Antarctic Experiment  
"All in all, the experiment was a brilliant success, though it ran for a shorter time than desired.

Ultimately, the machine had to be shut down prematurely, else we might not have had enough crew to make it comfortably back to port. Over forty Russian tribesmen bravely gave their lives to science this day - a terrible tragedy as they will surely be expensive to replace.

Also lost was an entire crate of ether, carelessly dropped from the edge of a berg in the midst of today's activities - a tragedy on so many levels.

Nevertheless, we saw many wondrous and splendid things this day: creatures and landscapes from the aether danced and swam about us through the air, and we saw the laws of our world temporarily suspended by those of the aether world.

It leaves me to wonder: How closely does the placement of their world correspond with ours? Are these same creatures to be found elsewhere on our planet, or would we perhaps find other inhabitants should the machine be tested in new locations?

What sorts of variants or unique beasts might we see in other locations such as Beijing, Hong Kong, Indonesia, London or perhaps even New York City?

Needless to say, I am beyond eager to see!"

- Professor Aden M. Kemy, Miskatonic Archivist





This giclee, commemorating the event is available while supplies last, in three limited editions of 50: A giclee on Canvas, an archival pigment ink print on heavy metallic stock, and a fine-art rag paper print. All of which 24 inches by 24 inches - the size of the original painting by Myke Amend.

First available, is this limited edition giclee on canvas, printed in archival pigment inks on 200-year archival canvas, coated in a UV-protective and scratch-resistant coating, stretched and mounted for framing.

It comes with a watermarked hahnemuhle certificate of authenticity printed on fine art rag paper, with a matching and serial-numbered hologram on both the back of the giclee print and the certificate.

People should be able to see how incredible this painting looks in person. And the thankless hours. And the incredibly cute squidy in the upper left hand corner that I'm glad you didn't destroy. I've named him Hank Hipper Von Funks, just like the one you just gave me. I miss you already :( Love you airship squidy painter.

Some day, I will have the money to build tube-powered extra-dimensional portals and powerful andochrine stimulators from giant tuning forks, so others might enjoy the world as I do.

Until then, these paintings are the best I can manage.

It is a pity about the ether.

Some day I will come visit you, just so I can see these bad boys in person.

Also, you and the girly are so cute I could puke sepia filtered rainbows.

I really hope we get a chance to visit before you leave.

I'd just come out and sabotage your bus, but that would mean I was in the area anyway and could probably just visit... then sabotage your bus.

Your plane then. Or whatever vehicle would bring you to the airport

... what vehicle would that be again?

Oh man the 25 thousand dollar question. I have a vintage '76 Mercedes Benz 300D. It's faded minty green, and it is SOOO steamy. It's in really, really rough shape. But it's my baby.I love it and it's amazing milage getting never breaking down diesel engine. It is called Trundle. It leaks when it rains. The restoration got put on hold when we decided to move into the RV, but it will be beautiful again. Oh yes.

Hmmmm... Impressive!

I bet you don't know where you park it.
Myke Amend[info]mykeamend on May 15th, 2009 11:22 am (UTC)
... Obviously, you see through my ploy to get you to disclose its location.

Very Well! I will not look for this vehicle in

... umm... where am I not looking for it at?
