And here's the Cthulhu figure for Wizkids' new game, HorrorClix. The wings make him nearly as tall as The Spectre, and he's hefty, but mostly he's just creepy.

Cooper’s hawk

the tides rush in

blue, brown,

frothing white

haggard grey

from all sides

devouring

any vestige of land

in their single minded hunger

for cleansing

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.

sucker for exposure

Skeleton Shrimps devouring a fish fry, Rye Pier, night dive.

Little Chi is scared.

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’.

At the Main Exhibit Level

The day after my birthday, I went down to Windsor Terrace to see a guy about a camera. Our meeting was around the corner from my brother's place, so I let my brother know that I might be by to visit and fling the nephews around a little bit.

 

When I arrived, my sister-in-law Jane surprised me with a cake for the occasion, and it tickled me as much as the wee ones. Zombies have been a motif with young Rohan, who is getting on six-and-a-half I believe, ever since he was tiny; when he was just learning to speak I taught him to defend himself if someone tried to eat his brain, and to say "Hi, I'm Johnny Cash" (this latter is not going to be of much use in the Zombie Apocalypse, but is sure to have rewards of its own). He has never forgotten either one. His younger brother Kai never experienced a life without brain-eating family moments, and he accepts it as natural.

 

A couple of years ago Jane made a rocket-ship cake for my birthday, and we met in Prospect Park to devour it. The day was lovely, the kids joyous, the sun kind. We forgot to bring utensils, so after a few moments to check and make sure we were still grownups, we tore in with our hands and scarfed down great chunks of cake, making a happy tasty mess. That's probably my favorite way to eat cake, though it doesn't come up very much.

 

I manage to get a quick shot of this one before the ravening hordes of both nephews descend on it.

I don't know what we were thinking, devouring something so large, but it was a great pot o' gold at the end of the long journey to the airport. The souvlaki plates looked 10x better, though.

 

PS. Please don't show my nutritionist this photo. It's our little secret. :) //

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.
