Thanks Rolande-

I just spent an hour looking at believermag.com --not just the Codex lllustrations and commentary, but other stuff as well. Great fun!

As an art history major, I learned about Hieronymous Bosch's fanciful altarpieces---which seemed like another world rife with hidden meanings.

The Codex by Serafni evokes some of the same feelings.

Here's another link, which reminds me a great deal of puppet design -- skeletons waiting for their skin.

Don't know if anyone on the list is familiar with this "codex" -- but it is a 
remarkable piece of work, an encyclopedia of things from another world, written 
in a totally alien language. The creatures described and drawn, the "fashions" 
-- all very surreal, and a great font of inspiration for puppetry.
