the end of the world as we know it

  • Jul. 13th, 2009 at 10:39 AM

I'm sorting through some old research files (because this is the kind of thing that's far less difficult/more entertaining than actually writing but still, almost, counts as "work") and came across some of the images I used for an underwater scene in Crashed, and they were so cool that I thought I'd share.

(I'm pretty sure that I found these on io9, and that they're part of some kind of art exhibit, but it was a long time ago, so don't quote me on that.)**















You know when you're in the middle of telling someone a story and you suddenly get that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach as you realize that you've told them this story before and they're just too polite to mention it? I'm starting to wonder if I've actually posted these before (partly because I think they're so amazing that I can't quite imagine not having posted them). But if I've forgotten, there's a good chance most of you have, too, so it'll be almost like you're seeing them for the very first time.

Or you can just smile politely and mock me and my failing memory behind my back.

**Okay, it turns out the file format I saved them in is not uploadable to livejournal, so I had to track them down at the source, which indeed was io9. The exhibit is called the Underwater Sculpture Gallery, and if you live in the West Indies, you can see it for yourself.

Wow, these are all awesome, but I think the last one is the coolest.

That one makes me half-wish I knew how to scuba dive and half-glad I don't!

Those are really awesome and kind of creepy. I really like the third one, mostly because of the lighting.

That's my favorite, too -- I think because to me it looks like some kind of crazy cult meeting, like a voluntary mass sacrifice or something. Super creepy.

Whoa, those pictures are so creepy-cool! No wonder you were inspired by them.

I couldn't believe it when I stumbled across them, b/c it fit so perfectly with what I was trying to write at the time.

Those are incredible! And anyway, if you've posted them before, I've just recently started clicking around here, so they're new to me. And you're lucky, my friends always interupt me when I tell a story I've told before. And they're not always very poliete (that's spelled wrong, isn't it?)...

*smiles guiltily* I actually am that friend who cuts people off in mid-story when I've heard it before. It's one of the reasons I feel so ridiculous when I do it myself! So I guess I deserve whatever I get...

I'm the author of several novels for teens, including HACKING HARVARD, the CHASING YESTERDAY trilogy, and the SEVEN DEADLY SINS series.

My newest book, SKINNED, comes out in September 2008.

Also, I like cupcakes.
