Behold the Machine
Recently done for Vernian Process – the original painting is 48×24 inches in acrylic on birch panel. The details are tiny, with a lot of single-hair brush work done. There are polar bears the size of dimes, swirls and twirls the size of pin-heads, needle-thin ropes and lines, and a ton of details and hidden images hidden within hidden images – made so that its owner can find many, many new things throughout the years. Icebergs and crashed pods create goggled figures, grim visages made of waves and of ice – this piece is fanciful and fantastical with strong and hidden undercurrents of dark and brooding. 20×10 Metallic prints, and 12 from each of the giclees on canvas (presale only), giclees on Rag Paper, and Large Metallic Prints are available in the store. Though all limited edition prints are hand-signed, and hand-embellish my signature on all canvas giclees, only #s I, II and 1-10 of these limited editions will be hand-embellished. Prof. Aden M.

The Tale of How
“Nine months of part time work gave birth to The Blackheart Gang’s acclaimed short film called, The Tale of How. The Tale of How is the second part of a trilogy of works called the Dodo Trilogy. It is to later be flanked by The Tale of Then and The Tale of When. The Dodo Trilogy, in turn, fits into a much greater work called, The Household”… More on this amazing film series here The Tale of How from Shy the Sun on Vimeo. [via] Prof. Aden M.

Televisor Museum
As announced by Prof. Erwin Lindemann of the forum at brassgoggles, These televisors are the creme de la creme when it comes to modern Victorian Era technology – which would lead me to wonder exactly why they are calling it a “museum”, were it not for their wondrously artistic design and craftsmanship. Of course such attention to aesthetics is today’s standard when it comes to quality electro-powered devices – after all, if it is not beautiful in its design, how could it ever be correct in its engineering? The museum has near thirty of these incredible works of modern technology; Expect to see them available for ordering by the early to mid Edwardian Era, with customizations available as per buyer.

Back from Yet Another Perilous Journey
“Stand back everyone, I’m from Cincinnati!”, I yelled, intelligently, at the frightened masses huddled inside of the aeroplane cabin, their faces ugly with fear. There I stood, alone, amidst the crowd, looking over a rather broken man, who was gasping in pain, clutching at his own hideously twisted form. “Just what does being from Cincinnati have to do with medical emergencies?” huffed she, a rather pointy-faced old lady, who by the tone of her voice, and the sheer stupidity of her question, was obviously from Toledo. “Well,” I said “Cincinnati is 683 feet above sea level, and 31 miles from the ocean, which of course makes me the anti-christ.” “And who better to save the life of this poor man than one with such awesome and incredible powers of deduction as I?”, I added, peering around the innards of the fast-falling machine – looking for makeshift tools to do the job at hand. There was little time remaining; The injured man’s leg was bleeding profusely all over the fine low-pile cobalt-blue carpet, his bones jutting awkwardly outward like the eyes of a strangled Cambodian prostitute.

Where Once Poe Walked
Where Once Poe Walked by H. P. Lovecraft Eternal brood the shadows on this ground, Dreaming of centuries that have gone before; Great elms rise solemnly by slab and mound, Arched high above a hidden world of yore. Round all the scene a light of memory plays, And dead leaves whisper of departed days, Longing for sights and sounds that are no more. Lonely and sad, a specter glides along Aisles where of old his living footsteps fell; No common glance discerns him, though his song Peals down through time with a mysterious spell. Only the few who sorcery’s secret know, Espy amidst these tombs the shade of Poe. Prof. Aden M. Kemywww.mykeamend.com
Seemingly Alien Elbowed Squid
A mile and a half (two and a half kilometers) underwater, a remote control submersible’s camera has captured an eerie surprise: an alien-like, long-armed, and—strangest of all—”elbowed” Magnapinna squid. [more at National Geographic] … I am willing to wager, that these things are either incredibly good, or incredibly bad at dancing. ‘Ever see a normal squid do the Charelston? Ne’r a pretty sight.

From Beyond
Written in 1920 by H. P. Lovecraft Published June, 1934 in The Fantasy Fan Horrible beyond conception was the change which had taken place in my best friend, Crawford Tillinghast. I had not seen him since that day, two months and a half before, when he told me toward what goal his physical and metaphysical researches were leading; when he had answered my awed and almost frightened remonstrances by driving me from his laboratory and his house in a burst of fanatical rage. I had known that he now remained mostly shut in the attic laboratory with that accursed electrical machine, eating little and excluding even the servants, but I had not thought that a brief period of ten weeks could so alter and disfigure any human creature. It is not pleasant to see a stout man suddenly grown thin, and it is even worse when the baggy skin becomes yellowed or grayed, the eyes sunken, circled, and uncannily glowing, the forehead veined and corrugated, and the hands tremulous and twitching. And if added to […]
