The sense of impending doom that has pervaded the Western psyche in the past hundred years or so has been informed in large part by Christian mythology, stemming from a deep-seated notion that mankind is flawed and must be punished. Ottowa-based artist Howie Tsui http://www.howietsui.com/ , however, draws from Chinese ghost stories, Japanese erotic art and demonology, contemporary Asian cinema, manga, and what has now become a global end-time psychosis to create a modern Asian reiteration of the torment and fear first translated to canvas by Hieronymus Bosch.

Saturday Night's Alright for Even a Few, More, Good Borrowed Images

From: http://pappaoomaumau.blogspot.com/2009/08/necessary-evils.html

Interplanetary transmissions & the sound of blood lust-get ready for the extreme psychodelic & otherworldly sounds of the Necessary Evils. Their brand of sci-fi inspired fuzz rock stands alone. Founded in 1997 by Steve Pallow (formerly of The Beguiled) & James Arthur (formerly of Fireworks) & rounding out their line up with Kyle John Hall on drums & Jimmy Hole on bass, The Evils have carved a nasty path of destruction over the last few years. Their's is the darkest, sickest, meanest sound around-truly the product of a disturbed psyche. Steve Pallow's voice issues warnings & threats throughout their rock n' roll demolition derby while James Arthur wrangles sounds out of his beat up Electra guitar that range from the sound of metal on metal grinding to that made by a flying saucer. Jimmy & Kyle's rhythm gives one very fat bottom to this ugly beast. With a nod to 60's psychedelic music (see covers of The Seeds, Black Rose, White Light & ineptitude kings The Keggs). The Evils make a racket that's brutal, intrusive and uncompromising.(FROM THE IN THE RED WEBSITE)

Bride Ballyhoo
For the enterprising exhibitor, the gag handouts could be rolled into an elaborate lobby display, the “First Aid Lobby Booth Stunt”, providing “everything necessary for the audience who suffer ‘thrill-shock” when seeing THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN”. The booth should be “painted white, with the cross in red to make it as realistic as possible”. Items, “all easily obtainable”, included hair straightener and hair dye, spirits of ammonia, gum and cigarettes. Universal would recycle this stunt as the “First-Aid For Shock Booth” in the mid-40s for its House of Frankenstein and House of Dracula monster rallies, calling it “a time-honored stunt… should be taken from your files and dusted off.” (via Frankensteinia)

I have a confession to make....I really don't care so much about blogging per se, it's just a really easy way to keep track of things I like and might need to find again in the future. So when I came across this poster on Turksville I had to post it here....I had seen it years ago on artist Keith Weesner's site and lost it....so now I know where to look for it again.

There are pictures that you come across that just make you stop for a second. I believe the youth of today call it a WTF moment. Well, this one did exactly that to me - and made me wonder what on earth was the cause for this particular photo opportunity.

Insects In Flagrante (from Webphemera Blog)

http://www.webphemera.com/2009/05/insects-in-flagrante.html

(Here are some, ahem, interesting photographs of insects making the world go round. Click on 'Insects In Flagrante' above & go to the Webphemera Blog for lots more photos & descriptions.)



The diversity of insects on this planet is astonishing and should be a source of continual wonder for us all. It can only be hope that these incredible creatures can be left to survive and continue their species for many millennia to come. Of course they do everything we do - sometimes with much more aplomb! You may think this is mother nature at is rawest or a kind of bug porn! Choose for yourself, but ready or not - here we go!

A pair of Migrant Hawkers mates, the fantastic coloring of their bodies coordinating so well with each other. Found in Sweden, this dragonfly is known there as Höstmosaikslända which translates to “Fall Mosaic”. A rather beautiful name for a rather beautiful creature.


Two rotting bananas do it on a lead. This awesomely ugly creature is known as Lixus angustatus but we would call it a weevil. They are also, unsurprisingly, known as Snout Beetles and look as if they are some long lost relative of the Ant Eater. There is such an abundance of Weevil species and diversity that their classification is in a constant state of flux but you are most likely to meet one at home if you open a bag of flour! A good job that home baking is on the decline, then!


The European Praying Mantis is one of the more popular insects because of its alien appearance. The female is renowned for eating the male after mating. This is certainly true – and the male knows it. Little known is the fact that many males manage to make a quick getaway after they have secured continuance of their genetic material!


These Cicada Parasite bugs may look as if they belong to different species but it is quite usual for male and female insects to be startlingly different from one another. The larger one is the female and the brown one doing the work is the male. Found in the USA, they are otherwise known as Cedar Beetles.


What selection of insects would be complete without the inclusion of the Grasshopper? This image manages to be beautiful, scary and creepy all at the same time.
