Scaring the Demons

I've been quite busy looking for jobs (would anyone like to hire me?) and finishing up the first issue of Terracotta Typewriter. You can read the first issue online in PDF format.

For today's photo Friday, I decided to try and scare away all the evil spirits that may be plaguing my endeavors.
This is one of the gates to Wat Pho in Bangkok. I was told that the black coming from the temple guard's mouth is coffee grounds, which is used to make it look like blood. I suppose it works considering how peaceful it is inside the temple.
