I love the realistic fantasy, which tricks the eye and mind at first gaze… #odd
The infamous ‘illuminate’ tree! Apparently, ‘illuminate tree’ or ‘IT’ as he’s called in the forest, is being held captive by a crazy antique tree watcher! The tree watcher from antiquity, is obviously forcing ‘IT’ to painfully gaze upon a true schizophrenic with paranoid delusions. With a piece of art so bizarre, why wouldn’t my explanation be bizzare as well?
Did you notice the fella is bald and has one helluva moustache? That wasn’t what I observed first! I had to look at it for a few seconds… #Bizarre
In all my years, growing up in the country, building tree forts, and playing in the woods daily, I never was lucky enough to see a tree like this! I mean, I built some mean wooden fortresses… I even had booby traps set up around my camoflouged perimeter… I would have given that all up as a boy to see a tree like this! I know, I’m a typical male…can’t help that! #wood
The Walking Dead? Beauty and youth versus mortality and time? The lifeless gaze of a living corpse? Either answer or answers could be both the question and the answer. That’s the beauty of all art… it’s open to individual interpretation! #thewalkingdead
Although, definitely not a traditional oil on canvas, I feel the canvas is absolutely appropriate that this artist used. A wonderfully macabre peice of art! #macabre
Words… perhaps aren’t necessary for this piece. Bizarre and a little gross, but it does force the viewer to figure out what’s happening in this picture. I did the picture. I glean my own definition, my own understanding… what do you think of this artwork? #obesity
If you found 3 or more of the above pictures, somehow cool, then you are officially in the most intelligent group, the ‘Weird’ group!
If you found 2 or less of the above pictures, somewhat, not cool, then you are officially in the Republican Party! Just kidding, just kidding… but no, you are definitely less intelligent than the weirdos!
I hope you enjoyed the odd art and simple writing. I enjoyed writing and researching! I’m a nerd and a weirdo!
Thanks again and come back! Like my blog please! #www.darwinsrightleftwing.com
Laney and her Yorkie, Kia. These two are inseparable. Kia might as well have Crohn’s disease as she spends hours everyday in the bathroom with Laney!
Please, if you are a parent, please sign this petition. Marijuana is a diverse plant with MANY beneficial properties. My daughter is taking a dangerous chemo drug for her Crohn’s Disease. She is only 7. It will leave her sterile and further injure her liver. Please help her. Please help ALL Kansans with Chronic Illness and Pain without voices. Please sign this all important, historic petition. Stand and scream! Make your voices so loud that the House and Senate WILL HAVE TO LISTEN TO US!
Modern Day Ghost Towns are fascinating to millions of people around the planet. The mystery, the decimation of civilization, the story…it is all so macabre, beautiful, bizarre and disheartening. The pictures remind us that Armageddon is possible, for any of us, at any time! These dark, haunting images prove that many people have already been through their own, personal apocalypses.
We will start with the biggest nuclear incident of all time…Chernobyl and the city of Pripyat. Pripyat HAD a population of 50,000. That changed in April of 1986, forever!
Pripyat is an abandoned city in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on February 4th, 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
A solemn reminder of the humanity that once inhabited Pripyat. The city of 50,000 is no more. April 26th, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant malfunctioned and a “melt-down” occurred. Over 350,000 people were evacuated from Pripyat and the surrounding area between 1986 to 2000!
The pulse is absent in this city. All have left, although the insidiously deceptive radiation related illnesses, such as cancer, birth defects, sterility and many other medical issues continue for the people exposed to this disaster!
Hashima Island, Japan, also known as “Battleship Island” because of its shape. This island was a busy coal mining industry until petroleum hit the market huge in the 1960s. Hashima Island was abandoned in 1974.
The picture explains the dense nature of living on the tiny island shaped like a battleship! Living on the island was probably much like living on a huge ocean-liner. The buildings were all built from concrete to withstand the infamous, Japanese typhoons!
Hashima is another well-known, modern-day, ghost town. The island is definitely interesting. The history of the island is one of forced labor during war, crowded conditions and greed. The result, a beautifully, macabre and bizarre ghost island!
The once bustling Motor City has become all but a ghost town, with nature having reclaimed whole districts. For decades, the richer suburbs and the financial district managed to survive, while the rest of the town slowly withered. Finally, around the middle of the century, it became clear that metropolitan Detroit was dead. After that realization, it was only a matter of months before all corporate and municipal activity were closed down. The people who had the means to move, did and the poor, stayed behind, without any choice. Left in Dead Detroit Rock City! This story has happened time and again. Hurricane Katrina left most of the poor in her disastrous wake!
America should not have crumbling Iconic Cities, such as Detroit. It is a travesty and a shame. Detroit is on its death-bed.
There are quite literally, thousands of homes like this in Detroit. The city looks post-apocalyptic!
Many more modern-day ghost towns exist all over the world, many in America! The U.S.A. continues to see more and more empty towns, cities and buildings all over due to recent times of recession. I’ll leave you with one more image of Detroit. Enjoy!
Trees taking back their territory by exploding through the decay, bringing new life to this dead, man-made building. This Detroit Book Repository looks like the book shelves are stocked and ready for reading! Nature is taking back Nature!

Stinging…that was the immediate response, then came a bit of shock…not the kind of shock you die from, but the kind that shatters your heart. Weird thing is…I kinda liked it. Is that wrong? I felt ashamed of myself as the adrenaline coursed through my veins. I felt I didn’t deserve it, but I wanted it again…shame, doubt or am I perverse? Maybe I am a victim? Who would I tell? Because I still kinda liked the sting…that reminded me I was fully aware and alive.
Twisted in agony I am. Depressed, alone, darkness. Cast, no really, cast in this immobile image. Once I walked amongst other human-beings. Now, am I, am I in Hell? I see nothing but blank stares, looking through me, or what used to be me. I scream, but everyone is deaf. They wander, in pain, looking for an exit. But there is none!
Hello, our name is Death…and we are here for your soul today. We already know you weren’t expecting us. Coupled together, we are. 2 human shells… spliced, stitched, plumbed and wired as a single unit, and today, my friend, is your day. Tears won’t stop it. Prayer won’t stop it. It’s too late slave. We own you now. Our home is your emptiness.
The strings sing my sadness in tones no human voice can reach. I am waiting for death. I wait, sadly and quietly, with seconds of nothingness amongst hours of sheer panic. I wonder to myself “is this life?” I never get an answer. I never hear a voice telling me what to do. I pray at times, but fall asleep before I get to the “amen” part. Prayer is like counting sheep backwards for me I guess.
The apparatus had a firm grip on my torso, squeezing ever so slightly. Slightly but consistently constantly. The girl across the way was already dead. Her bodily juices running down the machines mechanical, clawed hand and smacking the floor louder than machine-gun fire! Her body was slowly turning ash colored as her life blood ran down the industrial killing machine’s hand. No matter how hard the apparatus squeezed the life out of us, it was never enough for the entity that once protected us. Rich in the Billions and Politicians were exempt…under their health care plans!
Lost Gigs, floating in a cloud, around my dismantled mind. Untied, untangled and set free…gone forever. Now, I am considered insane. I am not Insane alone. I am CreAtivelY INSANE.
A picture is worth a thousand words, sometimes more. She was so sad, I could only compare it to the sadness of someone who has lost a partner in life. I didn’t know what to say…I stuttered and stammered. I asked her if she was okay finally, after I ate some mushrooms. I don’t remember what happened next. Now I am broken-hearted.
Until I found my own identity. I let the Morbid One rob me of who I was for so many years. Now I know. The Morbid One was part of me. I had to exorcise that piece of me that was defeating me! I won.
American. Freedom.Democratic.Founded. ON Slavery and death. Death of Americans already living here! The Rich have gotten richer, and more elite, if possible. The poor have moved into poverty-stricken and the middle class is poor! But…But…the Rich have gotten Richer! The margin is growing wider, too wide to be bridged anymore! Republicans scream socialism at the left while capitalism is at an all time HIGH! Wow! Why bother. Big Brother wants our eyes gouged out and mouth sewn shut. The girl above is THE perfect American according to recent people polls!
According to movies and maybe in the Bible, the dead will be judged before God at the End of Times. Man, it sucks if you have been dead for awhile…what kind of afterlife would it be if you were half-rotten? What if you were only a Femur? The rest was gone? You are screwed! Right? What if you were just a pelvis? That wouldn’t be much of an after-life, even if you were on a Gold Street!
This cemetery may seem weird or bizarre to other cultures but this is the norm in London and the U.K. Some of our cemeteries and burial rituals are much more bizarre.
This cemetary may seem weird or bizarreto other cultures but this is the norm in Louisiana, U.S.A. Sound familiar? Through the centuries, cultures have all had differences. Some differences are minute, like a millisecond. Other differences are a rope bridge across the Grand Canyon! Huge and Vast Differences!
This seems outlandish and over-the-top…Much like the dead residents of this Grand Hall of corpses. Let’s just say more than one star spends their eternity here, in this luxury corpse Hotel!
This culture has a wonderful tradition of growing and cultivating the areas their loved ones are buried in. I think this is a very beautiful idea. I like the idea of their loved ones nourishing new life. Maybe that’s macabre or bizarre, but that’s me!
You can’t deny that both of these photos look like cemeteries! Gloomy, armagedon-like, postapocalyptic, zombie hangout, walking dead type stuff!
Okay! 2 more pictures to go of the most unusual and bizarre cemetaries in THE WORLD!
Beautiful, scary, bizarre, unique… This art speaks volumes to deaf ears…ears of the dead!
This is supposedly “haunted”…if you believe in that kind of thing then it probably is to you and that’s cool. To each their own. Live and let Live! Peace and all that other stuff!
Maybe we’re weird, bizarre, odd or possibly, creatively insane to like this subject. I truly feel the beauty is in the macabre, bizarre and odd.
At any rate…Thats 9! I hope you enjoyed this cemetary tour!
What more appropriate title than Willy Nelson’s Beard! http://www.CannaBlogna.com is here to take you on a journey… INTO heaven and hell! Nah…just kidding about that last part! Sit back and enjoy the view!
“”The primary goal of any plant is to create and nurture seeds to be viable for future growth. Trichomes help prevent seed damage from insects, animals, light degradation and fungal disease. In the case of cannabis, trichomes also contain THC, the chemical compound that provides a psychedelic high to humans. THC stands for Tetrahydrocannabinol (C21H30O2). Near the end of the flowering cycle, THC begins to break down and turns into another chemical compound called Cannabinol, or CBN (C21H26O2), in a process known as oxidization. Higher levels of CBN tend to provide a more narcotic or “stoned” feeling, while THC delivers a more euphoric, upbeat “high”. Knowing this, you can examine the trichomes and the pistils of the plant, then choose when you harvest to get the psychoactive effects you desire.”” ~Exerpt from 420 Magazine.
“The Pistil, the female reproductive part of a flower. The pistil, centrally located, typically consists of a swollen base, the ovary, which contains the potential seeds, or ovules; a stalk, or style, arising from the ovary; and a pollen-receptive tip, the stigma, variously shaped and often sticky.” ~ http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/461837/pistil
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin-yang, which is often called “yin and yang”, is used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. … ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang
Several more images to show…Hang in there with me and I’ll show you some more proof of Evolution!
Cannabinoids are produced on the flowers of the female plant in tiny, hair-like trichomes, which brings us to an interesting point…Humans have an endocannabinoid system, which receives cannabinoids into their cell receptor sites! Check this diagram out to see a diagram which explains the Human Endocannabinoid System!
So there ya have it… Proof Darwin had a good theory going on! The plant has evolved along with us! It is JUST a plant, but possibly the most important plant, ever discovered on this polluted planet!
This picture IS GARY BUSEY MIND FUDGE! You can’t deny…it is a mind-FUDGE!
Hope you had fun! Some scientific facts, hopefully a few smiles! Have a great Friday!
Insane Pieces of Art! aggressive artistry Shoved Down Your Throat!
I don’t know the name of the artist and I am glad I don’t. I like to think their art explains who they, the artists, are! This image portrays a strong, sexual person to me. I feel confused by the picture! It makes me think and feel, though not necessarily all positive, it does force me to feel…very conflicted and a little violated!
What else can be said for Angiospermae Insane? The image is awesome. Not much more to say. Enjoy!
Nature always has the finest canvas! Nature supplies all of the elements needed for the perfect painting! This picture is worth millions of words! What else can I possibly say?
This has got to be one of the most awesome tattoos in the world! Enough said!
This is an actual person! Art takes many shapes, forms and dimensions!
I think any artist would agree with this saying. I sure relate to it. Many people, people very close to me…don’t understand me. I am an artist, a writer, a free-thinker, different…atypical! I am labeled a weirdo by some, I’m sure…that doesn’t bother me anymore. I am comfortable in my own, scarred, worn skin! I am NO genius. I am of average intelligence but I am finally free! I am myself and I am free! I make no lies for who I am anymore! Be true to you! Fuck what anyone else thinks! Be yourself. Love yourself. Believe in yourself…no matter how “crazy” society labels you, remember, your NOT crazy…you ARE creatively insane!
This is the kind of art that stimulates dormant parts or under-worked parts of the human brain. That makes this priceless art too!
This piece is so bizarre, so odd, so insane, how could you not love it. It’s raw and human…but so wrong at the same time. It is wrong in the right way.
I hope you have enjoyed a few minutes of art in your day! I know I have. Don’t get bit by any sharks!
Bizarre, Odd, Beautiful and Ugly: Is a picture worth a thousand words?
This picture is so beautifully ackward…The confused expression on the child’s face…the blurred adults in the fore-ground and background… and the child’s hand, waving in a peaceful gesture of greetings…
Technology has made it possible for us to see beauty in ways we have never seen before. Would you think the Caffeine Crystals above would ever come from coffee?
Beauty hides everywhere…so does the BIZARRE.
Bizarre, disturbing, and intriguing. Those are the words that describe this piece to me. I want to know what the artist was feeling when they created this artwork. I want to know what the artist’s meaning was…I guess I will never know, kinda like missing the last, important part of a movie you are engrossed in.
This image caught me off-guard. It took my brain a moment or two, to listen to the information streaming from my optical nerves… Is it a man? Is it a woman? The tatoos…is the person tribal? What is the person doing? So many questions and no real answers…
Odd? I don’t think so. I feel empathy and understanding when I look at this piece of art-work. I enjoy and know what the artist is representing with this picture.
Dessert for your eyeballs! Looking at this artwork is like riding a roller coaster ride! The human brain is almost over-stimulated by the colliding colors!
Many questions arise in my head. What happened to this person? Where is this person? What is the person feeling as they are being photographed for their “abnormality”? I find this image wonderfully abnormal. Different and brave at the same time. I think this person is a living work of art! I see many people this way, the interesting ones anyways.
If only we could all accept each other’s differences and simply, coexist, the world would be a much better place. If we could accept each other for the beautiful, odd, bizarre pieces of art that we all are…If we could be free to just be…our colorful selves, without fear of judgement or persecution. Christians have been persecuted, but what about atheists today? Atheists hide in the dark, afraid or unable to voice their beliefs. Tolerance for all religions. Tolerance for all beliefs. CoExist!
This image is visually stunning. Do you find it offensive? Do you disagree with it because you are a different religion?
Enjoy your canvas…Create whatever you want, you can always find more canvas!
