On images that don't have something immediately obvious I sit back and check to see if they're a .gif. I won't be burned by a "screamer" type image again!

I know that this picture was a fraud (as far as being a shark goes), but this is the real deal. This happened last year in San Diego almost right outside my front door (not my picture).



I was supposed to go SCUBA diving the day that this happened, and I got a call from my buddy telling me about how the beach was still opened, but they were warning people. No diving for me that day, despite my insanely irrational love of sharks.

Things like this really put me on edge because of the placid nature of it. Who knows if that thing is malevolent and there's nothing particularly terrifying about it in the light, but to look up and suddenly see something like that staring through the window... I get the shivers just thinking about it.

For those interested in the man, there's a movie about him on Netflix (instant, last time I checked) called Love Is The Devil.

Does anyone know what this terrifying/gorgeous sculpture is?


edit: Turns out I have way more creepy stuff on my computer than I realized.

I was always under the impression that this is just a cut-away child's skull, so that you can see the mature teeth that are (were) about to come in.

edit: Thanks wheezy. That at least gives me something to go on; I am sometimes woefully ignorant of some aspects of Catholicism, despite how fascinating and generally badassed I find it to be.
Holy gently caress, the idea of that being the skull of Mary Magdalene adds that much more creepy weight to that photo.

Ah, that's plausible. At first I didn't really see the part where it looks to have been cut away. Either way, interesting!

There's an add-on for your browser so you can search google with an image. It's really handy when trying to identify a picture.

David Kendall - his art reminds me of Chet Zar.

I've always found art of Joel-Peter Witkin to be terrifying, obscene and shocking. The same goes for Sławomir Rumiak - but while Witkin deals with grotesque, Rumiak deals with mutilation. They both do realistic photo manipulations, however I can't see the point of such - it's like viewing a dA crap on professional level.

On the other hand - I do enjoy Bacon's art. Of course it's weird, but I'd guess it's also true, it reflects his life, his youth and relationships. Dunno.

Let me drop links to artists portfolio's that are indeed creepy for this thread: Kris Kuksi, Sanya Glistic and two that I think are the same person: Ana Bagayan, Mark Ryden.

It's a reliquary, a decorative container meant to display a piece of a saint or other important religious figure. Having a reliquary was a big draw for a church, so a lot of the 'saint's' bones were actually whatever bones happened to be around.

I'm sure it's been posted several times in this thread so I won't post about that crazy insane Russian Ossuary.

Anyway when I was little and had to go to church and sunday school my priest was telling us about relics and stuff. I thought it was so badass from the way he described it, I was thinking of like a fuckin' holy SKULL sitting in a cabinet somewhere repelling demons and poo poo. I asked him if our church had a relic, and indeed it did.

I was supposedly one of the finger bones of some saint or something, and no we couldn't see it. :(
