Luminescent lights

First, a thank you to Mir for pointing folks over to my recently released, The Ways of Monsters and Men.

Let’s start the week with some beauty. We’ve all seen the candle-on-a-skull prop that has adorned the desks of insane and otherwise eccentric artists (and geniuses…though some might argue there is no distinction).

But if you, like myself, like to work late into the night, here are some alternatives to this morbid lantern.

Luminent Designs

These are a series of individually designed and crafted lamps, made out of machined brass and polished wood to reflect, as they say it, the individual’s personality, interests and/or decorating scheme.

A couple of my favorites:

While the spider one is as lovely as the rest, I think that during my late nights I’d start seeing it twitch out of the corner of my eye, and the wife would find me huddled in the corner the next morning, whispering, “The spider’s watching me! Always watching…”

What would you have commissioned from them? For me, a Chinese dragon might be fun, or some large feline. Or maybe some manner of Shaolin monk. The choices seem endless.

I see that smile.

    What would you have commissioned from them?

    For me, and various members of my family, someone slouched in Neanderthalic glory in front of a computer screen.

    Yes, pretty close, but the eyes should be dead and staring without actual decomposition being involved. 😀
