Animatronic Goat Skulls in Montreal

Yes, I have been a bad blog­ger of late — ignor­ing my blog, not answer­ing emails, writ­ing in a real-life diary instead, etc. I have been in New York and Canada hav­ing what we call a ‘hol­i­day’, what the locals there call a ‘vaca­tion’ and what the US gov­ern­ment calls ‘a valu­able input of tourist money into a flag­ging US economy’.

And here is the most amaz­ing thing I found dur­ing my North Amer­i­can travels.

Yep, more goat skulls! After I spent a good por­tion of this year blog­ging about goat skulls, it was per­fect that in an art gallery in Mon­tréal, Canada I would find mov­ing crea­tures with the heads of dead goats. I watched them for a lot longer than the above video goes on for. The com­bi­na­tion of goat skull with crab claws is inspired.

The artist of these dis­turb­ing (good dis­turb­ing, not bad) exhibits is a local guy called Eric Braün (who does some pretty cool art­work and comics as well).
