i believe the "skulls, blood ..." image above is actually an elaboration of an image from a black & white photo essay collaboration between surrealist painter salvador dali and photographer phillipe halsman. i'm not sure but i think they teamed up in the 50s. in any case i clipped a copy from an issue of photography today or some photomag like it back in the 70s. i dug the clipping up about 2 years ago (tho i've since lost track of it -- i know it's around here somewhere!) and reproduced it in poser. that image can be found on my website at the following link if the image fails to appear with this response. incidentally, it was produced on a mac 8500/233 with 256mb ram & 8mb vram.
