skeletons & bones & things

whaaa bam! a new project has begun. i have well over 100 "antique" photos lying around that i've been collecting (damn you thank you ebay). it became quite unhealthy the amount of time i spent perusing the internet... and accidently buying things (... yes. accidently. bidding on items is a whole new world to me).

i once saw a snippet of an artist's work who, jokingly (i believe), drew a cartoon skeleton over an old black & white photo of a woman. so i decided that i'd give it a try & take it a step further. how interesting would it be to look at an entire wall of fairly anatomically correct skeletons & organs as well as monsters drawn over antique photos? i still have some experimenting to do, but here's what i've got so far:

  1. Hi. I don't know you, actually, I've just heard Nathanael talk about you, and then Twitter suggested you, so I checked out your blog. Those are seriously, seriously cool! I really love the tentacles waving at the castle. Very awesome!
