Artist's Comments

My friend :iconbrent-long: and I went out for a bike ride last night, and on our trip we came upon an apartment building that was under construction. Being the inquisitive delinquents that we are, we entered the building. I guess since there were no signs posted about trespassing, we weren't really delinquents, but I digress. All that was up at the moment was the frame, so you could walk from room to room between the wood posts. There was no lighting or anything, so we had to use ambient light from outside to make our way around, but as we descended what was to be the back staircase, we noticed light coming up from below.

There was a prefabricated basement at the back of the building that apparently had remained from the building that previously occupied the spot, and apparently someone neglected to turn the lights off down there when they left. Brent and I descended the staircase and turned the corner. There was crap all over the floor. Sawdust, building supplies, cardboard boxes, leaves and other cluttered minutia. But in the middle of one end of the room was...something else.

It was definitely of organic origin, and looked like it was still mildly fresh. After debating for some time, we determined that it looked like a cross between a very beany chili, animal vomit, and the chocolate shell stuff you put on ice cream, which then hardens. To commemorate the bizarre finding, I took a picture. Slightly out of focus, to give the amorphous construct a sense of mystery, just as it's identification perplexed us.

I like how Skeleton shows instead of my name. Did you set that up, or does it have some auto feature to do that? Either way, it's nifty.

The description itself captures the evening and the discovery quite well.

And it's nice to see the picture in full glory. You effectively captured the subtance's mystical qualities. Looking at it now, I regret not having eaten it. Doing so would probably have given me knowledge that few humans can acquire in mortal lives.

Also, I rather like how the cardboard sleeve and "the curb" serve as corner frames. And then that snake-like thing... Everything is divided in such a great way. I dig dug this.

Speaking of, we ought to return there with bicycle pumps and see if we can "pop" the matter on heavy display in this pictorial. If it's not a means to a wise end, then it's probably just a means to a harsh end--that is to say a scary demise--a monster, not unlike the ones the Dig Dug protagonist seeks to destroy.

That or I'm just pulling this out of my ass. And the latter has "nothing" to do with this picture.
