"You have no idea how big that is. This is giant on a scale where it's not just that we can't see what's doing it; it's that the entire makeup of the universe as we understand it can't be right if this is happening."

Stages of Decay

netbros — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:43:38 -0800

Julia Solis, who brought us Dark Passage (previously), is still exploring derelict sites, both subterranean and in urban decay. Her most recent project is Abandoned Theaters, a look at grand old movie palaces, school auditoriums, and theaters that have become, shall we say, retired. Julia still keeps a photoblog that she calls Dark Passage Travelogue, and partnering with Suzy Poling, she chronicles the decrepitude of hospitals long abandoned in Fantastic Degradation.

Heath was great but Robert Downey Jr. should win.

Absolutely amazing claymation video of Charlie Daniels' "The devil went down to Georgia".

Michael Mararian creates pen and ink drawings of mischievously macabre babies and children. Meet the dark and wicked little demons in his current exhibit or explore the world of childhood terrors in his phobias, foibles and fiends collection (scroll down a few) where humor and horror collide.

Is Batman Possible? "There's a quote from Neal Adams, the great Batman illustrator, who said Batman would win, place or show in every event in the Olympics."

Searching for Dark Matter

Scientists at Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole have begun searching for the elusive dark matter using the South Pole Telescope. The Station has been visited here before, but not in this context.

Truck Bearing Kibble

spiderskull — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:04:12 -0800

Truck Bearing Kibble is an intricately illustrated web comic clearly inspired by Perry Bible Fellowship (previ ously), albeit with more pop culture references. I recommend it for fans of both PBF and Cyanide and Happiness. Two of my favorites: "Showdown in Clowntown," "Battle Fighter II"

A: Yes, it's a VW bug." -- Carthedral. A few more (clearer, daylight) photos here.

Kol-Belov

Gator — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 22:45:45 -0800

It takes a long time to load, but Kol-Belov's "PU's_tota" is just so creepy and bizarre and awesome with really cool music. The artist is obviously deeply weird, also highlighted in the series of shorts, "Self-Destructing Organisms." There's also a game. These are Flash animations. Nearly all of them contain a modest amount of cartoon violence/gore; may not be safe for work. Also, the guy really loves his industrial music.

Zdzislaw Beksinski

Zdzislaw Beksinski (warning: music) produced some hauntingly beautiful, disturbing works of art: many, many paintings, as well as photographs, drawings, and digital creations. Sadly, he was killed earlier this year.

"In the end, it's the audience that counts." Imax theater chains take imaginary sides in the pretend controversy over evolution.

Morbid Outlook: The Goth is Good

taz — Thu, 12 Jun 2003 07:19:38 -0800

Morbid Outlook is a polished, eclectic Goth magazine with a killer design and content to die for. With hundreds of articles and images in the categories of Art, Music, Fashion, Lifestyle, Fiction and Nonfiction, this is one of the very best online zines I've seen yet. Go to any feature, and you will find a list of related-interest articles accompanying the story, and, usually, a listing of online resources or suggestions for reading as well.
