The Weirdo Next Door

Is my son!! He obviously has his mother's taste in art. We decided to post some pics from his house. Above is an etching of a beetle.


Some of these prints depict hell.


Click for close ups.


When we were decorating his house we went to a gallery in Salem, Mass..


We found exactly what we were looking for.


What do you see when you look at this picture?


Do you see a skull or a Victorian woman sitting at her dressing table?


This is a hand carved walking stick that I bought just outside of Calais, Maine.

It is shaped like a snake.


It has a leather tongue.


I wonder if it would keep real snakes away on a walk?


I really like this woman's work though I can not remember her name.


The detail is like a botanical print.





And here is the scariest thing in his house.......Mischief......the 18 year old kitty!!!!



*Halloween Memories: I remember using the sticks of waxy crayons to paint our faces. What a mess they were. I can still smell the smell! After trick or treating for a few blocks we would start getting sweaty and the makeup would run all over our costumes.
