Bastille Day + ART

[nirejseki.livejournal.com]

Happy Bastille Day, everyone!

Have a fun twisting-the-universe Committee of Public Safety picture.



Technological Advances of the CSP


The Committee of Public Safety is always so busy. Even with all these new technological gadgets - up-to-date reports on the behavior of the representatives on mission, intelligence reports coming in every minute, live-action price charts and military screens - even live voice conferencing!

Oh, well, as life gets easier, it also gets harder...

Happy Bastille Day! And I'm glad you like it. ^^ And hey, if you ever have an idea you want to see drawn, I'm always up to take requests!

Thanks, Nirejseki! What I really wish is to see different moments of Thermidor in art. It's a very special drama that had never been very well represented in movies , nor in art..I also like 2 June 1793. I've always liked when Girondins had been expelled from Convention...Muhahahaha. :D

Happy Bastille Day!

Wow, you art is really really good! I wish I could draw like that! I also love the idea behind it - a friend and I had a discussion today what the French Revolution would have been like if the internet existed back then and your art reminded me of that xD

I've got a bit of a problem with figuring out who's who in the picture. I do recognize Robespierre, Couthon and Saint-Just but I couldn't tell with the others.

Thanks! It's always fun to play around with time periods and technology. ^^

Table from left to right: Barère, Billaud-Varenne, Carnot (above), Robespierre (below), Lindet, Prieur de la Côte-d'Or, Couthon.
Saint Just is the one video conferencing from Alsace; of the other "absent" CSP members: top row, left to right: Collot d'Herbois and Hérault de Séchelles; bottom row left to right: Prieur de la Marne and Saint-André.

Hope that helps!

There is just one thing I don't understand: why aren't they all busily texting, emailing and Facebooking on their smartphones? ;)

Happy Bastille Day!

Well, you know, after Danton was removed from his position as Minister after an unfortunate tweeting scandal with his child's nursemaid, it was decided that there should be a committee member in charge of official communications via social media (Barere, of course) and that the rest of them would live without while in the green room. The intelligence reports get updated live via smartphone, though! XD
