new from the Selby

You're probably already familiar with the Selby, but if you don't receive updates via email or in your reader of choice I'd say you should scoot on over to catch up. The newest addition to their series represents the exquisite corpse of a home belonging to artists Jessica Grindstaff & Erik Sanko.  It's a wunderkammer reminiscent of a brightened Brothers Quay film set. Le sigh.

if you have two minutes...

...watch this. It's ever so lovely.

oooh, new odd numbered month!

I'll tell you why that's exciting....because I get to punch out a new creature from my Zoo Calendar! It was a much-appreciated Christmas gift from one of my favorite ladies - new animal for every two months, this time a deer of sorts.
