The Walking Dead is back, and we’re all better off because of it. Or maybe, we’re all more traumatized, thanks to the Governor’s custom-made aquariums. If you still don’t get zombies and the zombiecalypse at this point, you probably never will, although there is nothing wrong with that. Gore and guts – not for everyone. [...]

It’s really called “Important People Drinking Coffee“, but with personalities such as Jesus and George Washington, “boss” is such an appropriate term, don’t you think?

I am sure a thousand and one answers can be given to that question, but if you are artist Tracy Featherstone, you’ll say “wearable sculptures“!
