beautiful memento mori paintings by Nina Rupena

I love what she has done with the stenciled lace and the yellowed sepia colours- like in faded photographs, faded memories. I think it looks like a mix of something spiritual and beautiful and something decaying and rotting. A perfect memento mori.. oh dear, I'm such a goth :)





The paintings are oil paint and stencil on canvas.

real alien pictures

Yes they are real pictures. The aliens are probably fake though. That's ok, I have a fluid enough perception of reality to be satisfied by imagining and pretending.




Still.. it would be more awesome if they where for real. If any aliens reads this, please get in touch for conversation and a photo session for proof, and make sure you turn up to my house looking more believable than in these photos.
Ps. I come in peace.

music: Eyes Without a Face by Billy Idol

What the hell. I love this tune. He has a nice voice, and I like the melody. I also love to look at the weird angular shapes he makes with his mouth as he's singing. Very entertaining.


I've read somewhere on the internets that Billy Idol chose people for his band based on their looks. Ha ha. Comedy Value.

He wasn't hard on the eyes, though.
