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.
