claw foot

Viking funeral

This comes as part three of what started as a Venice progression; on account of the gondola having a carved face, which made me think of Viking ships, it has mutated into a Viking progression. (There was also a comment I made in an email to Ben about giving the asparagus in the fridge a… Continue reading Viking funeral

A visitor of odd proportions
