Many people go out of their way to avoid using cramped airplane bathrooms, but we just discovered someone who seeks them out for awesomely creative purposes:

To pass the time during long flights, artist Nina Katchadourian goes to the lavatory, adorns herself in tissue paper costume, and creates hilarious self-portrait photos in the style of Flemish Renaissance paintings. She calls the series Seat Assignment: Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style:

While in the lavatory on a domestic flight in March 2010, I spontaneously put a tissue paper toilet cover seat cover over my head and took a picture in the mirror. The image evoked 15th-century Flemish portraiture. I decided to add more images made in this mode and planned to take advantage of a long-haul flight from San Francisco to Auckland, guessing that there were likely to be long periods of time when no one was using the lavatory on the 14-hour flight. I made several forays to the bathroom from my aisle seat, and by the time we landed I had a large group of new photographs entitled Lavatory Self-Portraits in the Flemish Style.

Today is a special day! We’re doing our first (and probably only) in-depth feature on Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights. Though not particularly baby-related, this triptych is almost certainly the most WTF-worthy, balls-trippingly weird piece of art to come out of the Renaissance era. We’ve collected a few detail shots to illustrate just how fucking bizarre this piece is. Captions can do this masterpiece no justice, so we’ll just leave the images to speak for themselves. Buttflowers.
