it's from this artist/photographer named Charlie White. he did this bizarre series/book called Understanding Joshua, featuring this ugly-ass puppet in all sorts of weird social situations.
here are some more pics from the collection. it's hilarious stuff, truly demented. http://www.charliewhite.info/sub/work/2001.html
check out his other collections as well on the rest of his site.
also look up Matthew Barney's Cremaster series/exhibit for even more absurdity. or look up Chris Cunningham's Rubber Johnny on YouTube.

I am very surprised by this news. However, I respect Peter's decision -- I can imagine that it was quite a difficult one. His performances with Opeth were always great, and on the few occasions that I met him, he was very nice, and seemed to have a deep respect for music, and for Opeth's fans. I wish him well, and am looking forward to whatever music he will be involved in next!
As for Opeth...I am not too concerned. They're great musicians, and have a high level of integrity. Also, although it is clear (and important to acknowledge) that other members have contributed, Mikael has been responsible for a lot of the songwriting. In any case, I'm looking forward to what will come next from Opeth. Support!

ohmy god.
I heared this devestating news two days ago.
I know no ones gonna read this, but anyway.
I don't think we will miss peter as a guitar player a lot. We'll miss him as a friend of the band, a good member, who was there from almost the begining, and on all of our favourite albums. He's opeth, not only the players techniqe makes the band. The people do to.
We will all miss peter,and I'm sad to see there are no original band members (original to me is from the bwp era and so on. The band members before aren't big characters to me (don't flame me for this.. I simply like the new stuff more)).
Goodbye dear friend

I read it. And I think I'm gonna miss his nice solos too.
No "original"(BWP->) band members? Ahem... what about Mikael and Martin Mendez?

Withour mike, there's no opeth anyway. And I'm talking future wise, considering mendez will leave some day. (Which of course I very very very much hope he will not)
Why are people taking it for granted that Mendez is going to leave? If he felt so much of an attachment to Lopez, he would have left earlier. He's been in the band for over a decade, i'm sure hes comfortable with his role. Also, his favorite part of being in the band is playing live, so the touring thing isn't a problem for him as far as we know.
