“Then the all-glorious, all-powerful, and true God, displayed his holy countenance, and opened the gates of heaven, from which two angels, dreadful of form, came down and were visible to all but the Jews.” (3 Maccabees 6:18, Brenton)
“And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;” (2 Peter 2:13, KJV)

Now, we’ll all have our time on the rapid And we may end together, alone, going ‘round and about in an eddy bruised and broken and soaked to the bone. But the eddy keeps silent the wild current’s call alongside those now grateful captains and all we are given reprieve from a death at the fall as we move to and fro’ in the spin. We stand safe, as the spin takes us in.
Image Brief — “Britian. A Chocolate State of Mind.” (Landscape / Conference Hall) Visual Concept: A photographic, data-style image capturing the absurdity of corporate branding and political satire. The chocolate bar spelling “Britian” is the central focus. The scene is staged in a conference hall, emphasizing the formal-but-absurd atmosphere of a high-profile political event. Core Elements: • Chocolate bar front and center, wrapper crumpled, spelling clearly visible. • Backdrop / environment: realistic conference hall — lectern in the frame, faint rows of seating or stage elements, subtle signs of a political event. No office props. • Palette: predominantly blue tones (lighting, hall décor, banners), with small Tory-signifier accents (navy, subtle red) to hint at political context. • Orientation: landscape (wide) — must match the style and aspect ratio of other blog images. • Lighting / style: naturalistic photography; soft, realistic shadows; slightly moody, surreal undertone; no cartoonish or illustrative effects. • Mood / atmosphere: dry, ironic, subtly surreal — visually echoing Tom Kite’s sardonic, satirical voice. Typography (optional): Small text on wrapper: “Have a break from reality” in clean, bold type, integrated naturally into the photographic scene. Use / Context: • Featured image for blog post “Britian. A Chocolate State of Mind.” • Must work as both thumbnail and full-size blog header. • Maintain photographic, slightly surreal style consistent with other blog imagery Inspiration is Hannah Hoch, Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Stezaker
“And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.” (1 Samuel 25:41, KJV)
