The Seven Deadly Sinners

Cute Baby Hyena!

My piece for the Kute show at Kuhlman. I'll tell you what's kuter than a baby Krampus, and that would be a baby hyena.

Age-Maps

Kamala and Ian sent along a link to the site of photographer Bobby Neel Adams; there's some amazing work here. My favorites are the Age-Maps, the Family Tree and Couples, but it's all worth a look.

Ever cute (er, kute)!

This is for the upcoming show at Kulman in Seattle, Kute with a K, opening Friday, October 12. What could be kuter than a baby Krampus? A baby Santa Clops maybe.

Devil Cocktails

Since we seem to be going with a satanic theme around here just lately, I thought I'd dig up a page from a proposed book about Old Toast that I was working on last year.

For your entertainment, a couple of deliciously devilish cocktails!

The Art of Automata

Brides, Satan, Tiger Lily

Sometimes ad banners really add to the blog reading experience. I particularly liked this juxtaposition, over on our pal 14's site. Besides, I just love this painting of Bob Geldof...and maybe that granny has something. In the man's own words:

I saw a raw white angel executing loop-de-loops in the sky
Drawing lazy spirals with his slipstream smoke as he silently
Passed us by
But his halo got too heavy so he hung it down around his waist
Doing halo hula-hoops, executing loop-de-loops takes a lot of
Skill and bad taste
Now the angel and me obviously we're like that
Me and the devil we get it on like a house on fire

One Fine Day in the Disenchanted Forest

Horror Heads!

I know I think about Halloween more than your average person, so imagine my delight at spotting a whole rack of these freaky images at the store earlier today. Many Dribbling Eyeballs Girl, Explosion Face Girl, and Looked Too Long at an Eclipse Girl are my new buddies. I had to buy all of the delicious products on display, they called to me.

It's missing a tuba, but there is a man who has a voice deep like a tuba. Just for Filbrandt.
