This is a great post khrimson.It reminded me of a trippier
Voynich Manuscript.
Nice way to view it too.

I really dig this creepy stuff, I enjoyed the Being John
Malchovic pseudo-scientific illustrations, too bad I can't
find the site they were hosted on

@mohamed

here it is

@crazone

it's just pretty illustrations really, the author stated
that the text has no real meaning. from wiki:
"Serafini has stated that the script of the Codex is asemic,
that his own experience in writing it was closely similar to
automatic writing, and that what he wanted his alphabet to
convey to the 'reader' is the sensation that children feel
in front of books they cannot yet understand, although they
see that their writing does make sense for grown-ups."

Hey, neat! I've always wanted to look through this book.
It's fun to imagine that there is a world of information
tucked into those pages, even if the language is just
gibberish. Interesting illustrations, my mind wanders with
an explanation of the ecological niche each organism would
fill. Thanks for sharing the link!

hmm, it's really a peculiar work, main inspiration is
obviously Leonardo's codex, but really the closest thing to
this that comes to mind is Escher and Hieronymus Bosch
*shrugs*
