People withered with age, unflattering nudity, creatures in various stages of decay…and the occasional heads on sticks.

This color scheme actually reminds me of my wardrobe as a child of the 80′s…before I wore more dark apparel than any human reasonably should.

And speaking of the 80′s, be sure to explore the closeups in Back to Basics to remember our prized devices of yesteryear.

He also has other lovely illustrations, often a tad grim and melancholy.

If I were a few inches tall, this would be my preferred mode of transportation.

Amazing doll concept by Ali Gulec:

These life-like Beavis and Butt-Head statues having been making the Internet rounds as well. Wonderful job crafting a photorealistic and rather horrifying vision of these two, Kevin Kirkpatrick. See a few more shots here.

Why I love being an introvert:

On a related note, I think this would make great club wear for introverts. It really sends the right message if one is not in the mood for human interaction: Come one step closer and I will BITE you!

Finally, the trendy luxury toward which I harbor an extreme distaste finds a home in serial killer apparel. THIS, I like.

I’m with you, Neil!

Fatal Attraction had NOTHING on this:

Bear with me for a moment of extreme adorableness…

And speaking of cats, take a look at what I always pretty much assumed would be my own future (everybody knows it’s not official until facebook says so…this is the real deal):

Ohhhh-kay, so I’ll admit that I only envision myself in a relationship with one or two cats. I’m about quality, not quantity.

Now we come to the portion of this blog post where I try to avoid making a pun about something being “fishy” here…

Usually at least one of my Desktop Goodies will launch me into utter confusion. Today’s baffling example (caption, anyone?):

…and by “Projection Equipment” they mean her brassiere:

Ladies, I’ll leave you with this romantic gift idea: raw meat.

Here is how these designs translate into floor and wall decor…

These should also be made in Cthulu area rugs for home use.

There is also a Tom Servo silver necklace in the shop at the moment:

Color schemes and themes reflect the four temperaments: sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic (named after the ancient theory of bodily humors).

My favorite creatures in this beastiary are the Batterflies:

I really enjoy his black and white work…

If your favorites sites have gone dark today, consider watching this informative video:

I got that video from a wonderful post on Open Culture, which nicely sums up the problem for those who haven’t heard about it:

Backed by the Motion Picture Association of America, SOPA is designed to debilitate and effectively shut down foreign-based websites that sell pirated movies, music and other goods. That all sounds fine on the face of things. But the legislation, if enacted, would carry with it a series of unexpected consequences that could change the internet as we know it. Among other things, the law could be used to shut down American sites that unwittingly host or link to illegal content — and without giving the sites due process, a real day in court. Big sites like YouTube and Twitter could fall under pressure, and so could countless small sites. Needless to say, that could have a serious chilling effect on the openness of the web and free speech.

Please take a moment to sign this petition.

Kudos to Wikipedia and the other major sites going dark today in protest (I wish facebook had taken action and gone offline with an informative message about the issue…sadly, that probably would have gotten FAR more people to pay attention).
