I was recently informed of an artist whose style I rather appreciate. The style involves vibrantly (and somewhat whimsically) colored animals. They may then be cut out to provide a fantastic 3D effect.
Enjoy.

The more observant of you daily readers may have noticed a distinct lack of posts from The Webmaster recently.
She provided me with an explanation, and I am passing it along to you. Apparently, the next one from her will be 1,000th post from The Webmaster, and she feels as though she should do “something” special. Apparently, The Webmaster also has not had time to put together something special for it yet.
There may be something at some point. Or she may realize that the post does not actually mean as much as she may be making it out to be.
Regardless, this is part of the reason why you have seen so few posts from The Webmaster recently.
Have a lovely Tuesday.

As you are presumably aware, it is Halloween. From my understanding, this is a time when unnerving and chilling stories and such are appreciated. As such, I am sharing a fantastic video I recently encountered: Neil Gaiman reading one of his stories out loud.
As a head’s up, this is very appropriate for today. Gaiman is a master story-writer, and his voice is pleasant to listen to.
For those of you who like such things, enjoy.

As you are probably aware, tomorrow is All Hallow’s Eve, or Halloween.
There have been several series and posts on this blog concerning this “holiday”, and I am going to reshare some of them. (After all, hauntings of the past can be appropriate, correct?) These posts have come both from this year (such as the “seasonal music” series that finished yesterday) and previous years.
Enjoy. And have a lovely Sunday.

To finish off the seasonal music week-long series, I am sharing yet another favorite instrumental piece: “Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” (For some reason, it is not letting me embed it in the post.)
This one is not inherently seasonal, but it does have a darker feel to it. I hope you enjoy, and have a lovely Saturday.

To further continue the “seasonal music” series, I am actually going to direct you to a previous post by The Webmaster. At one point, the Webmaster wrote about a creepy Russian lullaby. The song itself involves someone in the child’s house looking for those who do not sleep.
I understand that this is probably not a seasonal one for Russia, but it is certainly seasonally appropriate for the United States. The Russian language itself, if you do not know it, also inherently sounds sinister.
Enjoy.

Today’s seasonal music (again, continuing with the series) is another with lyrics. It is a rendition of “Come Little Children”. The original was from a movie I have not yet seen, called Hocus Pocus.
This particular song is chillingly haunting. It includes ethereal vocalizations and plucked strings, for a downright sinister sound.
I rather enjoy this one, and hope you do, too.

In the further continuation of my seasonally appropriate music series, I am sharing a song sung by a phenomenal barbershop quartet.
As I am sure you could tell from the words “Barbershop Quartet”, this is a different style from the previous three. In fact, there are no non-vocal instruments in this rendition of “Grim Grinning Ghosts”, sung by the Dapper Dans in Disneyland.
They are impressive musicians (even if the editors did decide to distract by including sound effects.) I especially appreciate their bass.
Enjoy. And happy Wednesday.

I am continuing the series on seasonally appropriate music with “In the Hall of the Mountain King”, by Grieg.
This one is slightly different from the others. It does not start with the same type of dissonant strings, or even too fast of a pace. Instead, it is sinister for its low, single-plucked strings, and the deliberate pace it sets at the beginning.
This one is a classic for the season, and I hope you enjoy.

Continuing from yesterday’s post, I have another “Seasonally Appropriate” music suggestion: Danse Macabre by Saint-Sans.
It also has a dissonant, quick strings opening that sets a sinister and spooky tone.
It would also be a terrifying tempo to actually dance to.
It eve starts off with the “Tolling of bells” at the beginning, heard on stringed instrument.
It is a lovely piece for the season, and I hope you enjoy.
