“War is old men talking and young men dying” Odysseus, Troy [the movie] Even if you didn’t like the movie; that’s a quote worth remembering. The t-shirt you see here has taken that quote; mixed it up with Danny’s theme to get: 1. A mushroom cloud of the nuclear variety. 2. The Pentagon, where the old men talk. 3. An F-117 Stealth Bomber, always out of range. These all combine to make a skull [which I told Lucan I’d never use on a t-shirt … but now I have … sort of]. If you think it doesn’t need the text, comment or send me a bubblemail, I have a version waiting in the wings without it.
Companion piece, of sorts, to this.
My grandfather knows everything about growing the most beautiful flowers and mint by the driveway. When he talks about world war…

I wrote this way back on the 8th of August 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of the atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. To see more of my work visit / www.hysteria.com.au / © James Cole
Dropped on Aug. 6, 1945, Hiroshima, Japan. The Hiroshima bomb, known as “Little Boy” – a reference to former President Roosevelt, contained the equivalent of between 12 and 15,000 tons of TNT and devastated an area of five square miles (13 square kilometres). More than 60% of the buildings in the city were destroyed. / Official Japanese figures at the time put the death toll at 118,661 civilians. But later estimates suggest the final toll was about 140,000, of Hiroshima’s 350,000 population, including military personnel and those who died later from radiation. Many have also suffered long-term sickness and disability. Three days later, the United States launched a second, bigger atomic bomb against the city of Nagasaki. The device known as “Fat man”, after Winston Churchill, weighed nearly 4,050 kg (nearly 9,000lb). Nagasaki is surrounded by mountains and because of this the level of destruction was confined to about 2.6 square miles or 6.7 square kilometres. Nearly 74,000 were killed and a similar number injured. Remember which nation is the only one in history to ever use such evil weaponry. I know there is an ‘argument’ that it put an end to WW2, but at the cost of a lot of innocent people (including women, children and old dudes). I am in no way anti-USA but I find it hard to understand why the USA feel they can now tell which nation can, and which nation cannot, have nuclear weapons…? Lets ALL get rid of them and share a safer and less paranoid world. Detail /

This is an older painting I did about 4 years ago. I just donated it to The Arthouse Gallery which was quite hard because I have become quite attached to her. Unfortunately I didn’t get the full image in when I took the photo. The bottom is cut short- the real painting is to her mid thigh. This is the inner goddess of a friend and fellow artist Nikki Lee- painted with acrylics on stretched canvas.
