Effetto Dylan Dog: le fiabe televisive, le donzelle da salvare e la fila al supermarket : L'altra sera mi siedo in poltrona e, armato di telecomando, inizio a fare zapping . Tra un palloso talent e un un altrettanto palloso dibattito politico, finisco con l'arenarmi su una tv privata , una di quelle reti locali che infestano l'etere appena oltre le Colonne d'Ercole rappresentate dal tasto numero 9 , grande scoglio dello spettatore medio.

No animals are harmed in the making of this art. Each skull is named and comes complete with the story of how its owner lost its life. After a successful career in events marketing, Lauren decided to become an artist after having a vision during a visit to a shaman while traveling.
