yeah, but that's because I made you look at it before! :)

I have this bad habit of doing this. Years ago, there was a magazine (which I don't think is around anymore - or if it is, nobody around here carries it) called FAD Fashion-Art-Design. It was mostly dedicated to fetish and clubwear and the issues I had were designed somewhat like Raygun. In one issue they did a feature on this Italian cemetery where a lot of the bodies are buried sitting up and dressed in their best, with a full-page closeup of one guy's rotting face. I used to play a practical joke on friends where I would get them to close their eyes, and then put the scary picture about 4" from their face, and tell them to open their eyes. Predictability: they'd jump a foot in the air. When I was younger and had a theater obsession, I would take my "Ultimate Phantom of the Opera" book that had a full-page closeup of the makeup under the mask, and I would do the same damn thing. This one is pretty tame... and aside from the creepiness, a really nice painting. So I don't feel too guilty. (you know, someone who constantly does practical jokes actually has a kind of hostile personality...)
