Rune Olsen's twisting sculptures

I'm pretty taken with the sculptural work of Rune Olsen, which revels in a kind of twisting, arching form that lodges somewhere between titillating and disgusting. Link (via JWZ)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

A sculptural representation of “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife”. Exquisite, but not original.

Originality is vastly overrated.
Unfortunately, so are seafood fetishes.

I had no idea Corey was a Hentai fan.

Obscurica got it in one. Yay, Hokusai.

Here’s the original.
Skwid

I met a lovely young lady at a Burn event recently who, upon my introducing myself as Skwid, immediately began removing her pants. This being a somewhat more enthusiastic response than usual, I was surprised, but she just wanted to show me the large and impressively detailed tattoo of “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife” she had on her hip.
