Mondo A Clockwork Orange poster illustration. art by Wylie Beckert.
info Most of the iconic visuals from the film come from its early scenes - Alex's droog costume, the Korova Milk Bar, ultraviolence. I've always found the second half of the story more compelling, though: a post-Ludovico-Technique Alex tortured by all the things that once brought him joy and ill-equipped to fend for himself in a world that hasn't been correspondingly reformed.

The Wicked Kingdom deck: Illustrated Playing Cards. art by Wylie Beckert
info "The King of Clubs, whose kingdom's enduring peace was bought with steel and blood. The few remaining souls who have faced his armies on the field of battle tell strange stories of teeth and claws, of warriors who eat human flesh and wear the skins of fabulous beasts.

His current life is one of quiet diplomacy behind high walls; his far-seeing eyes, though, are always trained on the uneasy world beyond his guarded borders. In his armories, the forge-fires are never permitted to go out, and his beast-skin armor is never allowed to lose its polish..."

Masks - wrestling with our inner demons and better angels. art by Wylie Beckert
info We take great comfort in the idea that within each of us, beneath the many masks we wear, is a kernel of "self" - something solid and unchanging that represents who we really are...

In actuality, our personalities are an ever-changing mirror of our circumstances; each of us is a mere change of scenery away from yielding to our better angels or inner demons.
