Cannot type/talk due to severe illness (all words courtesy of voice software or kind typing helpers)…I read and appreciate all comments…Apologies for not being able to respond.

God, is that you?

No wait, is that you, God?

Not like this.

I’m not sure if this gaping chasm counts as a “neckline.”

The single best, or maybe worst, job in the world.

Now, this is some food I could eat. Does anyone have a copy of this?

Keep in mind they use the word “enjoy” in the broadest possible sense.

This fellow is very open minded…

And let that be a reminder to stay open-minded about the amorous preferences of others.

What to post, what to post? Chuck Hodi’s subjects are so varied, though within a dark, and by his own admission, lowbrow realm.

Dana found us one that I find especially fun today. This young artist debuted this particular display at Monsterpalooza, a Hollywood SFX and Monster expo, this past weekend. His VooDoo Witch Doctor is a fun tip of the pith helmet to Disney and the adventure serials of the 1930′s. And check out that 7 foot tall Shock Monster and Frankenstein Monster he did as well. I want this in my Tiki room!

For you ladies and dapper gents who wish to sport such frilly finery while driven by culinary pursuits, Suburban50s has got you “covered!”

Faith April’s designs stem from memories of her grandmother, who wore aprons to protect her dresses. She likes to incorporate Mexican, Rockabilly and Retro themes. She has over 90 to choose.

This little Proxy Poster had too many favourite selections to whittle down, but you can check them all out at:

Monsters painted onto Thrift Shop paintings

Ever wonder if the countless landscapes and poorly painted cast-off paintings that seem to find their way to thrift shops might actually have a chance at redemption and life? Two such artists, Chris McMahon and Thryza Segal, have done just that.
