HALLOWEEN CHRONICLES

It is unseasonably warm this year going flying through autumn as my favourite week of the year approaches- my birthday, followed by Halloween.  There may be a thematic deluge of Halloween related stuff on here for the next little while, and for that, I do not apologize.  Breaking from tradition, I bought my costume some time ago, to avoid the mishaps of years previous, such as shanking my leg with an xact-o knife whilst carving a pair of conical tits for my man-eating cyborg costume last year. Here's some inspiration from Los Angeles based everything artist Marnie Weber, if you haven't already thought of what you spooky or sexy thing you need to be yet.

Ticking al the right boxes, as far as I'm concerned... And here are some dedicated Australians, who don't even celebrate the commodified deluge which is Halloween in any official sense, just laying down the gore.  Check out Champagne Hangover, a blog by this guy Byron from my home town down under. I like to look at it as a pleasing testament to the bigger and better things we've both moved on to.
