Dr appt today was not the best but could have been worse.
*Side note info is just to record the date as time passes things get forgotten.
Some examples of cup and canal rock art - for example from Portugal and France, show that certain stations kept their meaning into the iron age and even beyond, and there are some stations that hint at mesolitic dates (see below for earliest and latest potentials).
Despite these potential chronology extremes, cups and canals tend to bridge the late neolithic with the early bronze age, and can have both local expressions and surprisingly wide pan continental themes.
Canals can form crosses, enclosed circles, circles with openings, junctions, webs and cascades of linked cups. In Portugal and parts of northern Spain there are late examples where field systems seem to cluster around schematic castros (Flickr's Piasa has some stunning shots) and simplified schematic representations of people and place may be part of their pasts.
In cup and canal petroglyphs, the term anthropomorph simply categorise a group of cups and canals as looking like human forms. The desire to put styles of petroglyhs into groups and under headings is very human.
From this crouched angle these cups and canals can divide into 'three' figures and are often placed in the category of anthropomorph: torso - no obvious arms, male sex like Toulouse Lautrec, feet bigger than head or feet missing, a hair-do from the futuristic 1960s and so on.
Here a local schematic depiction using the protocols of cup and canal that ends up looking even slightly like a person or 'family unit' will be enclosed into a category and it is perhaps important to keep an open mind and notice a single cup to the left of the image and all of the elements that do not point to anthropomorphic narrative as well as those elements that do.
When learning to draw, our youngest children draw lines between dots to create assemblies and new form. This is not the language of cup and canal stations.
Not far from this fine station can be found a station of painted rock art that also features some of the line language of the above station, but here with obvious arms present and free from any anthropomorphic doubts (see below). Although this station would seem to help with interpretation, I have some doubts that it is authentic (see associated texts).

La iglesia de San Juan Bautista en Villanueva de la Nía en Cantabria (Spain), es de estilo románico y fue construida en el siglo XII.
Los canecillos del ábside son de gran interés iconográfico, presentando escenas eróticas y zoomorfas, ejecutados por la misma escuela de la colegiata de San Pedro de Cervatos.
Existe una necrópolis en las cercanías, posiblemente de los siglos X y XI, con sepulturas antropomorfas excavadas en la roca.

The church of San Juan Bautista in Villanueva de la Nía in Cantabria (Spain) is in the Romanesque style and was built in the 12th century.
The corbels of the apse are of great iconographic interest, presenting erotic and zoomorphic scenes, executed by the same school of the collegiate church of San Pedro de Cervatos.
There is a necropolis nearby, possibly from the 10th and 11th centuries, with anthropomorphic graves carved out of the rock.

This damselfly looks anthropomorphic to me because of the way its legs are positioned! It looks like it has one arm on the table and the other on its hip, and it's just about to tell a story. Or maybe I have too much of an active imagination! ;)

Peter Rabbit is a fictional anthropomorphic character in various children's stories by Beatrix Potter. He first appeared in The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902, and subsequently in five more books between 1904 and 1912. The rabbits in Potter's stories are anthropomorphic and wear human clothes; Peter wears a jacket and shoes. Peter, his mother, Mrs. Josephine Rabbit, and his sisters, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail live in a rabbit hole that has a human kitchen, human furniture, and a shop where Mrs. Rabbit sells various items. Peter's relatives are Cousin Benjamin Bunny and Benjamin's father Mr. Benjamin Bunny.
Peter Rabbit was named after a pet rabbit Beatrix Potter had as a child called Peter Piper. The first Peter Rabbit story, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was originally created in 1893 as a letter to Noel Moore, the five-year-old son of Potter's former governess, Annie Moore. The boy was ill, and Potter wrote him a picture and story letter to help him pass the time and to cheer him up.
Austrian Sculpture Park Premstätten near Graz, Austria
When sculpture and nature come together, they react to each other: an interrelationship develops that tells a story over time and constantly changes. The garden as man-made and yet constantly growing nature corresponds in the Austrian Sculpture Park in particular to the weather-exposed sculptures that blend in with the landscape or react to it. The vocabulary of contemporary sculpture ranges from abstract sculpture to everyday objects, from anthropomorphic figurations to everyday objects. The dialogue between location and sculpture is intended to make this vocabulary visible, i.e. to make statements about art, but also about society, its conflicts and dreams, and to create spaces for encounters.
Mario Terzic's ever-growing ark of living trees is the epitome of conflict and harmony between nature and sculpture. Oswald Oberhuber's sculpture on the wall points out that, since Minimal Art, every sculpture can not only stand on the floor, but can also hang on the wall, so that sculpture is also in dialogue with the picture. The dialogue inherent in art, e.g. B. between image and space, can also be expanded through a dialogue between forms of art and nature, as shown by the juxtaposition of the sculptures by Fritz Hartlauer and Jörg Schlick, which deal with rules of form, algorithms and growth. The sculptures by Christa Sommerer and Michael Kienzer also belong to this category. Works by so-called old masters can be found on a stepped landscape facing the sky, which acts as a pantheon. This power of place also supports the importance of Heimo Zobernig's tower at the entrance to the Austrian Sculpture Park or Susana Solano's "Wheel" sculpture. The same applies to Werner Reiterer's sculpture, which inflates and collapses in a hollow, Hans Kupelwieser's cushion placed between hedges, or Peter Weibel's work, which makes it possible to experience the globe as a suitcase.
Moving machines such as cars (Erwin Wurm), ships (Michael Schuster), sails (Martin Walde), airplanes (Nancy Rubins) or trains (Hans Hollein) tell of the fate of the apparatuses, of failure and standstill, social and technical dreams and transform the landscape in a sea or an airport. Correspondingly, Heinz Gappmayr's references to "things that are not yet visible" and "no longer visible" depending on the position of the viewer, Yoko Ono's cross to be nailed, the dancing trees by Timm Ulrichs and the water sculpture by Jeppe Hein increase the relationship between the visitor and artwork. The Austrian Sculpture Park is used as a platform to open up a horizon of dialogue with contemporary sculpture and to be able to better understand its language.

A coffin lid, or alternatively a mummy board, has been found in the vicinity of Theba with nine small shabti statues. The mummy boards were corpse-shaped wooden boards evolved from the lids of the coffins, placed on top of the mummy.
The objects were part of the Egyptian Khedive ruler's donation to the Russian emperor in the 1890s, 10 of which were further donated to the Helsinki Historical Museum in 1895. The cover of the anthropomorphic or human-shaped coffin has a deceased resting with its arms crossed next to it, as well as the sacred ibis, scarabs, priests, and nine rows of hieroglyphs.

This anthropomorphic coffin belonged to an unknown person, probably a woman. The coffin and the mummy wrapped in bandages of varying widths probably originate from the Late Period, when the sophistication of mummification declined remarkably compared to the preceding Third Intermediate Period, which marks the high point of mummification.
During the Late Period, a typical modest funeral complement included the following items: an anthropomorphic inner coffin, a rectangular outer qrsw coffin, a shabti box containing shabti statuettes, four canopic jars, and occasionally a box for holding them, a wooden stela, a wood sculpture of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris and possibly a number of pottery jars and other objects. However, the Late Period saw the gradual disappearance of most everyday objects from burial chambers.

A squabble at Malibu Lagoon
On first observation one might attribute this confrontation to a territorial dispute, competition for food, some kind of courting joust or ritual, or maybe just establishing a pecking order. After observing for a while, however, I'll go with the more anthropomorphic explanation that the bird on the right is just a jerk. He was going from bird to bird, "attacking" them without apparent provocation, didn't seem to care if the targeted birds left the immediate area or not. At least the bird he picked on this time didn't agree to give up his spot as easily as most others.

The authority at the left is profoundly agitated - so much so that he has become all mouth. The three "recruits" at the right stand petrified. There also appears to be a tall, gaunt figure, between authority and recruits, who is eyeballing Mr. Authority with great alarm. Basic training, anyone? Or perhaps just a meaningful exchange of views between asymmetrically positioned players in the social order?

Martin the Warrior, from Redwall, by Brian Jacques.
I made this Moc as a going-away-present to my little brother, who will be going away to college soon. He always liked Redwall (and so did I a long time ago) so I made him the main character of the series, Martin. Best of luck to you, little guy! And you too, brother!

Prompt:
The image presents a satirical, anthropomorphic depiction of a thin, scruffy rat-like creature engaged in hanging laundry. The scene is set against a backdrop of a desolate, possibly post-apocalyptic, environment.
The creature stands on a littered ground, strewn with discarded clothing, empty cans, and debris. He wears a captain's hat, denim shorts, and a beaded necklace. His exaggeratedly lanky frame and hunched posture suggest poverty or hardship. He holds a cigarette and is meticulously hanging items of clothing on a makeshift clothesline strung between a wooden post and a broken piece of furniture or structure. The clothes on the line include pants, shirts, and underwear, varying in color and condition.
A large wicker basket overflowing with more clothes sits on the ground, balanced precariously on what looks like a broken shopping cart frame. The overall ambiance of the image is gritty and humorous, blending elements of social commentary with fantastical character design. The attention to detail, especially in the creature's features and the textures of the clothing and debris, enhances the realistic impression despite the absurdity of the scene. The background includes a glimpse of what might be a damaged stone wall and a hazy, indistinct horizon, suggesting a barren landscape.
This massive anthropomorphic sarcophagus was discovered in the Valley of the Queens. Its owner was a woman whose name remains unknown.
The sarcophagus consists of a trough and a lid, which are fragmented due to the action of tomb raiders. On the lid, cleaved in two, is a depiction of the mummified deceased. On the surface of her wig, there are traces of the original painting.

On September 11, the 14th Annual OFFCenter Folk Art Festival was held in Robinson Park {at 8th + Central} in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. This was my first contact with the OFFCenter Community Arts Project. The mission of this non-profit is to promote positive self-identity and resilience through art making in a safe environment designed for creative social interaction.
The time was approaching for the folk art parade to begin; an end-of-summer celebration to encircle the park several times. People were finding their places in the parade queue, and making final decisions about costumes to wear. The OFFCenter organization provided an ample supply of imaginative papier-mâché masks, headpieces and costumes made out of recycled materials for anyone who wanted to dress up and join the fun-spirited parade.
It was at this point that I noticed a fellow trying on an intriguing headpiece from an enormous pile of zany and imaginative items created by OFFCenter. The backside of the papier-mâché object was rounded where it rested on the man’s shoulders. It had a long neck, and looked like a sitar. I walked closer for a better view.
I observed the man watching the swirl of costumed people, some who were dancing to music, others were finding their places in the parade line. He decided on where to stand in the parade line. Finally when I was close enough to speak, I complimented his choice of a mask-hat.
Here we meet Steve, my stranger 96/100. He is wearing an anthropomorphic papier-mâché folk guitar mask. I’ve searched through the 100 Strangers group archives to discover if a subject has been photographed with his head inside a guitar. I feel confident about being “semi-exact” (to quote The Donald) that I’ve crossed the finish line first on this one.
We shook hands at our mutual introduction. I explained the thrust of the 100 Strangers project and invited him to participate. Steve replied with a critical, “OK – YES!” He had a very strong desire to be photographed for a portrait with this costume. He very much wanted me to email my images of him in but a few short days.
“I didn’t make this [headpiece]. It amuses me, though,” said Steve. “When I tried it on, it was comfortable. I’m going to wear it for the parade.”
I used my reflector to brighten the parts of his face revealed through the guitar cavity, as well as the literal face of the guitar. After my first shot, Steve offered to remove his eyeglasses. He told me that he had been an optician for more than twenty years. Then he made a startling confession.
“Not long ago, I had a breakdown. I withdrew from people.” He said. “I’ve made a lot of progress. It’s not easy for me to be here, around this crowd. Writing has been my most effective form of therapy….I go to weekly OFFCenter writing workshops. They are helping me overcome my social phobia. I’m comfortable there, and the groups are small. I thought today might be a good next step for me.”
While Steve and I were becoming acquainted and I was photographing him, a woman joined us in a way that I would characterize as hovering. About her, Steve said, “I’m with her, but not with her.” He didn’t reveal their precise relation to each other. Quite possibly, she was a member of a support group with the same phobias, or perhaps his personal therapist. She had little to say other than declining my request for helping to hold my reflector, which would have allowed me full use of two hands on my camera while making Steve’s portraits.
From what I have read, people living with social anxiety disorders typically experience significant emotional distress in situations where they may be: introduced to other people, teased or criticized, the center of attention, watched while doing something, engaged in social encounters especially with strangers. Physiological manifestations that accompany social anxiety may include feelings of intense fear, heart racing, blushing or turning red, sweating excessively, experiencing dry throat and mouth, trembling, swallowing with difficulty, and twitching muscles. Constant, intense anxiety that does not go away is the most common feature.
I congratulated Steve for participating in the noisy, stimulating event; for speaking with me, a stranger; for letting me photograph him. Stating the obvious, I pointed out that he had chosen an appealing, fun-looking costume. I asked if he would be able to enjoy spectators staring at and enjoying him in the costume as he walks the parade route.
“Right now, I’m not feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated. I don’t feel like people are judging me. I know they are enjoying this curiosity on my head!”
We shared a few more moments remarking on the buoyancy of the festival-goers around us. Before parting, Steve revealed one last thing to me. Underneath the guitar headpiece he is completely bald.

Neolithic schematic petroglyphs
4,800 ybp - Neolithic final.
The small Neolithic 'menhir' is found to the left of the entrance to the extraordinary Prieuré de Serrabona : the menhir-stèle du Mas Nou. The Priory is at the top of another piedmont from the Canigou massif in the Pyrénées-Orientales. The priory is whispering with serious cameras from all over the world, drawn to attention and detail by the stunning light and extraordinary Roman chapiteaux. (Here 'Roman' is not Roman empire - just an equivalent of Norman). The local stone of the menhir and priory is schist - reflective and grained like petrified wood. The menhir's stone is 1.3m long and 0.4m wide.
The image is clearly anthropomorphic. There may be a space for large eyes and a tall head piece. Assuring that you can be seen from afar across a valley - standing out from long grass; and the pleasure of a parade or ritual can all lead to hyperbolic, exaggerated ornaments. With a heart shaped head - the top half may be the 'hat' that is the point of attachment for a colorful 'stem' dress rising to a ball towards the top of the image. Similar exaggerated silhouettes can be found in the Alpes Maritime pétroglyphes and again one must see the advantages of being seen at distance in a world free from most predators.
There is an alternative interpretation of the lines that links to schematic figures found in Spain. Here the upper 'ball' is the head followed by a long neck and a thorax which is above the legs drawn with the width of two lines. With this interpretation the arms are inside the thorax and then fall down the body. For the future, I shall try and find the Ibérique schematic so that I can post a comparison.
Benkiman is an anthropomorphic urinal with poo on his head.
There really should be no further information needed but...
Benkiman is capable of rolling his opponents up into little spheres and flushing them... er... down himself.
In a match, Benkiman flushed Kinnikuman, but Kinnikuman managed to escape this fate and defeat Benkiman by clogging him up with his wrestling trunks.
Yep. Nooooobody wants a match with Benkiman.

Some dumb anthropomorphic people think that as Mr Ruddock putting fertiliser factory waste in their children must be a good idea or the people at the Chemical Plot House wouldn't have persuaded him to do it, so it must be good to fluoridate your horse too.
Now watch out.
Beware of the truth as it really can make life rather difficult.
In this case, it's off to the river every day with a bowser if you're wrong.
Ready? So, then, some fluoridated horse links:
