Mors Omnes Ex Nobis - by Mike McCuen

A collection of grim original content created and compiled by Mike McCuen. I am an avid taphophile, with a particular interest in the works of Hans Schuler. While the majority of this site consists of my cemetery visits or wandering ruins and wastes, items which have been tagged as 'Creations' will contain my original artwork, craft projects, or other non-cemetery related miscellany. Anything of interest I post which does not fit any other category is tagged as 'Folly.' From time to time I make some of my photos available as royalty-free Clip Art, either under Creative Commons licenses, or in the Public Domain.
