Monuments of Human Horror

Today I had a chance to look around Oxford and its wondrous museums. My favourite was The Pitts Rivers Museum, full of anthropological curiosities and morbid relics of times long past.







I'm not sure if I actually learned anything, but I tried my best to absorb as much collective imagery of observable human civilisation as I could. From what I've gathered, this mostly amounts to killing each other, mourning our loved ones and worshipping all manner of strange gods and monsters. This was an uneasy if obvious revelation, so afterwards I went and doodled animals.You know, animals we've killed and stuffed.


I don't know. Here is a picture of a frog with a hat:
