What is it? (NSFW)

I googled "Micturating Angel" and I found this:

Kids, it's all about dental hygiene here, now innit?

It's hilariously brrrilliant - I don't get it, but it's awesome. It's WHY it's awesome. And it fits with the Angel too. Ha!

In the meantime: some other comics

Hi chums!

The Angel cartoon is still under construction with Mr. Zac Von Bamberger creating some kick-arse electro-bizarness for a soundtrack in downtown Berlin - as we speak.
So as soon as that's done - the cartoon shall be musicified and unleashed!
But until then, those who crave silly comics from yours truly will have to put up with some hand-drawn stuff.
And it's not on this blog either. I'm gonna make you go to my other blog - teleport you as it were, care of the amazing Intertubes!
So prepare friends, for An Appalling Deconstruction Pts 1 & 2 - hand-drawn by yours truly. Without any words (except for some onomatopoeia).
Here be the covers:

Oh yeah - it's not 100% SFW - there's boobs. And violence and God gets drunk, and the Minotaur loses an eye, and there's robot-sex and Mexican wrestling too. Y'know - it's a comic!

But why is she pissing?

Let's get to the nitty-gritty about this comic that seems to kick most people about the teeth:

micturation = pissing.

Ergo, the title of this comic is The Pissing Angel.

BUT WHYYYYYY?!!!

Truth be told the title came to me years ago, when I made the original booklet this series is sort of based on (see blog post HERE ).

It just jumped into my head. I just like the sound of it. I don't even know where I learned the damn word and that's important to mention: English is a second language to me, I learnt it when I came to Australia in 1986. I was 11.

There are words I like in English purely for the sound of it, and I guess "micturating" / "micturation" is one. If you think about it, it's a wonderfully 'hard' word, a lot of consonants for an action involving fluids, ie: softs. The word almost doesn't fit, at least "piss" sounds like the deed.

Next. I grew up around hospitals/ medical equipment, so I dig medical terms.

Next. No I don't get off on chicks pissing.

Next. Pissing Angels are actually quiet common in Europe (where I'm from). You'll see them weeing in fountains, as little statues at home, as soda water dispensers, etc. My grandparents had one and I was very intrigued by the concept of a cherub/ angel (a supposedly holy critter) taking a piss - something seen as "rude"/ vulgar - yet this was supposed to be an object of humour!

" I'ma put muh dik on yo' drinkin' water!"

It's important to realise that this comic is not to be taken seriously, btw, or not TOO seriously.

Lastly, as explained in Issue #1: there's the religious connection with blood, blood-letting, blood-sacrifice, blood of Christ, bleeding Christ (in some depictions he looks like he's pissing from his ribs, hahaha!), and so on. Our Angel uses second-hand blood, ie: piss to baptise or whatever it is she uses it for.

It's important for her to do this as she is The Outsider and therefore must shock. She can not make friends with "nice", but must rock their world in order to open their eyes.

And if I offended you, oh I'm sorry...

But maybe you need to be offended

But here's my apology and one more thing...fuck you!

"Can't Bring Me Down" - Suicidal Tendencies

And so on and so forth.

Any questions?

Reviews, kind words, etc - people who like "The Micturating Angel"

Dear Xtian:Just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed very much your delightfully scabrous micturating angels in Hydrolith 2!All best,

Sasha Vlad

The above was an email sent to yours truly by a fine Surrealist and it warmed the cockles of my heart. Please, everyone start referring to the Angel as a "delightfully scabrous" comic! 

I've also come across some other reviews/ recommendations on this here Interwebs, so here we go:

from Surrealismo Internacional [surrint.blogspot.com.au], a Spanish blog dedicated to all things Surrealism, we find a review of Hydrolith #2, the anthology wherein the first issue of this comic was published last year (see earlier entry HERE).

Quote:

"Among the many illustrations, with a predominance of collages and drawings, but also paintings and digital works, I can only highlight some preferences:  ...[a] very original comic [by] Xtian, Melbourne, entitled The micturating [sic] Angel , "fairy science and erotic" in which he systematically involved with a fun result, on some figures to George Levis, narrating the stories of girls Bella Hayley, Molly, Gaby and Lucinda-all a discovery that makes us want to do the same with many bookmarks, or even indifferent comics (in these, the improvement would be obvious)."
(I translated this with Google...)
See original article HERE. 

The reviewer also posts a page from the comic, which I'm very happy about.

I had to google who Georges Levis was - a flattering comparison I have to say (THIS should give you some idea - oh and the link is NSFW, ooo-err).

Our third and last (for now) kind champion (David Nadeau) is from Canada. His  blog is also devoted to Surrealism, is called présence du surréalisme [surrealismeactuel.blogspot.com.au] and we find a simple recommendation of a T-shirt related to the Angel (one of the Secret Chiefs designs - huh? what? click HERE ).

To these people I say 

THANK YOU.

Feedback, reviews and recommendations are most welcome. Whilst I don't expect anyone "to get" what I'm doing with this comic (9 times outta 10 I donno either), it's great to see people connecting (positively) with it.

EXCELSIOR!
