vlad

the impaler

at the bookfair in grade six i bought a book about vlad dracul for a dime. i'm sure this is where my love of woodcut prints was born.
the biography itself was SCARY& i can still remember the exact moment when i flipped to the page that portrayed this woodcut.
yikes.

i love lee & this album & the color & feel of the film... what a strangely awesome tv special this is! i suggest watching the whole thing from beginning to end

oldest book illustrations of the danse macabre/totentanz/ dance of death genre.

1455-1458 germany, with hierarchy of victims

the ladies in this have dance moves just like the skellies

this film left me feeling like i was in another dreamy dimension: the speed of it, filmed in a single take at the russian state hermitage building in st.petersburg. founded by catherine the great* in 1764 to house her personal collection.
