Was it mass cannibalism, ritual slaughter or both? Archaeologists who unearthed the remains of 500 Stone Age corpses in the German town of Herxheim say the meat was cut off their bones as if they were livestock. One conclusion is that the people were eaten — after volunteering to be sacrificed.
Mac, age 6
Just reposting this for my online buddy Mac Tonnies, of POSTHUMAN BLUES, who passed away last October at the age of 34. His parents are donating images that Mac drew when he was a youngster, obsessed with UFO’s and aliens even then. Tonnies remains one of the most down to earth and realistic explorers of the “UFO enigma” I’ve so far found. His tribute website is going to post more of his early drawings in the days and weeks to come.
We love both H.P. Lovecraft and fun art openings. So when Dylan Thuras of Atlas Obscura told us he was curating a Cthulhu-centric art show in Brooklyn, we bellowed a hearty “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!”
The show — A Love Craft: Art Inspired by Monsters, Madness and Mythos — opens at Observatory on Friday, June 11th at 7:00 PM. Here’s the show’s description.
I’ve been a blogger for several years, whatever that means, and in turn I’ve jumped around from a lot of different blogs and social networking sites. Here are 3 things I’ve written which I believe to be a little under-appreciated and hidden relics.
First off, RANDOM CHAOS from my LIVE JOURNAL page which is rarely updated these days. There are 100’s of cool links posted in this section, with “late breaking news”. Give it a look when you’re bored with an open mind.
Secondly, why not check out the creepy and kooky MOONSTAR’S MAYHEM AND MASTERPIECE DRIVE IN THEATER when you need a little, good old fashion, horror and sci-fi fix? Ahhh, my favorite alter ego!
And last but not least, check out MYTHS FROM THE VAULT, also at the Live Journal page. It was a rundown of monsters throughout the history of religion, mythology, folklore. A very interesting collection. You might have to dig a little deeper here to find the prize…
Who knows, maybe one day I’ll revive these experiments. They are the 3 “lost” internet collections I’d most like to find the time to update…
CONSPIRAPORN!
