“No photography in the gallery,” you repeat constantly, but the flashes continue. Every time it illuminates the paintings, you see the images change. The still lifes display decayed food, the animals come alive, each portrait reveals at least three rows of jagged teeth. . // . The first comic in my new series "Museum Gothic." Museums are a wonderful place to work, but certainly we have all made deals with demons at crossroads to be so lucky as to work here. There is an unspoken trade off to handling fascinating artifacts, collaborating with interesting people, and finding new and innovative ways to interpret art, history, culture, and science. That trade off is found in the day to day activities, where the doldrums mask the hidden horrors in every museum. Check back next week for a new horror. #museums #museum #museummonday #museumgothic #artistsoninstagram #exhibitiondesign
