Straight for the ewww | Charles Burns’s Black Hole in the real world
Photo by Max Oppenheim, make-up I can't look at very long by Bill Turpin
Photographer Max Oppenheim and prosthetics artist Bill Turpin‘s recreations of the “yearbook photos” found in Charles Burns’s teen-sex-horror graphic novel Black Hole are spreading around the nerd Internet like the teen plague itself. You can find a couple at the Fantagraphics blog, and a couple more at Boing Boing, and a few more at io9, and the whole set at The Operators. Oppenheim and Turpin created the images for British magazine 125, but they’ll be on permanent display in my nightmares.

Had trouble ever seeing that book in live action before, but now…just pop that make-up in high contrast B&W and you’ve a ERASERHEAD-level unsettling film there.
