Bejeweled skeletons of Catholic martyrs
- dexwiz 10y agoPeople are weird. We pretend that people just recently got weird, that weird came out of the 60s/70s. No, people were always weird, and they have done weird things for a long time. Skeletons covered in jewellery, and well maintained? Weird. Incorruptibles are in the same vein [1]. Also weird. I love this weird as much as recent weird. Cthulhu mythos, Warhammer 40k space demons, Dhali's long legged animals, all weird. But people get hyped about this stuff like it means something. No, its just another time's weird art.
