blood, wire and general insanity
So yesterday I spent the afternoon with this freaking talented photographer, covered in fake blood with my face squished up in wire.
Can I just say, holy crap the woman has vision. Kimothy, your neighbors may never make eye contact again, and my face is a little bruisy, but far out… well worth every second of it. I’d do it again in a heart beat.

Gore and horror is hardly mainstream. Actually quite a few people are actively against it. But I am absolutely fascinated by how far and hard we can push ourselves as humans. The finished pieces are not just confronting but dissolve into layers the longer you contemplate them.
Anyway enough waffle from me.

Coming from someone who sees blood every day, that is quite possibly the best compliment you could give a fake blood loving weirdo like me. Thank You!
