I will have to remember step #9 if I ever get a client who wants worms added to his pic.

As disgusting as this is, in the few milliseconds I actually allowed myself to look at it, I couldn't help but appreciate the skill and creativity you put into this monstrosity. Extremely well done.

Frankly, I can't even look at it in large view. The Thumbnail looks brilliantly creepy and from reading remarks above, by braver souls than I, this is another arrestingly good image from visual eyes. I leave now, without looking!! Art can just be too powerful for me sometimes...bawk,bawk,bawk....
