony was indicted for war crimes by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, but has evaded capture.

約瑟夫·科尼(Joseph Kony)是烏干達游擊隊首領,聖主抵抗軍(LRA)的領導者。他欲建立一個基於十誡和阿喬利傳統的政教合一政府。但該組織被指嚴重侵犯人權,包括涉及致殘、施虐、強姦、綁架平民、使用童兵和屠殺等。在科尼的帶領下,聖主抵抗軍在烏干達北部、剛果(金)、蘇丹、南蘇丹擁有群眾基礎。自1986年叛亂以來,綁架和強迫了約66000名兒童加入戰爭,迫使國內超過200萬人流離失所。因此,科尼在2005年以戰爭罪和反人類罪等33項指控被海牙國際法庭起訴,但至今在逃。

初期,科尼的組織命名為「聯合聖靈救世軍」(United Holy Salvation Army)。隨後,科尼開始綁架平民兒童加入戰爭,男孩被迫成為軍人,女孩則淪為軍妓和性奴。科尼經常在綁架他們後殺掉他們的家人和鄰居。 據統計,自1986年以來,被科尼強行徵募的兒童約為66000人。1992年,該組織更名為聖主抵抗軍。科尼更神話個人形象,煽動仇恨。多年來,該組織頻繁襲擊平民,造成至少數萬人喪生,200萬人無家可歸。

M for Medusa


Freaks A-Z. Letter "M" 

Size: 210mm x 297mm 

Material:Charcoal pen 

In Greek mythology Medusa (Greek: Μέδουσα (Médousa), "guardian, protectress") was a Gorgon, a chthonic monster, and a daughter of Phorcys and Ceto. The author Hyginus, (Fabulae, 151) interposes a generation and gives Medusa another chthonic pair as parents. Gazing directly upon her would turn onlookers to stone. She was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion. 

梅杜莎,是希臘神話中的一個女妖,戈耳工三女妖之一。她的父親是福耳庫斯,母親則為海妖怪刻托。她的頭髮都是蛇。根據詩人奧維德的《變形記》(Metamorphoses 4.770)所述,她原是一位美麗的少女,因為與海神波塞冬私自約會(也有一些版本稱因美杜莎自恃長得美麗,竟然不自量力地和智慧女神比起美來,而被雅典娜詛咒),雅典娜一怒之下將美杜莎的頭髮變成毒蛇,而且給她施以詛咒,任何直望美杜莎雙眼的人都會變成石像,因此成了面目醜陋的怪物。
美杜莎最後被珀耳修斯取下首級,獻給雅典娜,雅典娜將美杜莎的頭嵌在神盾埃癸斯的中央。後來美杜莎一詞有「極度丑怪的女子」之含意。此外,傳說美杜莎與波塞頓有兩名子女,而這兩名子女在美杜莎被殺後,從她的身體走出來。他們分別是:飛馬珀伽索斯(後來成了飛馬座)及巨人克律薩俄耳(Χρυσάωρ)。

L for Lucifer


Freaks A-Z. Letter "L" 

Size: 210mm x 297mm 

Material:Charcoal pen 

Traditionally, Lucifer is a name that in English generally refers to the Devil or Satan before being cast from Heaven, although this is not the original meaning of the term. In Latin, from which the English word is derived, Lucifer (as a noun) means "light-bearer" (from the words lucem ferre). It was the name given to the dawn appearance of the planet Venus, which heralds daylight. For this meaning, English generally uses the names "Morning Star" or "Day Star", and rarely "Lucifer".
Use of the name "Lucifer" for the Devil stems from applying to the Devil what Isaiah 14:3–20 says of a king of Babylon whom it calls Helel, a Hebrew word that refers to the Day Star or Morning Star (the Latin term for which is lucifer In 2 Peter 1:19 and elsewhere, the same Latin word lucifer is used to refer to the Morning Star, with no relation to the Devil. In Revelation 22:16, Jesus himself is called the Morning Star, but not "Lucifer", even in Latin.

傳統意義上,路西法是《聖經》中的一個名詞,出現於《以賽亞書》第14章第12節。通常指被逐出天堂前的惡魔或者撒但,但這並不是路西法這個詞的原意。路西法這個詞衍生自拉丁語,由lux(光,所有格 lucis)和ferre(帶來)所組成,意思是「光之使者」,指黎明時出現的金星,預示著白晝的來臨。通常使用「晨星」或「啟明星」來表述這層原意,而不使用路西法這個詞。

J for Jason


Freaks A-Z. Letter "J" 

Size: 210mm x 297mm 

Material:Charcoal pen 

Jason Voorhees is a fictional character from the Friday the 13th series. He first appeared in Friday the 13th (1980), as the young son of camp cook-turned-murderer, Mrs. Voorhees, in which he was portrayed by Ari Lehman. Created by Victor Miller, with contributions by Ron Kurz, Sean S. Cunningham, and Tom Savini, Jason was not originally intended to carry the series as the main antagonist. The character has subsequently been represented in various other media, including novels, comic books, and a cross-over film with another iconic horror film character, Freddy Krueger.

The character has primarily been an antagonist in the films, whether by stalking and killing the characters, or acting as a psychological threat to the lead character, as is the case in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning. Since Lehman's portrayal, the character has been represented by numerous actors and stuntmen, sometimes by more than one at a time; this has caused some controversy as to who should receive credit for the portrayal. Kane Hodder is the best known of the stuntmen to portray Jason Voorhees, having played the character in four consecutive films.
