The Fly (who has nothing to do with Jeff Goldblum)
If you asked the fly, whose life I saved yesterday, about the spider whose legs I broke and crushed before drowning this morning, he wouldn’t believe you. You would tell him how I stepped into the shower and felt eight little legs break under my weight. How I lifted my foot and saw its crippled,... Continue Reading →

reblog: Vincent Castiglia
by Constance Ann Fitzgerald
I’ve been incredibly lazy. I’ve been on the couch or in bed watching tv shows and movies and not doing much else that could be deemed “productive” in any way. Since our stolen cable has officially been shut off, I depend on Netflix to entertain me during my laying about. Once I finished watching all the episodes of 30Rock for the seventieth time, it was suggested that I watch a show called Oddities from the Science Channel.
Oddities!? Yes, PLEASE!
I’ve seen all sorts of quack medical devices, mortician’s gear, various types of deformed taxidermy and still born things in jars, plasticized organs, straight jackets and circus sideshow performers. It’s pretty much the greatest thing I have ever seen.
But what REALLY got me was an artist named Vincent Castiglia. He stopped by Obscura to see if they would be interested in selling his paintings.

Six Days, Eighteen Days, ALL the Days.
October 22nd was the 1 year anniversary of the publication of my first novella, Trashland A Go-Go. That's pretty damn exciting. WHAT a year it's been! It's been full of excitement and, more recently, some sadness. But as my year long trial with the New Bizarro Author Series comes to a close, I can't help... Continue Reading →
Attack of the Photo Blog: Hyaena Weekend!
This past weekend I was invited to read at the Hyaena Gallery in sunny Burbank California with Andrew Goldfarb, Cody Goodfellow, Mark Leventhal, Laura Lee Bahr and fellow NBAS-ers Michael Allen Rose and Spike Marlowe. “Invited” is a term I use loosely. Really, I was invited to the event by Michael Allen Rose and had... Continue Reading →
Grimbolina in Stripperland: A Justin Grimbol Adventure
While finishing up my morning correspondence (or...you know, fucking off on facebook) I received a message from my friend and NBAS author Justin Grimbol, who I have vowed to refer to as "Grimbolina" because it makes him sound like a fuzzy pixie, that said "I had a wacky strip club adventure and I thought of...

reblog: the photography of Mariel Clayton
An article I posted to Bizarro Central a while back. I just really wanted Clayton’s work to be featured here too.
by Constance Ann Fitzgerald
When most people think of Barbie they think of something like this:
Pink, girly and filled with fashionable sweetness.
While that is all well and good for little girls (or older girls clinging to nostalgia) doll photographer Mariel Clayton has some more interesting visuals lined up for you.
Which is really just the tip of the iceberg.
Check out the rest of her stunning and vast catalog at www.thephotographymarielclayton.com
