Gwen Murphy: Foot Fetish

Posted in craft, sculpture with tags , on May 20, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

Due to my severe foot aversion (I hate feet), the phrase “foot fetish” makes me throw up in my mouth a little. But I must honor Gwen Murphy for an amazing series of creations and forgive the title.

Have you ever seen simple garden vegetables that could evoke such a sense of pathos? These little cuties are the work of Nobu Happy Spooky:

I am floored by the micro-craftsmanship that went into Honeydukes Sweet Shop.

Art Donovan Lamps

Posted in craft, glass, home, lighting, sculpture, steampunk with tags , , , , , on May 7, 2013 by shewalkssoftly

Donovan Design has come out with a series of wonderful steampunk lamps. As many of you know, I am loathe to use the term steampunk, but will always give credit where credit is due in terms of fine craftsmanship.

I can’t help liking certain aesthetics of the subculture I can’t entirely get behind. Story of my life, as a kaleidoscope of selected subcultural pieces!

I wouldn’t mind a few of these beauties gracing my home in various places (“wouldn’t mind” is quite an extreme understatement).

Here is another artist claiming “lowbrow” sculpture and artwork. Carl Turner AKA Biscuitboy rolls with Dr. Seuss as a major inspiration; and perhaps a tinge of Warner Brothers and Disney go into his wildlife sculptures. Some of the descriptions Turner gives for each of his creations are worth as much as the visual impact of the “trophies.”

When Dana sent me the link to this website, she directed me to the toilet paper rolls that Anastassia Elias has repurposed into art. If I had these to look at in person, I would be going back and forth with the light for hours–these are so cool when illuminated!

Dana found us one that I find especially fun today. This young artist debuted this particular display at Monsterpalooza, a Hollywood SFX and Monster expo, this past weekend. His VooDoo Witch Doctor is a fun tip of the pith helmet to Disney and the adventure serials of the 1930′s. And check out that 7 foot tall Shock Monster and Frankenstein Monster he did as well. I want this in my Tiki room!

The needles felted sculptures by artist Kiyoshi Mino are as interesting as his personal story. Please enjoy these creatures, and read more on his website.
