The image is very promising but not yet finished obviously. Someone should sell
otter noses... (From: The Life of Brian).
Personally I missed a concert of Frank Zappa at a similiar theatre at Orange,
France, many years ago. But I had to travel to Finland which was an experience
with insects (midges in this case) indeed.
BTW: Selling things has nothing to do with capitalism. A major aspect of
capitalism is that the worker has to sell his work force to the owner of the
production devices (see Karl Marx: The Capital). We don't know under what
conditions the pillows are crafted here.
Best regards,
Michael

They are very probably hand crafted by artisants, and sold directly by
them, or sold to some merchand who, in turn, sell them to the clients.
Typical pre-industrial economy.

Is it exhausted and should be recharged?

Things seem to have changes since the last time I visited. There even is
a embryo of a workers union for slaves. :-)

Has Iskander not kept you abreast of developments? Or has he left town as well?

May be Iskander joined the slave union and operates undercover now.
Thomas gave only hints of his fantasy town Gancaloon and its heroes.
But he still feeds our imagination with his postings and his images.
And may be every recipient sees a different story.
Congratulations to Thomas to have achieved this.
Best regards,
Michael

It is complicated. The homing pigeons we normally use regularly
disappear (eaten?). I don't know where exactly Iskander is at the moment.

A further stage.
Also experimenting with texture variations.
