So many are so gorgeous, but the birds in the hand affected me in the eeriest way.

I spammed a shitload of those to AJ as inspiration for her writing and because she appreciates morbid beauty. :-)

YAY!

You should click on the link and check out her watercolors. Completely different from her digital collage work.

Didn't do much for me. I'm not that fond of watercolors.

Something about that particular hand and the birds gave me an eerie feeling.

I love them all, but I'm especially fond of the violin playing gif and the face painting.

Also, I LOVE the ossuary pictures. When life gives you plagues, improve your architecture.

Ha ha ha ha!!! Yes.

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the collection!

I have a degree in anthropology, so have spent a truly horrifying amount of time staring at bones. Especially skulls. You can tell so much about a person from just their skull...

...the picture where the woman is looking into the broken mirror being held up by a skeleton? It's amusing because that is a male skull... I wonder if the photographer knew that...

Well, she has other poses where she's interacting with the skeleton, so he probably knew. Avedon was an amazing photographer.

random titbit you may already know--the French resistance met in the Paris catacombs because the Germans were too freaked out to go in there.

also, titbit is not a typo! I'm bringing it back, man.

I bought the Kermit t-shirt BECAUSE. *Squee*

omfg the CROCHETED lab is just awesome!!! I also loved the drawings of the open torsos with shells and fishes and butterflies emerging.

the plastic cutlery is also super!

Is it weird that I'm thinking the little skull & crossbone sugars would make super holiday gifts?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2013-08-28 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That's really weird, considering, well, everything.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2013-08-28 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2013-08-28 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hurray! So happy you enjoyed the collection!

Nope. If I didn't like 'em, I wouldn'ta posted 'em.

I know, right?

I remember watching a show on the history channel called the XY factor about different sexual attitudes. According to the show, many French resistance soldiers escaped through brothels as well because the Germans would not interrupt, but would wait for them to finish. Granted, they didn't give numbers about how many people escaped this way, but apparently it was enough to be a known thing worth trying.
