From the teeming morass that is the ever seething interwebs every once in a while you happen across something that truly makes one pause and reflect. And no, I’m not talking about 2 Girls 1 Cup. Trevor Brown of the Baby Art blog scanned and posted a handful of images from a series by japanese mangaka Takashi Itsuke, which later came to the attention of Coilhouse(which I’m rapidly growing fond of). The subject of the unfortunately short series is amputated robotic bondage scenes. The interplay of so many emotionally intense elements; the cold functionality of technology, the human vulnerability of the subject, the grisly decadence of a society based on replaceability, all contribute to a truly and strangely moving tableau. The effect is not unlike taking a sudden, unexpected step to the left and quickly discovering you’d run out of earth to stand on. More can be found on Trevor’s site here and here. Not so much SFW, naturally.
