Visit Beautiful Frankensteinia!

So I've recently discovered Frankensteinia, a blog to satisfy all your Frankenstein needs! And considering how prodigious our Frankenstein needs are here on the Dork Forty... That's really saying something! Alongside articles on anything and everything related to Big Frankie, blogger Pierre Fournier also features some really great artwork and photographs. I've snagged tons of stuff from Frankensteinia for my screen saver, and I thought I'd present three pieces of it here for your edification and approval...

1. Disco Frankenstein! 'Nuff said!


2. The links between Benjamin Franklin and Victor Frankenstein are unmistakable. Both men were early experimenters with electricity, both really liked ladies with insanely big hair, both have the word "frank" in their names... Obviously, the two of them were soul brothers, as has been commemorated in this lovely piece of artwork, available now from the Franklinstein Mint...


3. This painting has been copied so many times it's cliche. But I still love this:


And if you like this stuff, also check out Fournier's photo blog, Are You Monster Crazy?, where he recently featured this picture of Lon Chaney Jr. modelling his Robert Smith costume...
