Snail Art

I hate seeing poor little snails geting stepped on in front of my apartment, so I pimp their pads out…maybe people will notice their bright ass shells and not wanna squish them.

Came home to this little fella after a long day last night; I painted him over two months ago, and he’s still kicking it around my complex.

I wonder how this affects predation rates from things other than human feet…

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
