As a child, I had a nightmare vision that was horribly similar to this, only on a much smaller scale.

Nick Knight, Alexander McQueen, ‘Angel’ 2000, music by Bjork
“The concept is quintessential Knight/McQueen. Create the face of an angel and place it, pride of place, in a church in the southern French town of Avignon. Nothing much new about that, you might think, except that instead of using stained glass or any other such obvious and/or widely deemed appropriate materials, the pair constructed the piece entirely out of dyed maggots - 80 gallons of dyed maggots, to be precise. It’s a frankly horrifying thought, which is, of course, the point. The designer and photographer have by now collaborated on more than one idea that subverts our preconceptions of what is and isn’t beautiful. Ideas that, on the face of it, may rile the more politically correct among us and appear to be no more than sensational, once executed seem rather more tender, lovely - moving even - than had been expected.” -Of Maggots and Madonnas, Susannah Frankel
Yoinked from a commenter on jwz’s blog, on a post about real life stupid human tricks.

If Warren Ellis is right and this is just a marketing stunt, it’s a damn inventive one that knows how to push all my heeby-jeeby buttons.
From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc.
At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling the man of the portrait by the people who have seen this man in their dreams.
There are lots of dreams and drawings on the site, but this dream in particular was too fun to ignore:
“I have never had homosexual relationships or even fantasies. But I dream about having sexing with this man all the time. I must admit he has a lot of imagination and he pleases me. Sometimes when I wake up I discover I have had a nocturnal emission.”
Once when I was a child I experienced an instance of sleep paralysis in which a hypnopompic vision of a giant, green, glowing, disembodied, face hovered feet above my supine position. Think Wizard of Oz, only much more threatening.
I saw Warren’s link and was terrified it would be the same man…
It wasn’t. My guy was much more bald, and much more wrinkly.
Phew.
Anyway, the domain is registered to a guerrigliamarketing.it email, so Warren’s probably right.
