I think so too but apparently it's the apocalypse? Oops!

I sort of like the idea of a woman clothed in the sun. Has a Goddess Bridget feel to it.

I'm partial to, "Hey cat! Quit licking your butt on the Book of Maccabees, or you get the arrow!"

Cats have no respect for, well, anything really. ;-)

I've bookmarked the site thank you for the find! My favorite image thus far is this one, the dragons with eyeballs on their bodies, which is beyond freaky:

That is a good one. I found the site recently enough that I hadn't seen that one. Thanks for sharing.

Those medieval artists always excelled when it came to nightmares and beasts of Hell but that one is just unlike any I've ever seen. I think it's the verging on realistic detail that really sends it over the edge - Magritte, Dali and all the surrealists put together never came up with anything this astonishing.

Your eyed-dragon image is actually quite disturbing.
