Interesting mirror image in the Awake Aug page 23, 2009.
This is the public version.

Below is the mirror image.

The devil should be more careful with his steel comb, he's given himself a hell of a parting!


Hi Art Critic,
Having said the above, the disciple to the right of Jesus in the picture has, what appears to be, an 'ambiguous fold' in the sleeve of his right arm.
I am not an artist, but I find it very doubtful that the random positioning of a sleeve, would make a symbolic pattern like that.

Now you've got me at it!

Could you explain to me what a mirror image is? Does that mean I would have to hold the magazine in front of a miror to get that picture? It looks nothing like the smaller version. Anyway, it's quite revolting.

I dunno... looks like photoshop combined with an active imagination to me.

Hi,
I see it too. I studied art & photography in school, I know the work /detail that goes into getting everything to look just right. If there was a fold like this in the sleeve, it should have been spotted and rearrainged. I work with fabric, & have made costumes , carefully searching for fabric that would drape correctly.If I had to paint or photograph someone historical & their costume was made from sheets, I'd be arrainging it to at least drape as close to what it should be.
Watchtower art always gave me a funny feeling. I remember stairing at pictures sensing something wasn't right, but never making it out. Now my mind is free & this stuff jumps out at me. Creepy.

Hey Joe!!


Hows it going?


Thanks for your good work in sharing Watchtower shadiness.

Watchtower pics are a little scarey to me. There is always some ulterior motive behind what they put in their publications.

Cheers brother!! Keep it up!!

Hi grateful
The Watchtower artists have had many years perfecting their sub art. There are many ways to hide an image. One way is to use half images or faces. The brain can subconsciously make up the full image. Below is an early example of using a half face. Its in the smoke. All I do as an artist is cut out the Half image and flip it for the viewer. Thats all I do. It just helps you see the full image. You could use a mirror too on the top painting above. Please be aware that most pictures could produce interesting images known as Pareidolia but watchtower half images I show have full bodies with many elements to them that cannot be PAREIDOLIA.

Is there any evidence at all that if these images are truly planted on purpose that they have any affect at all? Seems like a load of smoke and mirrors.

Hi Seraphim
Subliminal Images as I said in the past are created for a number of reasons but the question is, does it affect the brain? Dr Bahador Bahrami, of the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and the UCL Department of Psychology, said: "What's interesting here is that your brain does log things that you aren't even aware of and can't ever become aware of. We show that there is a brain response in the primary visual cortex to subliminal images that attract our attention -- without us having the impression of having seen anything. These findings point to the sort of impact that subliminal advertising may have on the brain. What our study doesn't address is whether this would then influence you to go out and buy a product. I believe that it's likely that subliminal advertising may affect our decisions -- but that is just speculation at this point."

Hope this helps, from your friend Joe
