Since then, it&#8217;s been consistently the most treasuried and viewed photo in my shop. At Cooper-Young Festival, I got lots of comments on it. People wanted to know where I took it. It was disappointing to hear that it was a strand of skeleton garland and not a pile of bones I stumbled upon while spelunking. Oh well. <\/p>\n<p>(Note: This photo is in the shop right now as a black and white print. I can easily ship you the color photo above if you prefer it. Just convo me and we&#8217;ll set it up.)<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also this guy, who appeared for a while on the back side of the free-standing Anderton&#8217;s wall after one side was demolished.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3355\/3558153353_5070d4c95c.jpg\" width=\"336\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Day 142: My Demon\"><\/p>\n<p>I have him hung above my toilet at home.
