I just love the word riffing in this one. It's sad Dave didn't get a textual scrap to play off of, too. He's acquitted himself quite well, however, including what is I believe the first instance of an artist being trapped in his own Exquisite Corpse, albeit two sections down. Nice one, guys.
[ Yes, I'm posting this one now instead of tomorrow morning because I'm out of town and I know how you all just can't get through a Monday without some fresh Corpse. Mmmmm..... Corpse..... ]

Very nice corpse! Excellent colors throughout. I especially like the shell in the bottom piece with the telephone booth, monitor, etc.

"...the first instance of an artist being trapped in his own Exquisite Corpse"
Trapped in a monitor that is trapped within a corpse that he helped create, with a ferret above, and a kevlar monkey pointing to the exit.
I am surreally speechless.

Great corpse! Wonderful imagery. I especially like the collection of what i guess could be classified as the clutter that we need/want eventually trapping us. well done!

A few words come to mind: seamlessness, Silkscreen, serendipity. Aren't we good?!

The contents of Venus' shell are various clippings from the other contributors sites, Photodude, Braincrumbs and Bulletproof Punk (sadly I couldn't find your site Jorun, I'm really sorry about that, I did try hard)
On the bottom left of Jimmy's slice, was that supposed to be a face or did I see one that wasn't there?
I'm doing my best to steer clear of 9/11 imagery now and anything war related, simply because the site should be about creation, not destruction. We bring these corpses to life.

Sorry D, my personal website is devoted to the 28 letters of the Swedish alfabet and not much more.
For a view of my life pre-1999, you're welcome to the terribly un-updated family site.
(On the big EU site there is no trace of me whatsoever!)

We Swedes have the luxury of using å, ä and ö as well. Sometimes we count w as a letter by itself, which gives us 29 of those little things to juggle. (Å always gets treated badly by typeface designers, with an overblown balloon on top instead of a graceful little ring)

The use of that text almost all the way down really creates a feeling of unity throughout this whole picture...it's bloody marvelous!
