The enigmatic and fantastic Thomas Woodruff has released a new project: Freak Parade.
Each detailed piece functions on its own, while connecting to the rest of the “parade.” Animal, vegetable, mineral, musical, ethereal, mythological and fantastical images mingle in these delightfully dark images.
I have to be careful about spending money on too many books, but this one is going on the wish list. I’m sure it looks stunning in print.
See the Freak Parade here.

I recently came across this series of Forensic Pillow designs and couldn’t help thinking they are not the most relaxing things out there.
Imagine walking in on someone sleeping under this:
Okay, the DNA one is pretty cool:
See a few more at Lost City Products.
Now, I love adorable little kawaii designs, but I’m not sure I could relax on this pillow:
Lots of fun designs at Click for Art.
Oh, and I don’t think I could sleep on this one either. I’m not a paranoid girl, but…

‘Nuff said.

I love old educational videos, particularly the low budget variety. In this cautionary tale, two puppets tell us how to avoid hosting parasites.
The main message (overtly stated multiple times) is essentially “Do not defecate in the dirt outside your house.”
Really. They can’t stress that enough.

It’s not often that one gets to drive past a giant rusty dragon lawn ornament…but one lucky photographer found this fellow in Atlanta.
Let this be a reminder to always carry a camera. You never know what you’re going to pass.
Photo captions, anyone?

The art world has been buzzing about Camille Rose Garcia’s illustrations in the new Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
.
Hi-Fructose just had a behind the scenes look that made me all the more eager to get my hands on a copy.
I swear, this woman can do no wrong.
See a few more here.

I’ve had these stored on my computer for a while now. I absolutely love these ultra-geeky science Valentines.
Sorry I no longer have the sources!
To be honest, I had a whole slew of Valentine material to post, but I’m not much in the mood for it. Maybe I’ll do a late post…or wait until next year.
Whatever form love may take in your life today, I hope you’re all enjoying it!

Here are a few Regretsy favorites to commemorate the special day tomorrow.
This card evokes profound gratitude in me…because I know I will not be receiving anything remotely like it. And that’s a beautiful feeling.
I really don’t like to poke fun at anyone’s craft skills (or lack thereof) because I’m the first to admit that not all of my projects are winners, but…this closely resembles my nursery school Valentine efforts.
I wasn’t ready to see this next one. Go ahead and read the description, then click on the uncensored version if you dare.
