that ^ is what my tumblr archive looks like at present
I had amassed too many items in my queue and drafts, it was becoming rather unwieldy. I wanted to me délester de ses contenus - to relieve myself of its contents. And so, I decided that I would make it a challenge, to blog them according to colour, forcing my mind to see how it would be inspired as a certain image came up. And it has. I’ve almost cleared the nooks and crannies, I’m feeling lighter already, but this little tumblr anthropophage has more to spit out yet.
It was also a feeling of needing to rebel against the appropriation of once-coloured photos, reblogged as somehow artsier black and whites. Seriously. It’s been done. Let’s move on. Leave colour alone. Stop stripping my pictures. So here’s a bit of colour to brighten up the place… enjoy.

Oh, the memories I have of this. I think the last time I was forced to eat soap was the first time I thought it was ok to swear in front of a family member.
Kept that shit under wraps for a few more years after that….

life:
No American art form has ever managed to capture the enduring appeal of the profoundly sordid as neatly as pulp fiction. From the propulsive storylines to the laconic prose to the striking cover art that has, for decades, routinely adorned pulp paperbacks, the genre is edgy pop culture at its most elemental: sex and violence with a side of wry.
Today, one publisher in the U.S. keeps the hard-boiled paperback tradition alive: since 2004, Hard Case Crime has published scores of titles — some of them brand new, others classics of the genre lovingly reprinted for a new audience — each one featuring a cover that, like the tale inside, grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. Here, in partnership with Hard Case, LIFE.com presents a celebration of American pulp fiction, and the gorgeous, lurid cover art that has forever been its visual trademark.
Plus, this book itself is actually really good. I highly recommend it.

This green and growing squelette reminds me of how some early Neanderthals were buried with flowers, signifying early versions of funereal rites, and a potential belief in the afterlife.
