St. EOM and the Land of Mu

The outsider artist Eddie Owens Martin, who called himself St. EOM, spent his latter days smoking large amounts of pot and populating the walls and land of his western Georgia home with images of alien-like creatures he said were from the land of Mu. "I prayed to God to make me different from anyone else in the world," Martin once said to his biographer. "And, by God, I think I succeeded in that prayer." Dubbed Pasaquan, St. EOM's compound of weirdness is now open to the public the last Saturday of each month. The foundation dedicated to restoring the artworks hopes to greatly expand these hours within a few years.
