NEW IMAGE CHALLENGE: CREEPY STUFF
Boo! This week's challenge is to come up with creepy stuff — images that scare, startle and haunt, and interrupt one's sleep patterns. Suggested by sandettie light vessel automatic.

Maybe some company just tells him that he owns a satellite
And they just email him pics from Google Earth now and then saying "And this is where that naughty chap failed to sort his recycling, you're doing a wonderful job, Mr. Clooney, sir, now that'll be another million dollars for this month."
alternatively, the back of old wallpaper does offer some good purchase, for pastels. But for pencil work I would recommend some nice heavy paper. The best comes from Italy, but is quite pricey.

when we opened it up there were 5 or 6 dead starlings in various states of decay. fucking grim. we cleaned them up with a spade and threw them into the woods but then my co-workers dog went and fetched them back.

You seem to enjoy a very theatrical sort of authenticity
what with this and the ballpoints with blue feathers stuck in them and such. Which is fine, I'm glad your mind is untroubled by the falseness of it all. Real quills would have had the barbs shaved off, though, and would only have been good for writing on actual parchment (less abrasive). If you get anxious, I encourage you to go out and skin a young goat.

The Atrocity Archive is an excellent start.
It's about a computational demonologist who begins fieldwork for an offshoot of the SOE and has to deal with something unpleasant in Amsterdam. Kind of Ian Fleming meets H P Lovecraft with large doses of cynicism and sarcasm.

Can you link the word "rude" as it's NSFW, please?
In other news, if I see that woman make that stupid blowy-hand-movement action at the end of that Always advert again, I'm going to make her eat a packet of the bloody things. See how bloody absorbent they are now.
I'd like to say "Well I bloody well hope you washed your hands!" It's just not cricket is it?

I was looking for a 17th century oil painting earlier, perhaps the Flemish school, of hell and judgement. You know, crowds of people in semi-darkness, fire and that. Looked like a rave from the 90s. House of God in Brum or The Coven in Oxford. Anyway, unlike that other song, there the devil is a DJ. Looked like a good -rave up!

But aren't the FAQs there so new people can learn 'the rules', and if they are not correct as interpreted by a 'new person', then aren't they somewhat pointless?

If it's over 400k
make it smaller in width and height and use an html width= tag to enlarge it You've got an unnecessary number of frames, cull every other one and then double each remaining frame duration. Finally save it with a reduced colour palette to shave off a few more K.
If the end result is a mess and you really want people to see the original, simply put it as a link as I have done for yours.

Or something.)
