Memorable mammals and other creatures

All images taken from Johan Nieuhofs Gedenkweerdige Brasiliaense zee- en lantreize,  1682.
More can be found here.

Menko – vintage Japanese game cards

Found in a secondhand bookstore in Tokyo.

Based on these I made a poster with some powerful animals: 31 Prime Creatures

Ephemera 1

A collection of personal treasures. The pictures were taken with a rickety old camera.

The man who gave me the catapult carved a cross on it so that the all-seeing-eye might help my aim.

Things I used to wear around my neck: a shark’s tooth, fish vertebrae, a 13 Amp fuse…

Me and my brothers’ teeth.

Amongst these pocket knives is a U.S. army knife given to me by my granddad.
I’ve always imagined it once belonged to a WWII liberator.

1930’s scrapbook

Found this little beauty at a flea market in Amsterdam.
