I see the new English king has gone with "bathed in the blood of countless past generations" as the theme for his portrait
Can't say I hate the genuflection to reality

[ann post]

I'm not linking what newspaper i had to go to to find out but it was at the artist formerly known as prince that he have it as an 'i like nature' motif.

 

[ann post]

I like it as a painting

 

[hydromancer]

Because the Monarchy is transforming like a butterfly a well know type of which is called a Monarch.
Like why can't there just be one hanging around without everyone over thinking it you know ?

 

[hydromancer]

Unless it maybe symbolize Mothra which would make Charlie Gojira

 

[ann post]

are you sure you aren't overthinking it, considering he's literally said what it is?

 

[hydromancer]

Well the artist reportedly said something to that affect or very similar when it was unveiled earlier today or that's at least what I read on sky news a minute ago

It is actually a monarch butterfly if you look at the pattern. I hadn’t even clocked the butterfly in my first glance, I was so entranced by the Hellraiser vibes.

My wife saw it last night. I knew she had just come across it because I heard her across the room exclaim “Jesus Christ, I thought Francis Bacon was dead!”

 

[magicbastarder]

yeah, that was my first reaction too, very baconesque.

The monarch butterfly isn’t exactly subtle.

Neither is the monarchy.

It is actually a monarch butterfly if you look at the pattern.

In this spirit, you will often see an artist depicting a monkey in paintings of important bishops
