Addendum 1.1 Dragonriders vs Dungeons & Dragons

It turns out Dragon Riders of the Styx was sued by TSR (the creators of Dungeons & Dragons) for directly copying monsters from the original Monster Manual. Instead of redesigning the figures, the toy company took a truly bizarre approach: they literally shaved the faces off their characters and kept selling them. Yep — that’s why those Dragon Riders figures are faceless.

CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit — all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” Brian Eno — A Year With Swollen Appendices, Faber and Faber | 1996 "Many artists have directly and indirectly affected and influenced my work... but perhaps Doré has been the most influential."
