The semi-sprawling Adventures of a Culturally Hegemonic Individualist-Imperialist and Anti-Idiotarian Functional-Structuralist, choking on the toxic-grade Smug emitted by the self-satisfied lotus-eating, Prius-driving, floppy-hat wearing, Lizadroid-Leftbat Califorganic Tofuistas. ~ With Guns, more Guns, Motorcycles, Snorkeling, and some Home-Improvement stuff.~
Let's get down to basics. The reason your pistol is so eye-catching is: A) It has compound curves, just like the human body; B) It has intricate surface detailing that imitates shapes found in nature; and C) It has lovely rosewood grips that are almost perfectly color-coordinated to the buff finish of its metal parts.
All these attributes make it more organic, more like an extension of the natural world than of the industrial one. More fractal art than mechanical implement.
The same way the sound of a Harley's motor attracts one's attention with its primeval cadence. Except that your Ed Brown is way better than any stoopid Harley….

It's surreal already! I darkened the background to make the foreground pop a bit, maybe I'll blur it too…

Be-yoo-ti-ful!
Hi Kevin – yes indeed, I won't have much else to bring!
That is mighty pretty. You ARE bringing it to the GBR this year, yes?
Ted, join us!!
Man, that's sweet.
One of the things that attracts me to it is it's such a non Military-looking gun. Maybe I'm wrong but it strikes me as being very much a Civilian arm.
Not a huge 1911 fan here, but I can't help thinking that that is a very pretty gun.
