Manfungus series 1.2
Christian rex Van Minnen
Christian rex Van Minnen paints rather creepy portraits reminiscent of the Old Masters. At first glance, they look human - but these faces are mushrooms, entrails, garbage and tumorous growths. Disturbing, but fascinating, examples of pareidolia.
Via Coilhouse, who compare Van Minnen to Arcimboldo - but, honestly, I like Van Minnen's work much better.

I can't believe that I've never seen the word "pareidolia" before! That might be my best new vocabulary word since "petrichor."

Really? I couldn't see anything humanlike about that image at first glance, and it wasn't until I read the description that I realized that, with a lot of imagination, it kind of vaguely looked human ...
It looks like a dick wearing a hat, with bunch of little dickheads around the base!
[cackles @ Comrade] Yay a new word for my vocab. :)
