When a family commissioned architect Eric Clough to design their 5th Avenue Apartment, they got more than they bargained for- a home, and a whimsical, gorgeous, detail-filled mystery.

I really enjoyed listening to this clip; I think you could apply most of the stuff he’s talking about to any of the arts.

Real Life’s been chewing up my time, my sanity, and all that fun stuff, as RL usually does; but the internet has not forgotten me. Case in point; an online friend who goes by the nickname of MuseHick on Whitechapel, who spotlighted my art here:

Got my homework done! HAH! It took some doing, but M1k3y got my stuff.
in addition; there’s also a few other pictures out there. Like these ones:
My E-house is still something of a disaster area (Hey, it matches IRL. I’m going for a THEME here).

It’s a bit old, but I do love this piece, and would eat salad if it came in this form more often. Check it out; it’s an Alien Salad!

I haven’t seen much to make me giggle and laugh like a small child lately; but this would be one thing. Light up wallpaper. Whimsical, useful, and just plain damn fun. I can’t wait to hear more.

NPR has an article on the fictional cannibal and serial killer, Hannibal Lecter HERE, showing that our culture’s fascination with the character hasn’t ended a great many years after the creation of the character. Nothing new, just pointing out the character was based on the real deal, and that serial killers and other ’societal monsters’ are often quite adept at being charming, showing the world not the bloodthirsty raving maniac, but a more charming face.

Well. Warren’s made a 4am I can’t stop listening to. You can snatch it over here. I recommend the newest one, vehemently, and have proceeded to spam the greatness of the 4am to all my friends, if I hadn’t previously told them about it.
There’s just something nice about having somewhat mellancholic music with a nice beat to draw to, and the lyrics are good too.
I highly doubt I’ll be going to bed any time soon; and I can only hope my scanner survives the coming weeks to share the artwork; as the bugger’s been showing signs of slowing down and being a vexing piece of machinery.

Kerri Finlayson was one of my teachers at NCMC; and taught the first class I took there when I was a wee, dual-enrolled highschooler. She’s also one of the most intelligent people I have met, and is very kind, and thoughtful.
Right now she’s biking across Africa on a trip from Jan 12- May 10.
Check out her blog:

Lots of pictures, including pictures of camels (living and dead). Huzzah, Camels!

Inspird by http://porkshanks.deviantart.com/, the previously mentioned keyboard art, Giger and Grinding.be, I’ve started modding some of my own stuff around the house with what I have, adding my own twist to the aesthetic. Biomorphic necromantic dystopian swag, anyone? I have no idea what to call it, but I’m having quite a bit of fun.
Here’s a quick, and rather crappy photo of the modded mic of the headset of this project; gesso’d, painted, sealed, wrapped with wire and bone beads.
