If you bring some fresh scalps, he might even sign 'em.

It's not just the art and design that go into them but how those elements must work together to communicate a concept while catching the eye.

If you're a fan of The Thing, you'll appreciate 5 Cats That Look Like Wilford Brimley. Too funny. http://www.rue-morgue.com/blog/archives/2008/05/02/dr-blair-or-mr-whiskers/ Arist Jason D'Aquino has informed me that one of his art pieces was stolen from the Carnivora show in Detroit. Let's try to help him catch the degenerate who stole it. It's disgusting anyone would even think of doing such a thing.
