Jim Henson and Monstrosity

Liked today's google doodle for Jim Henson's 75th Birthday. It made me start thinking about just how bizarre Sesame Street (let alone The Muppet Show) really was. Also reminded me that I once wrote an alternative muppet piece in a (way) back issue of The Goreletter: if you missed it, check out "Grim Henzen Productions". p.s. The interactive logos are the best. I learned you can make the word 'google' eat itself in today's doodle... I also made the bald man's glasses spin off, but I have no idea how I did that.

Alternative Rorschach

Encouraged by early feedback, I'm starting a new digital art series on my flickr gallery called "Alternative Rorschach." Check it out, free associate, and tell me what you see in the comments section on flickr or on facebook. I've only done three "cards" so far; and if feedback keeps coming I will do the entire deck of psychologist inkstains in my own weird way in the weeks to come, so keep coming back (see Rorschach Inkblots page on wikipedia to learn more about the source of this stuff).

The Haunt’s Horror Arcade

I should be working, but how can I when there are maniac clowns on the loose? The new "MySpace for Horror Fans Only" website, The Haunt, hosts a bounty of online "flash" games you can play online for free in their macabre Arcade section. I'm not too old to admit I thoroughly enjoyed the silly survivalist massacre known as Clown Killer 2.   After a ten minute session, I became the champion player of CK2 with a new high score...which will surely be defeated soon by some John Wayne Gacy wannabe who has more time on his or her plastic-gloved hands. I'm haunting the…
