UPDATE!!

The Art of the Beautiful~Grotesque Posterous which fed this blog has now been deleted (along with all other Posterous blogs, Twitter directly to blame) but much of the content is still available to view as an archive on this blog.
The sharing of  imagery however continues in fits and bursts at the following Tumblr sites

The Sepia Path ~ Symbolist, Visionary,  mythic art & Illustration etc.

Pulp Flesh ~ Pulp, sci-fi, horror, comic arts etc.

The Mist~Gates ~ Strange and atmospheric photography and movie stills etc.

The Art of Andy Paciorek ~ my own art, book illustration and photography

Pop over to any of them any time ;)

Cheers and All the Best :)

Death of the Beautiful~Grotesque?

The Posterous blogging platform and therefore Art of The Beautiful~Grotesque is due to be permanantly closed down on April 30 2013 and all content will be deleted.

I am attempting to transfer all material posted here to another blogging platform (though am currently facing technical details with the process - if I manage, I will update this post with the new web address).

Any new blog may however be an archive of previously posted material, as though I am not fully decided, I think that now, for a number of reasons may be an apt time for me to retire from all wider art blogging. (Though I will still maintain on occassion new posts of my own artwork and photography at  http://andypaciorek.tumblr.com/ )

Hope you have enjoyed the images and movies etc posted on the Art of the Beautiful~Grotesque and Thank You for your visits. Until April 30, please continue to revisit your favourite posts and download any images you particularly may like whilst there is still chance.

If an archive blog does get created, I will post the details here before the Posterous closure.

Cheers and all the Best ~

Andy

Weird Menace also known as Shudder Pulp is a sub-genre of Pulp horror fiction popular in magazines of the 1930's and 40's. Often integrating elements of detective crime thriller, a frequent motif of Weird Menace were the valiant efforts of heroes to rescue pretty women from the clutches of possibly supernatural, but definitely deviant, warped, cruel and weird sadists and monsters,

Popular Weird Menace magazines included Terror Tales, Horror Stories, Dime Mystery and Sinister Stories.
