knitted car reminds me of an whimsical bent wire car i saw at a paris auto show as a kid. its weblike complexity fascinated me but i also found it subtly disturbing. wish i could find a picture...
a few years later, when i was 7 or so, i had a terrible fever during which i hallucinated not only pulsating black holes that would open in the floor to swallow people, but that everything around me had turned into these insanely complex constructions of translucent webbing, fractal things in which every intersection unspun to reveal a thousand more. here that sense of "subtly disturbing" intricacy was blown open into screaming terror, as the incomprehensibility of this new world seemed both wrathful and profoundly evil to me. probably as close as i've ever come to being truly insane (debatable, of course), and my only real brush with something like trypophobia.
the holes part was a lot like (and perhaps influenced by?) this:

That depends on whether you were alive when the Yellow Submarine was made. (I'm pretty sure that is from that movie.)

yeah, buff, that painting is pretty close.
i was born the year before yellow sub came out, but i think we had the soundtrack album and/or a picture book. my mom was a huge beatles fan so i grew up w that stuff.

oh hey, turns out the sculpture i mentioned earlier is called "vintage car of the future" and was built by frederick rowland emett:

It looks like a giant insect. If this is supposed to be a car, where in the hell do you sit?
Your mom and I must be close in age. The Beatles came to America when I was in high school in the early 60's.

The painting of the guy with red hair is from a phobia website. Obviously, this one represents trypophobia.

please for the betterment of mankind lock this thread.
ignoring a phobia doesn't make it go away. at best you can just hide it away for a long time until it inevitably sprouts up stronger than ever in a sickening mass of clusters and holes and pods and baby toads that take over your brane. better just to put it all out in the open and let exposure therapy do its trick.
― gtforia estfufan (unregistered), Wednesday, 8 June 2011 01:14 (thirteen years ago) link
i.e. pretty soon you are so desensitized to holes, cluster, etc. that you begin to dream of a career as a beekeeper or something.

the comic is "holes" or "punctures" by shintaro kago. it's about a guy who is so afraid of getting holes in things,he pre-emptively puts holes in everything.
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 01:38 (thirteen years ago) link
oops, assumed it was from junji ito's uzumaki, even though i didn't recognize the image (haven't read all 3 volumes). duh, lol.

kaga's stuff doesn't look anything like ito's, after all. he's a much cleaner draftsman, for one thing, and his layout are amazing! need to track some of his books down, as i've seen his art in various places for ages w/out realizing it.

nah, I think it's probably a real, undoctored photo. it looks like the piercing has forced the boy's mouth into a raised-up frown so that his bottom lip is level with his upper teeth. I can contort my mouth into the same position without difficulty.
many people on the snopes forum seem to think it's real, not that they're necessarily experts.
