Findings









Rest in Peace Dennis

Personal quote:

"In the 50s, when me and Natalie Wood and James Dean and Nick Adams and Tony Perkin suddenly arrived... God, it was a whole group of us that sort of felt like that earlier group - the John Barrymores , Errol Flynns, Sinatras, Clifts - were a little farther out than we were... So we tried to emulate that lifestyle. For instance, once Natalie and I decided we'd have an orgy. And Natalie says "O.K., but we have to have a champagne bath." So we filled the bathtub full of champagne. Natalie takes off her clothes, sits down in the champagne, starts screaming. We take her to the emergency hospital. That was our orgy, you understand?"

Frank Booth quote:

"Heineken? Fuck that shit!! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!!"

Codex Seraphinianus




















These are pages from a visual encyclopedia called the CODEX SERAPHINIANUS which was written in an indecipherable language by Luigi Seraphini between 1976-78 and describes in great detail the many twists and turns of an alternate world.

Patrick Woodroffe !



























This is guy is just so good. Working within genres known for their many pitfalls into tired, lame cliches, Woodroffe combines versatility, inventiveness and an almost schizophrenic attention to detail that is totally daunting. He has a gargantuan amount of work and this is really a very miniscule selection. I grew up with the book above, MYTHOPOEIKON. It is my Dad's. Sort of. I'm "borrowing" it.

Thanks to this really neat site.


Thanks Dad
