Think back, if you will, to the works of art you created at age twelve or thirteen. For many, perhaps most of us, our output at that stage of adolescence amounted to directionless doodles, chaotic comics, and a few unsteady-at-best school projects.

      Osculum infame is a witch’s supposed ritual greeting upon meeting with the Devil. The name means the ‘shameful kiss’ or ‘kiss of shame’, since it involved kissing the devil’s anus, his “other” mouth.

        sick and bizarre shit like this warms my heart - we’re not fucked up and strange at all compared to our ancestors.

    A few years ago, the Met had a Michelangelo exhibit, and displayed this painting. It’s fairly small, about the size of a standard sheet of paper, and the colors are so vibrant, it looks like it was painted yesterday. A really remarkable painting, especially for a kid.
