N.E.W.S. 4 Horsemen

My friend brought me this old compass enclosure, and I made him a diorama of the four horsemen. When I was a kid, my dad told me that the horsemen would ride out in the four directions, NEWS and that’s where the term news originated. While it’s a clever bit of wordplay, the idea that “news” is an acronym for North, East, West, and South is actually a popular folk etymology. It’s just a myth.

Something new! I acquired some full-frame keychain viewers for making dioramas. It worked!

The are suffering.

And a few more graveyard watches, too.
