A journal by artist and designer John Coulthart.
A great addition to the growing collection of Flandrin-derived poses, courtesy of The Other Andrew. Probably a piece of Fifties physique photography, although it could be a more private example like the Flickr photo in #2.

The larval stage of a new kind of architecture

If Polly Morgan’s animal corpse art seems macabre, it looks positively mundane next to Serina Brewer’s creations. Her Custom Creatures include many multi-headed inventions like the cat thing shown here. She also does a fine line in carcass art, pickled pets and jewellery made from various extremities, should you be searching for those elusive alligator feet earrings.

Having finally lost patience with the K2 theme I’m now searching for a better solution so things will be in a state of flux here for a while. Much as I like K2, the developers seem incapable of producing a stable version despite the number of people working on it. The older version I was using screwed up the header uploads while the latest upgrade made a mess of the live search. Trying to deal with their problems as well as the occasional conflicts caused by upgrading WordPress itself is more trouble than I need.
Update: Okay, it looks like I’m going with Grid Focus by Derek Punsalan. I’d toyed with the idea of using a 3-column layout before and I like the presentation of this one. The trouble with WordPress themes is that the minimal ones tend to be far too minimal while the not-so-minimal ones are often highly-coloured and unsuited to the purpose of sitting alongside the rest of my site. So for now this seems a decent solution although it’ll require some additional hacking to bring back some of the features I was using before. Your patience is requested.
