This is a series of organic sculptures made out of soil and wheat grass seeds by Mathilde Roussel. The sculptures are intended to show the effects of transformation of the material as a metaphor of the transformation and decay of the body over time.

Poe Visualized by Harry Clarke
From the 1919 deluxe edition of Edgar Allen Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, Harry Clarke reached deep into those dark, flinching corners underneath the bed and ripped out the grotesque horrors that lurked within, creating these macabre illustrations that accompanied Poe’s disturbing classics like “The Pit and the Pendulum” and the “The Telltale Heart” perfectly. In the same vein as Stephen Gammell’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark monstrosities decades later, these illustrations are sufficient evidence that while some stories can be even more frightening when left to your imagination, it takes a truly visceral artist to give those shadows form and really scare the bejeezus out of you.

My wonderful friend Chet Williams just finished recording an album called We All Walk Fast And Nod In Unison, and I can tell you first hand that it is absolutely fantastic! 14 piece ensemble complete with both horns and strings sections, guest vocals and all manner of other things you can think of. Please give it a listen, and if you like it (click the link, its really good!) spread it around to all of your friends who appreciate good music.
