This guy was in the middle of a moment, he stood very still for quite some time, he wasn't on the phone, didn't seem to waiting for anyone or anything. It reminded of why I had to stop wearing suits.

Bank restriction note
Mock banknote by George Cruikshank (1792-1878), UK, 1819
In 1818 while walking down Ludgate Hill in London, George Cruikshank saw two women hanging from the gallows for forging banknotes. Cruikshank's response was a gruesome parody of a banknote showing Britannia devouring infants and the pound symbol as the hangman's noose, while the cashier's signature is replaced by 'J[ack] Ketch', a notoriously incompetent executioner of the 17th century. Cruikshank and his publisher earned about £700, a fortune at the time, from this venture.

Part of I object: Ian Hislop's search for dissent
(September 2018 – January 2019)
A wide variety of objects are on display in the exhibition – from graffiti on a Babylonian brick to a banknote with hidden rude words, from satirical Turkish shadow puppets to a recently acquired ‘pussy’ hat worn on a women’s march. See what tales these objects tell – sometimes deadly serious, often humorous, always with conviction. Unlock the messages and symbols these people used, and get closer to understanding them...
This history in 100(ish) objects shows that people have always challenged and undermined orthodox views in order to enable change. They even did so despite the establishment usually taking a pretty dim view – for most of history you could expect a gruesome punishment, up to and including death, for this kind of subversive behaviour. This suggests that maybe we are programmed to dissent – it’s just part of who we are. Ultimately, the exhibition will show that questioning authority, registering protest and generally objecting are an integral part of what makes us human.

Imagine that the blue ball in the Earth and imagine that Roxy is some giant space creature that goes from solar system to solar system devouring planets.
That's what Roxy's imagining. Honest, I can see it in her eyes.
Finished this a while ago but never had the chance to post it. The poem is 'A Memory Of the Players In a Mirror at Midnight' by James Joyce.
They mouth love's language. Gnash
The thirteen teeth
Your lean jaws grin with. Lash
Your itch and quailing, nude greed of the flesh.
Love’s breath in you is stale, worded or sung,
As sour as cat's breath,
Harsh of tongue.
This grey that stares
Lies not, stark skin and bone.
Leave greasy lips their kissing. None
Will choose her what you see to mouth upon.
Dire hunger holds his hour.
Pluck forth your heart, saltblood, a fruit of tears:
Pluck and devour!

The artist William Webster Hawkins made this sketch of himself in a room at Abbott's accommodation house, Featherston (in the Wairarapa) around 1867. He notes that he would have been ‘devoured alive’ had he not been quick in dressing, and vows ‘not to stay there the night again if I can help it’.

Although they are much smaller than their larger cousins, these Devourers drink the fluids from their victims.

Maple Mountains (Czech and Slovak: Javorníky) is a mountain range of the Slovak-Moravian Carpathians that forms part of the border between the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Javorníky jsou geomorfologický celek na hranicích Moravy a Slovenska v geomorfologické oblasti Slovensko-moravské Karpaty. Částečně odlesněný členitý hřbet se větví na zalesněné rozsochy. Táhnou se od Lyského průsmyku na jihozápadě po Makovský průsmyk na severovýchodě v délce cca 30 km.
A demonic aberration created from necromantic energy in the depths of the abyss. They steal the corpses of their victims, trapping them in their own body, and then feed off their souls to fuel further rampages.
I stirred this spider into activity by using the flash early in the morning. I think it is devouring parts of its own web to reclaim the energy to live another day.
I hope it doesn't rain the whole day, I want to get a proper DSLR macro shot of this beasty.

Kind of a zombie but not quite, a Devourer is to a zombie what a tyrannosaurus rex is to a chicken. Formerly a mass murderer in life, a Devourer lives to do nothing more than absorb the souls of the living, thus increasing its own strength. At their weakest, Devourers are the size of humans, with reaching entrails that suck blood. But soon after, they grow to reach ten feet in size, and become like this one - capable of trapping the souls of their victims within their belly cavity. But given enough time, they become truly titanic, and impale multiple souls on their claws. Devourers also retain the intelligence they had in life, making them truly dangerous opponents.

Awwww, it's a cute widdle brain! Just look at it-AUUUUUUUUUGH!
Intellect Devourers are a particularly nasty kind of monster from the very early beginnings of D&D. They feed off mental energy, and are quite capable of leaping inside somebody's head, eating their brains, and becoming that person's new brains. They are smart, too. So smart, that somebody YOU know might be an intellect Devourer in disguise! Yes, really. And it could be in your house, too. Just waiting. For you to let down your guard. Any...second...now...
