What a fun corpse. I like it very much. Ann's Electric Dog is great. Animals, plants and patterns. Let's play a game of knives vs. crowns. Nice colon.

Ooh, I love this one - The green animal print, the ladybugs, and the checkerboard pattern at the bottom. Awesome corpse. =)

There is something very appealing about this type of corpse for me. Not quite broken, not quite whole, and a mix of images and textures.
The multi-image collage work tends to make me focus more and look a bit longer. I want to find the linear path, and the dimensional one. I want to look at the very fine detail and then take a big step back to see the entire image. It’s almost as if I’m trying to find some terribly special secret within the corpse.
They are like little labyrinths of vision and mystery. A maze of the grandest scale.
I’m not really able to find this in the more seamless and pristine work we do. They are equally as beautiful and have their own appeal, but it’s more difficult for me to break them down. I can’t get beyond seeing them in their entirety and their aesthetic. It produces a completely different response.
It’s interesting how few people talk about their work. What motivated it, what techniques they used, why they chose to do whatever it is they did. It’d be interesting to hear. I would much rather hear what the artists had to say about their own work than what other people did.
Hmm. But I guess that would make all my blathering above moot. Damned walnut must be going stale.

If you could keep staring up that hole you'd see the inside of the duodenum, seriously.

Nice one! I love the colors!

"I would much rather hear what the artists had to say about their own work than what other people did."
A standing O to the Angry Dwarf. I agree 100%.

Nicely done, folks.

All sweet with me.
How's and, more like, WHY's could fun, even educational [8~0 Did I say a rude word?]
Who wants to pose the first question?

You know, it didn't really catch my eye at first, but I'm really digging the mushroom heart action going on between snags and Janus' panels.

Why and how..
For me at the moment, re: Corpse 0384:
I've just gone and got a general idea of styles of other paticipants. There appears to be a border [frame], so I'm constructing that first.
Then, maybe, the cooking show trick - here's one I prepared ealier - might just work, this time.

Who's in the what now?
