Leo Tolstoy and Dorothy Day were Christian anarchist. Day was sainted recently.

OOO, I did not know that about Day. I am glad to hear it. Gives me hope that I can achieve the same one day. Can you imagine, Me, Sainted. Now that is better than the winning the Pulitzer Prize. That is the best news I have heard in a long time. Thank you for making my month so wonderful!
Dorothy Day learned about anarchy when she was young from Peter Kropotkin. Leo Tolstoy was a pen pal with Gandhi (also anarchist) and inspired him to start revolution in India. Other well known Christian anarchists are Ammon Hennacy, known for the Joe Hill House; Oscar Wilde, famous Irish writer, and of course, James Connolly, founder of anarcho-syndicalist union IWW. While Connolly himself is a democratic socialist, he sympathized with anarchy and worked with many anarchists to found IWW while in America.
In my book Black Amethyst https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/black-amethyst I mention the IRA and how I felt after reading so many of the written material of the Irish and there confrontations with work programs of that era, feeling much has not changed in our present era of progress. Feeling many have become lulled by the notion that the only constant change is progress. Needing not to have to pull out ones flag of rebellion, every time taxes are raised, that I should express how I felt at that time in my life. Of course I am African American and the IRA would never accept my papers of induction, I loved what they stood for back then.
Thomas J. Hagerty, a priest, was also IWW co-founder like James Connolly. He unfortunately had tragic end in his life. Adin Ballou, an abolitionist. Lizzie Magie, created the Landlord's Game that ironically co-opted by capitalists for Monopoly, was a Christian Georgist, a sub tendency of anarcho-socialism.
Speaking of Akiras, btw, the movie/manga Akira had some impressive motorcycle design too. Something with that name...
Oh yes he did, but for me to draw that bike or anything similar to it would instantly transport viewers back to that classic manga. I loved it though. Can you imagine, it was created the same year I was born. 1988. That is how long small detailing, inked pieces have been all the rave. Might have been a lot longer, but certainly that is when people realized, something massive can arise from the minds of illustrators.
Ah a year before me! Nice. I grew up with those movies, even if I should've been a bit late when I was the right age to see them. Still such works of art. Goes to show that if you really spend time on your craft it becomes timeless. :)
Making a distinction between Akira the movie and Akira Toriyama btw, if you didn't catch that. The Dragon Ball franchise had some awesome stuff in it too. Manga mostly. And yeah, it's pretty incredible how just the depiction of a bike gives you that correlation...
Or how drawing cars will make people want to read Initial D, Mangas, classic stuff. When you got older and watched Akira again, what was something you noticed from the Anime that you might have missed as a child?
@Cyberdevil Child was not the right word...when you were younger and watched it once and now as an adult that you noticed now, is what I was asking.
Aw yeah, Initial D was the shizzle too! I'm not sure... it's been a while since I watched it last now, but it might've been the elements more so than the action. The drugs. The world. The unfairness and strange ways relations change and evolve... I'm pretty sure I didn't relate anything much to the real world the first times I saw it. Maybe the atomic bombs. Maybe I noticed new facets to the art as well... really need to see it again to see what I might've seen last time I saw it! XD
How about you? Any real realizations you look back on?
There was a scene when I was about 20 that really resonated with me, that I did not seem to get when I was like 5 or 6. After I saw it, I rewound the film and it kind of took on new meaning for me. It was the scene when tetsuo shima is wanting to defend his girlfriend and wants to be strong like his idol Shōtarō Kaneda and completely wails on the officers that are chasing them. Right before he loses his guts all over the place and starts falling into the ground and his brain splits, that is when Shotaro realizes how much of an impact he had on his little gang. How much of a father figure he was to a bunch of misfits. So in the end when he faces his friend who is all snapped and acting crazy, it reminded me of old yeller, and I always wondered if Shotaro knew from the moment Tetsuo rebuffed him, that one day he might have to put him down like a rabid dog. Of Mice and Men you know.
Oh man, you definitely derived some deeper sentiments of being from that movie than I did... interesting how it all goes full circle too. Wonder if it was intentional as well or just how it all played out in the end.
Mice and Men was such a great book too. Simple things.
Tasty pastries, daises, faces (zombie art potential), mazes, Haiti... there's a lot of near-rhymes at least. ;) I've never thought of Inktober as a countdown btw, but that's a nice sentiment...
I know the creator of it, did not intend for it to be that way. Especially with words like Snow and Ornament, and I think there was another one that reminded me of New Years...oh yeah Freeze. Where I live no one is freezing in the month of October. I think they are in Canada though.
