Found Bones and other Word Art/Poems

Inspired by the terrifc response we're getting to the Fridge of the Damned magnetic word tile campaign, I'll be posting poems (made with real or virtual poetry magnets) and related "word art" to the project's Flickr set. Drop by and check them out from time to time. This set can also include your own poems written with The Fridge of the Damned in the mind, if you care to share. Just email photos to me and I'll post them. Remember: the kickstarter campaign ends February 1st, 2013. Act swiftly if you want to be a part of the action!

See his blog entry on the project for a behind-the-scenes video of its construction and more shots of this big, brainy skull. I think a…
