Etchasketchathon
Jake and Dinos Chapman have created numerous miniaturized 'hellscapes' – panoramas of apocalyptic destruction and totalitarian genocide – as well as scenes of horror movie carnage or Warhol inspired car crashes in which 'death and disaster' abound. These works owe a debt to pre-modern masters such as Hieronymus Bosch as well as to Goya and media images of actual mass slaughter.
Etchasketchathon 2005 revisits children's art through the form of coloring books, which the Chapmans see as an example of the 'misanthropic' aspects of contemporary society: examples of the lies we tell to and about children.

Apathia
Apathy is a lack or suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation and passion. The word is derived from Greek a- (without) + pathos (emotion). Other words often pass as synonyms, or are considered at least similar, such as: detachment, disinterest, disregard, doldrums, impassiveness, indifference, insensibility, lassitude, lethargy, listlessness, nonchalance, torpor, and others.
Philophobia
Philophobia is defined as the abnormal, persistent and unwarranted fear of falling in love. The word is derived from Greek philia (love) + phovos (fear). The symptoms are very irregular and vary from person to person. These include sweating, nausea, rapid breathing, shortness of breath, feelings of dread and extreme fear of not being able to live up to promises.
