Jakub Szela as envisioned by yours truly. Szela was also a pioneer of men’s tough-guy hair fashion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/5272b5ed-99d9-4efa-8812-776a6f11a151/1000033310.jpg The Kozmokat Express - The Peasants Revolt - Make it stand out This is the most well-known depiction of Szela and the closest we have to a photo. It comes from “The Illustirte Cronink” of 1848. Unlike a majority of his contemporary leading political agitators and outlaws in the known world, we have no known photos of Szela, so this will have to do. I suppose that’s a measure of how povo 19th century Southern Poland AKA Galicia was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/14b2c14d-8735-4d80-864a-c698bfa5f625/1000033311.jpg The Kozmokat Express - The Peasants Revolt - Make it stand out The peasant family abode in the village of Smarżowa, current population est 650.

Internal resolution correction for brightness would nullify any danger for dmage to their artificial retinas. Therefore, as robots increasingly mimic human appearances, you should be able to spot someone as a real human if they are searing sunglasses. Inverting Terminator2 logic. AT least until they learn the need for disguises, meaning they are being programmed to deceive people. Maybe that will be the secret ingredient to make them indistinguishable from humans.

Everyone always likes this photo of the Futurist posse. Just something about those dapper long coats. When is early-1910s fashion making a comeback. I need to get myself a monacle, cane and bowler hat too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/9660ad1e-05b4-4814-8dfc-5371421813c5/1000030020.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Marinetti And Futurism: Making Headlines in 1909 - Make it stand out Le Figaro, 20th February 1909. The original Futurist Manifesto appeared on the front page. Marinetti and the Futurists would write a number of manifestos over the next few years on a range of topics, centred on rejecting past conventions and embracing technological change. But their primary focus was in the world of painting and the visual arts. You could also call them quite virile and macho in their prose. Ultimately WW1 would blow a lot of steam out of the movement, though Marinetti and a couple of others would continue to take part in Italys interar cultural and political scene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/cacc9530-f3bc-425b-b31b-ab8fa76c7b96/1000030018.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Marinetti And Futurism: Making Headlines in 1909 - Make it stand out Marinetti as he appears on the manifesto’s wikipedia page. That’s the face of a resolute man. He and the futurists were all natonalists and extolled the virtues of war. Marinetti and a few of the others served in WW1. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/f0552d1a-a2f6-47e5-88a0-ee3b030bc2b9/1000030021.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Marinetti And Futurism: Making Headlines in 1909 - Make it stand out “The Laugh” by Umberto Boccioni. Any discussion about the Futurist Manifestos or Marinetti inevitably leads to the question “But what about the art? Was any of it any good?” You’ll get some divided opinions on that one, ranging from “some of it was okay” to “no it was all shit”. I’d say I’m in the former camp and do like the one above. But it was probably a movement better known for its aesthetic and philosophical influences rather than the works in their own right. Most people would call Boccioni the most talented of the lot, and sadly he died young at the front in WW1. Not in battle, but in training when he was thrown off his horse and trampled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/60746d13-c92d-4a31-a01c-eb64ef1570da/1000030023.png The Kozmokat Express - Marinetti And Futurism: Making Headlines in 1909 - Make it stand out The architect Antonio Sant’Elia was another war casualty, though he did die in battle. His drawings were considered, for better or worse, very influential for architects and future-set designers in movies and the like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/aaaaee52-7e3d-49e5-9248-10f585f2cb46/1000030022.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Marinetti And Futurism: Making Headlines in 1909 - Make it stand out Gino Severini at the Marlborough Gallery during a 1913 exhibition. Gino did actually manage to live a full life, dying in 1966, aged 82. The art-focus segment can continue for quite some time, its worth looking at Giacomo Balla, Carlo Carra, and futurist-peripherals/Italian peers Giorgio Di Chirico, Fortunato Depero and Mario Sironi, as well as the “2nd-wave” of futurism: The Aeropittura movement https://www.kozmokat.net/blog/dim-sum-and-hunan-cuisine monthly 0.5 2026-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1767237959189-MSNPSNP1GZMAX7RR2V5A/1000029852.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Dim Sim, Szechwan and Hunan Cuisine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/61a3ac38-586d-4e39-a454-635ddc8460e3/1000029848.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Dim Sim, Szechwan and Hunan Cuisine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/47bff5de-8cd2-421b-8d62-2acdde8d97ce/1000029853.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Dim Sim, Szechwan and Hunan Cuisine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/5c729f54-0344-4fd5-aaaf-740595dc7853/1000029347.png The Kozmokat Express - Dim Sim, Szechwan and Hunan Cuisine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kozmokat.net/blog/thems-the-breaks monthly 0.5 2025-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1766021981618-YLY9A4SOBW8IOSM3P7RH/1000029400.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Thems The Breaks - Make it stand out Kurtis Blow in a more demure mood with brass shoulder pads.

The Concept Stage - Make it stand out A couple of concept ideas i jotted midweek for this painting. There’s a few visual ideas I am going to employ which I havent visibly sketched out, but I’m taking inspiration from 80s-90s American high-school tropes mixed in with some fantasy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1748054476575-K7MFBCQT9ATPA5VEUQKK/1000023636.jpg The Kozmokat Express - The Concept Stage - Make it stand out I used Burnt SIenna to start the underpainting. If you want to oil-paint in layers with glazing techniques, then you’ll find some oil paints way better than others. Accounting for the fact that you can ignore me and do whatever the hell you want, some ground rules from traditional practice can come in handy. Burnt Sienna is an earthy mid-brown pigment that has a long history as “the starter colour” for paintings. It dries quickly, is stable, looks nice and even in terms of tonal/colour values, and blends well with other colours. Not every colour or device stacks up to modern knowledge, but Burnt Sienna is as reliable as it’s always been. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1748061136063-R92LJO8T14GBDMKWA7NV/1000023638.jpg The Kozmokat Express - The Concept Stage - Make it stand out Worhd Ruv Chinah.

JFK would later say “No news picture in history has generated so much emotion around the world as that one” and the photographer Malcolm Browne would win World Press Photo Of The Year. The footage led to increased pressure against the Dien regime, which eventually collapsed, with Diem and his brother Nhu being assassinated the next day. Imitation protests were performed by other monks as well as by Vietnam War protesters in the US later on. Years earlier, a Buddhist monk in China had also self-immolated in protest against Maos anti-religious persecutions.

This massive demon tortoise-head is the big showstopper to that appears about a third of the way into the game. As you can see it pops out a mini version out of its mouth, a-la the Alien movies. Complicating things would be the sucking vortex as it would try to suck you in, the falling rubble and the risk of gettign crushed at the wall at the left-edge of the screen as it advanced forward. You’re meant to get past this guy by striking at the little head whenever you can.

A friend who hosted the parties wrote years later (in an article titled Witkacy wasn’t a drug addict”) that Witkacy drug-taking was over-scandalised, and he was mainly interested in how different substances would affect how one produced an artwork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/14c6ec78-7778-403f-9fc2-9aca5d6fb083/1000020954.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Witkacy: Caught In the Middle - Make it stand out An excerpt from my book of ‘Poeze i Rysunki’ (drawings) by Witkacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1741764205658-PYWOI4YXO637E018QPPI/1000021374.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Witkacy: Caught In the Middle - Make it stand out Witkacy was heavily involved in the theatrical arts too (Kraków has long had a culture of cabaret clubs, theatre groups, opera and other live performance).

You become more aware of this as you go through the editing process for photos of your work. This is an untouched and uncropped version of the above photo for you to compare. I think photo touch-ups of my paintings are necessary, as a photo tends to flatten and desaturate tonal/colour values. Remember, a photo can never perfectly copy the real thing. The camera lies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1741399332227-VGOZFOBI8DNIWERUCO80/1000021289.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Calling It Done - Make it stand out Another good trick is to look at your work from afar constantly, maybe through a window or lens, and see how the value arrangements are working. For me, I’m lucky enough to have a prefab built-in arrangement owing to the fact that I paint in an undercover extension of the house I live in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1741399383281-LSLI7ARYSXTJ7O5UF931/1000021271.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Calling It Done - Make it stand out This is some of the crap that currently sits on the left-hand side of the big easel, behind the small easel. It’s basically there for inspiration, decor, ideas, or whatever else. Though you don’t want it to take over your working space, it’s cool to have a little shrine of objects nearby that inspire you to do your work.

To quote the website Meristation: “In these three games, based on the movie of the same name, Moonwalker, the King of Pop signed on as designer and composer. The title was a nice beat'em up with horizontal scroll in which we tried to rescue, through music and dance, several kids kidnapped by the clutches of the fearsome Mr. Big.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1652760b-c85c-44b4-989a-5b0fda463441/1000020995.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Sonic 3: The MJ Saga - Make it stand out Longtime Sega President Hayao Nayakami was determined to take Nintendo’s crown as console king. Having attempted, unsuccesfully, to motivate Sega-of-America’s CEO Michael Katz with the rallying cry “Hyakumandai!”, Japanese for “1 million”(… as in, get a million sales in the mega-drive’s first year…) he dismissed Katz and replaced him with Tom Kalinske, Tom’s aggressive four-point plan including bundling Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in with the console itself. Nayakami was also blessed to have Yuji Naka on his team, who was leading a development team on a game character “to beat Super Mario”. The console wars were on, and Sega were going to hook into the cool side of American pop-culture to claim an edge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/befd387f-d779-4fa5-9bc4-5bad56c281fd/1000020996.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Sonic 3: The MJ Saga - Make it stand out Masato Nakamura, a bassist for a J-Pop band, did the music for the first 2 Sonic games. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/b7541a72-ff44-4af1-a75e-7bfdd040b4d5/1000020993.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Sonic 3: The MJ Saga - Make it stand out Yuji Naka, aka YU2, was the co-creator for the original Sonic Games, including Sonic 3, and was president of the Sonic Team at Sega until he left the company in 2006. Seen as the main creative force of the Sonic Games, he confirmed MJ was involved in a tweet in 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/c0deb5c3-d447-449e-9475-ee9d73f7b237/1000021005.jpg The Kozmokat Express - Sonic 3: The MJ Saga - Make it stand out Whacko Jacko and his keyboardist Brad Buxer, who was also at the top of published music credits at the end of the original Sonic 3 game . Brad Buxer toured with MJ and was a creative collaborator from 1989 onwards. Over the years he’s been the source for a lot of the heresay over MJs involvement with Sonic 3. Buxer’s most recent comments in 2022 indicate that MJ actually just let him do most of the legwork for the Sonic 3 music, with MJ actually only doing one song, and Buxer providing melodies taken from the end-credits of Sonic 3 to be used in the 1996 MJ single “Strangers In Moscow”. Buxer is now a professional pilot according to wiki. https://www.kozmokat.net/blog/you-cant-change-the-past-you-grew-up-with monthly 0.5 2025-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1740802486249-FCIY3OXPR9B1AZ94BGQV/1000021044.jpg The Kozmokat Express - You Can’t Change The Past You Grew Up With - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kozmokat.net/blog/the-downfall-of-money monthly 0.5 2025-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/240df713-3768-4766-99be-9b32317ae9dc/1000020453.jpg The Kozmokat Express - The Downfall Of Money - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1740366797538-ICLKUBX5GHNDU9SLJNTQ/1000020884.jpg The Kozmokat Express - The Downfall Of Money - Make it stand out Though not featured in the book, the painting “Eclipse Of The Sun”, painted in 1926 by George Grosz, is seen to encapsulate the tumultuous Weimar era and was painted just after the currency was revalued. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a456bf5dfb687fb00a7a24/1740366814195-VJ8PD6ISXQIK3TUUASPA/1000020883.jpg The Kozmokat Express - The Downfall Of Money - Make it stand out George Grosz was a German painter who experienced the 1920s hyperinflation firsthand. Extracts of his diary appear in the book. He chose to migrate to the US in 1933, shortly before Hitler came to power. He returned to Berlin in 1959, a few months before his death.
