The dark folklore costumes and creations of E the Starling:




Past the wall of gray stones, through the trees,
In a house made of spells, full of books,
With a light in his eye and his mind,
There he waits – the Old Man of the Woods.

It is strange to sleep alone, in a place no one knows….
As through the pipes the water fell, down to the bottom of the well….
Oh Saturn come devour me….
There is an old goat knocking at my windowpane…..
He’s the only human friend I’ve ever had….
Anton Corbijn – master of the surreal 90s music video
