“Make your own Klingon forehead ridges.”
They’re more like forehead tumours. It’s not a good look.

Oh, I don’t know. It’s a look that says “let me sire your children” and “please give me a job.” Surely?
Flash Gordon is a classic. But Ator the Fighting Eagle was definitely shit.
“It’s not a good look.”
This one’s going for a Popeye-on-heroin effect.

“I’m hoping it will be the first of many 3-D cracker installations.”
There is danger of becomeing pretentious and veering into art-bollocks territory. It’s just cut-up crackers.
Also, loved the Kremlin pics and the rice paddy art. The later makes Gaijin crop circles look like garbage.
Oh, God. This is like some sort of Japanese Priapus. Cute, but also horrific. Sort of like Pokemon.
