Some Sketches

[Andyman]

I love happy endings!

Me too, but the more I have been thinking, the less I was able to find one...

When Diana's parents were crucified, the citizens were so excited and discontented that the governor decided to spare their younger daughter and hide her somewhere in prison for half a year - till the tumultous people forget her and till she will grow adult. He succesfully kept her there till yesterday. Because just yesterday was Diana's most important birthday. She would be no longer a child. And the next morning she was led out of walls with the old patibulum beam on her weak girls' shoulders to the equally old stipes with an old, dirty, terribly big wooden cock covered with excrements and dried blood of the previous victims. At least they should give me a new, fresh one as my birthday gift - thought terrified Diana, and she wanted really say something of a kind, losing her mind due to the paralysing fear, but in the same moment she was beaten in the face, within few seconds brutally stripped naked and kicked in the crotch with laugh and she understood she is only a piece of shit and that she finally missed the birthday gift this year.

"Waiting for the hammer"

I see at least you too like Chris Rea's songs.

Somewhere in the northern countries another mid-aged wretch loses her last piece of clothing and dignity on the beginning of her lasting a week long agony...

I thought about the scenario but too late to edit the text, so let me do this there.
When the soldier led Gloria, the unfortunate wanna-be-thief, half-naked, wrapped around the hips with only the old rag and with hands bound tightly on her back, to the gallows, many villagers followed them. Finally they came and he begun to unbound knots and ordered Gloria to lay down. In this big village or a little town the villagers extremely rare burned their slaves down due to the risk of big fire so the females were often killed by crucifixion - however they were good people and they tried to make it fast and mercifully, for example they often let the condemned women to have their shame covered. But in this case our wanna-be-thief was unlucky because one of the execution witnesses was a daughter of a mayor, whose golden ring was lost and found too near to the Gloria's bag to assume it as a pure coincidence. Mayor's daughter was not a good woman and no pleas nor clarifications could save Gloria from death. Now she is watching the preparations and when she realized that the soldier wanted to use standard procedures she halted him with a short order: "Strip her naked". The soldier, who is a good man himself, was not happy with this new idea but the mayor's daughter was not a person to mess with, and so he removed the rug from the wanna-be-thief hips leaving her naked and ashamed. And then he took a hammer and nailed Gloria, still naked and ashamed, to the cross.

I think every man shall care for his wife and he should not let her be sad. But I had no choice and no chance to make her even a bit happier. At least I had possibility to accompany her during all these darkest hours or rather days of her life. But it was of no use. Day after day she looked more sad, depressed and tired. But she was very firm too and she never begged these damned Romans for a loincloth, a sip of water nor for a coup de grâce. I am proud of her. Now... Now she has perhaps gone - she passed out for the last time an hour ago and she didn't get back to senses. I cannot be sure because my eyes are tired and dry and I am half-blind. But I remember her hanging - or sitting on this damned square nail head placed smart under her most delicate parts - to the right and looking at me without a word, with her face pale and eyes red, weeping and breathing hard... Damned Romans! And I could do nothing - and now soon I will follow her, I feel. Yes... High time to go. Farewell!

These little vignettes really add something to the images, Andyman. You never know, you might find them growing and growing until the drawings are illustrations for full scale stories. Youre drawings have always been so expressive, and now we have your words to match.

And here we can see a crucified husband looking at her crucified wife.

"A spoiled sight".

It requires really a lot of money in those days to be a good Dad to the adolescent young lady.

Andyman, I just have to say, your sketches truly capture the essence of what we want to see in a crux: the compulsion to live despite extreme suffering, humiliation, and the beauty of the average human body. I'm not one who usually likes crux art (I prefer actual photos/videos), but your work is the exception.

 

[Andyman]

The most cruel humiliation: right after being stripped naked, the condemned is raped AND hammered to the beam in the same time, every second she feel strong push of man's cock together with the painful stroke of a hammer, driving nail into her wrist, piercing bones and nerves, and after a short pause into the second one. In my opinion nothing could be compared with such a cruelty at the very beginning - or in fact just before the beginning - of her real punishment: hanging on the cross.

"A spoiled sight".

"Always look at the bright side of life" never became so real as in this little account from a crucified!

At least her final lover will be an experienced one. Unlike the guards who grunted and rutted between her legs in the jail, it will stay hard for as long as she hangs on the cross.

Four nails and a pole - part 1 of 2.

Remarkable. Their is a relentless inevitability about this sequence, the stripping and shaming, the nailing and rape, raised and tortured, and left to suffer. Every picture adds to the story in its own way. For me the standout pic is this one. You capture her pain and terror so well in a few lines, and the mater of fact way the executioner parts her buttocks to receive the stake, treated like a piece of meat, every moment played out in the public eye.
