The Holly King

by Chris Martin

ADDITIONAL ART

  Referencing artwork which the reader may not be familiar with or remember well was something I was a little concerned with while writing The Holly King. But the dexterity of ebooks, I believe, alleviates this. Also, there are some photo manips that I used on thismodernelk as illustrations or otherwise breakup the text which I include here as well. I compiled this list at the end of the book, rather than installing hyperlinks in the text because I thought it would be less distracting.

  So here’s a guide to some of them. Note that by doing so I do not have permission from the authors or owners of these pieces to link from my work to their sites, and their involvement in or association with my work is nil. Many of these pieces, however, exist in the public domain.

  ~ photo manip of animated Christmas party elves

  ~ the Hancock family Christmas tree

  ~ Darby Crash, of the Germs. You can also go here for a recording of “We Must Bleed,” so long as YouTube permits it.

  ~ F.W. Heine’s The Wilde Jagd

  ~ another beautiful Yule Goat or Julebocken by artist John Bauer, 1912

  ~ a relief of Mithras slaying the bull, from the Louvre. Read the description below the photo for a brief overview of the piece. Examples of Mithraeum, or the temples to Mithras abound on the internet and should be seen. Here is one of them.

  ~ Botticelli’s Mystical Nativity

  ~ Titian’s Annunciation

  ~ sample of the apostle carpeting in the Hosanna Hills Promontory Ministry

  ~ phony book and magazine covers about evangelocalism

  ~ Fra’ Angelico’s St. Lawrence Receiving Treasures of the Church, and Arraignment Before Valerianus from the Niccoline Chapel, the Vatican.
