Description
A whole bunch of things were running through my head when I made this pic. I didn't want it to be dark, scary or too safe. I wanted it to be just odd.Dedicated to Nikki a great artist whose art always makes me want to hear a story with them.

I love this - the women in the front are disturbing and the house looks exactly like the ones in my dreams (told about on my last RC challenge in my myspace blog) so yeah - loved this it was disturbing but not scary but not safe - just as you described - btw - just starting to watch pushing daisies too - V told me about it - said it was like Dead Like Me with Buffyesque dialogue I think.....ordered season one anyway - did you watch Reaper yet btw?

I don't know what Reaper is. I have still been looking for episodes of Dead Like Me to watch. Hard to find...

[link] here is the link for reaper - gene even likes it which is rare as we tolerate each others shows not enjoy them usually - but he is hooked too - very cool show you will probably like it
Here is the link for Dead Like Me - only $20 per season so not too bad - it is my top all time fave tv show -

DEfinately has that sort of carnivale or maybe even twin peaks feel to it.I like that you have created a sense of wonder in this work..cuz right now I'm wandering wth the story is!! lol nice work,hats off..

ErikDShipley In reply to IRISHWSDM [2008-08-29 07:34:44 +0000 UTC]
Don't talk about Carnivale. Makes me sad. I loved that show. Stupid HBO cancels the good stuff all the time and keeps the crap sex, drugs shows going forever. I don't watch much tv so I really get attached to he shows I do watch.
Thank you for the nice compliment...btw. hahaha.

I went and looked at the house that you used...omg I can't believe how much you changed it! That's incredible.
Most people would see that house and think that you just extracted it and put it in the picture without realizing how much work you actually did on it. You really did an awesome job.

ErikDShipley In reply to SilentPlea [2008-08-29 18:58:12 +0000 UTC]
hahaha...I remodeled it. Poor house. Yes, I spent some time fixing it up. I liked it and the shape it was in it could only be used for horror manips. So, I had to do something to it. I am really glad you noticed the work I put into it though. Thank you!!

Oh, it brings to mind so many books and movies I've read and seen... Practical Magic is one... the others are floating around in my head...
This is cool. Not dark, not scary... odd works. But then, I like odd, so I like this.

I have been watching last season episodes of 'ushing Daisies'. Awesome show. New season starts october 1st I think. Two weird aunts in that movie. Got me thinking about the aunts in Practical Magic...so yeah. I mixed lots of things into it. Thank you!!

I'm SO watching this season. I totally forgot about that I wanted to watch last season...but earlier on whatever station it runs, they did a synopsis of their upcoming shows, and that was one, and I SO want to see it... Maybe that's what I was thinking, in the back of my mind...it DOES have that feel.
And I was right then, Practical Magic was in there! Yay me!
