Over the weekend Scary Hubby and I went to an art show in Denver of his childhood friend Karl Christian Krumpholz. He is primarily the writer/artist of such comics as Angst Boy Comics, Sturm und Drang, Schadenfreude and Byron. He also does pen and ink artwork that is absolutely amazing. Karl has a collection of famous people that he has brilliantly zombiefied such as Frank Sinatra and Humphrey Bogart shown below. We are actually going to purchase one of his other art pieces that was originally created as one of the Byron covers that we fell in love with. He is an extremely talented artist that deserves your attention.
In honor of all of the snow we’ve been getting and and apparently everyone else, I am posting this skull made out of snow. It was created by Paul Overton of Dudecraft and Noah Scalin from Skull-A-Day. You can read more about how they did it and see pictures of the skull as it formed here. Awesome job guys! Could you come over and build one in my front yard, please?
It actually takes very little in life to make me happy. Unfortunately, I do have expensive taste and those items make me very happy. Once in a great while I come across something that I expect to be expensive and I am happy to see that it isn’t that bad. In those cases I usually buy the item immediately thinking I’m getting a great deal. Scary Hubby does not always agree. He always says that just because it’s not expensive doesn’t mean we need it. He reacted that way when I received this Skullstar throw in the mail the other day. “Don’t you have enough blankets with skulls on them?” I of course responded that this is a throw and not a blanket. We don’t have any throws with skulls on them. “Aren’t they the same thing?” “Nope. Blankets are for your bed and throws are for the sofa when you get a chill.” He couldn’t realistically argue that point, so he gave up and walked away. Kill ‘em with logic I always say. Plus, he knows better than to argue with me.
So, I came across this Raven Lunatic t-shirt a while ago and kept putting off writing about it. Why, you ask? Well, for some reason I just don’t have anything to say about it. I really like it and love the reactions when I wear it, but for once I have nothing to write. I know, who’d a thought it was possible. Scary Hubby wonders sometimes if there is anything in this world that I don’t have a lot to say about. Well, here it is. For some reason it leaves me tongue tied and speechless. Obviously I could make some witty remark about Edgar Allan Poe, but that just makes me think of my cat Edgar and then that in turn makes me think of his sister Agatha and then I can’t get my brain to work. I thought it was the perfect one to post today since I don’t have anything to say about anything. My whole focus is on my sweet kitty Agatha at the moment who appears to have let us know that it is time. If you’ve been keeping up with my posts then you’ll know what that means. If you haven’t, well WTF?
“Are you tired? Run-down? Listless? Do you poop out at parties? Are you unpopular? The answer to all your problems is in this little bottle.” Well, maybe for Lucy, but not the modern woman or man. I love the Vitameatavegamin episode of I Love Lucy. For some reason I thought of it when I came across this Voodoo Ritual Kit. I know, strange connection. A reader actually sent me the link to this great Folk Art site and that was where I came across it. You can get them for all sorts of things like Love & Passion, Fertility and Get That Job, but the one that caught my eye was the Unhexing kit. That’s what made me think of the episode. Granted, I often find connections in my every day life to Lucy episodes, but that’s neither here nor there. I just thought that if you were feeling these things maybe you were hexed by someone and are finding you need to get yourself unhexed. So, maybe the answer to all of your problems are in this little box. For $59.00 (ouch!) you can once again be awake, alert, popular and ready to party. Well, if you have any money left afterwards, you might. The kit comes complete with instructions, coffin box, Voodoo doll, candle, potion oil, mini Gris-Gris (what’s that?), parchment paper, and incense. It may do the same as Vitameatavegamin, but I wouldn’t get too excited about the drunk part unless you add some liquor to the kit.
Or not. These videos have been going around the internet in different forms for quite a while now. Someone sent this to me yesterday and I do hope they sent it because it was funny and not because they were scared by it. I get really irritated by these videos, but for some reason this one made me laugh and I really needed a laugh. I thought I would share it with you. Either it will scare you which obviously means you’re stupid or it’ll make you laugh which means we are of like minds. Either way be sure to watch the whole thing.
When that time comes for you to go into the abyss do you really want just a plain old coffin? No? Do you want to go out in style? Maybe in something that shows off your hobby? Well, the Ga coffin carpenters of Ghana have the coffin for you.
In traditional Ga culture you are buried in a coffin that reflects how you earned your living and lived your life. Why stop there? Let your imagination go crazy. You could be buried in beer bottle shaped coffin, a teddy bear, a Mercedes or even a airplane shaped coffin. A 6′ Ga coffin starts at about $1500, so it’s really not a bad deal for one made just for you. They take about 3 months to make depending on the difficulty of the design, but totally worth it. If you have your heart set on it though you might want to order it now and use it as a coffee table or something until you need it.

My sweet little Agatha at the bookstore in happier and healthier times. We’ll always love you and miss you terribly. R.I.P.
