The Link Dump of Dr. Caligari
Monsters of New York – Wonderful images of whimsical monsters added to photos taken around New York City.
The Haunted Garden – Odd little Tumblr devoted to botanical myths and legends.
A Book is a Sneeze – Letter from E.B. White discussing Charlotte’s Web which includes some lovely thoughts about spiders.
The Gibson Girl’s Guide to Make-Up – A guide to historical makeup, with suggestions for period-inspired looks.
Omar Rayyan – Artist who specializes in wonderfully surreal paintings. I particularly like his Contessa with Squid.
Bat Molding – The subtle bat relief on the Penn Mutual building is lovely.
12 Horrifying Photos of Clowns – Vintage photos of clowns that will haunt your dreams. These would make excellent Facebook banners.
Deer Jaw Glasses – It’s a pity these were just done for a show and aren’t for sale.
Victorian Poop Table – Made of poop, that is; specifically coprolites. Also technically Georgian rather than Victorian. Whatever. It’s neat.
Freedom – The Carousel – Pretty artwork by Anne Wipf.

My second favorite animal is the Wolpertinger, the German cousin to the jackalope, making the jackalope pretty high on my list of Awesome Things. Thank you for the beautiful painting of it! It’s so rare to see one surrounded by rabbits—I had thought they were natural enemies.
Further proof that everything in French sounds like a poem:
Now all we need is sad jazz.
