Mummification was a very important element of the Papuan culture, the preserved body of a village’s big man, an elder, chief or a great warrior was regarded as a link with ancestors. The process involved hanging the corpse in a specially build house over a fire, and smoking it continuously for up to a year. Indonesians regarded the tradition as barbaric, prohibited the procedure, confiscated and destroyed most of the mummies in the area. This is one of three survivors in the Baliem valley. The smoking process doesn’t protect from rodents though – you can see the teeth-marks all over the hands of the mummy. Baliem valley, 15 km from Wamena, Irian Jaya (Indonesian Papua).

A Visual collaboration between F. A. Moore / and myself for the group , Resurrection of the Exquisite Corpse _There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. / If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. verses . 40-44of Corinthians Chapter 15 An Explanation of how this is done a tough one for sure, this is what we had to do. This work is a work where you take *one inch only of someones work and “make a picture to tie into that one inch” I made the whole first picture, and then sent her through email , one inch of it. / here is what she saw.. she then did the bottom half of what you see, I then sent her through email the top half and I did complete top half. she then Blended in the works to erase some of the horizontal distractions.. this is my complete picture, which I will share at another time F.A. Moore would like to thank stock providers: Mizzd-Stock, Wyldraven, UmbraDeNoapte-Stock, Remidica-Stock, Zaraun-Shyntrak, and Marcus J. Ranum*

Just a design that popped into my head just in time for Halloween, but not in time to get it done. Not usually my taste, but what better way to say “Happy [belated] Halloween” than this bit of Zombie/Slasher merchandise, you lucky so-and-so!

Black fineliner and coloured marker on drawing paper. Additional digital colour added afterward. This is an Exquisite Corpse with Alexandra Felgate, who sent me this: When I uncovered it, I discovered colour and was extremely happy about my descision to keep to fine linework this time. OK, so I cheated just a little: I sampled the colours of the flowers and added them to the mermaid’s hair digitally. I also cropped the image, so my side would bleed off the edges too. Oh and I couldn’t resist copying some of those daisies over to my side, either ;-) I think it’s beautiful, those are amongst my favourite colour combinations. Thanks so much, Alexandra!
