Where Will I Go When I Die?

This video…as far as I can tell…is entirely sincere (despite its suggestions to dress up a dead body, Psycho-style, and keep it in the house). I think any further commentary would ruin it, so just sit back and enjoy. It’s definitely worth two minutes of your time.

Resintopia: Plastic Model Kit & Statue Expo

shewalkssoftly — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:00:34 +0000

My friend The Headless Hearseman, pioneer of monster model kit customs, is putting together an amazing event next month. Resintopia gathers monstrously talented (get it? *nudge nudge*) sculptors and producers from all over the country.

There will be kit displays, contests, trophies, prizes, Q & A sessions, demos…all kinds of fun stuff.

The event takes place June 23rd and 24th, 20 minutes from NYC at the Crowne Plaza, Fairfield, NJ, so mark your calendars East coast monster lovers!

You will see some amazing craftsmanship here, folks. I highly recommend attending if you can make it.

Get all the details here, and take a look at The Headless Hearseman’s work.

Geek OUTlet

I know these awesome pendants by Geek OUTlet are a Resident Evil reference, but I must admit I just adore the concept of wearing encapsulated DNA (which is what I thought this was at first glance).

Glow in the dark!

And in daylight…

These are definitely going on the wish list.

There are other geeky goodies in this store as well.

Hey guys, remember the Planetary Chocolates I posted about? Well, the company has now come out with a set of Meteorite Chocolates.

Since I can’t read Japanese, I’m afraid I have no further info. But there product page is here.

Muddyskull

Muddyskull has the largest selection of handmade skull cake toppers I’ve ever seen.

Perhaps some people reading this blog have had (or would consider having) spooky wedding accessories. There are many to choose from here!

Muddyskull also makes pendants, earrings and cake toppers coupled with ring bearer plates (pictured below). You can tell I’ve never had to plan a wedding because I didn’t even know what a ring bearer plate was!

See many more here.

Peter Fendrik

There is very little info, and only a few images credited to Peter Fendrik, but I thought I’d share the few I have.

These digital portraits almost look like sculpted art dolls.

Flea Circus!

I wish there were more…

Batman Mask…1920′s style?

shewalkssoftly — Thu, 10 May 2012 13:24:21 +0000

The only words about this piece on Bob Basset’s website were “Batman mask as it could be in 1920.”

Hand crafted from leather, I presume…

What do you think Bat-ophiles? Was this mask hanging in the Bat Closet prior his 1939 debut?

See more pictures and check out other mask creations here.

Sandi Calistro paints lovely girls…and even better, girls with skulls and skeletons.

I rather like the dresses these ladies wear.

So cute…

MST3K Model Kit

shewalkssoftly — Tue, 08 May 2012 16:10:49 +0000

I must thank my friend Fritz (who is running this amazing event next month) for this link. A rare MST3K model kit was released by the Janus Company over a decade ago.

The kit portrays Mike Nelson, the reluctant commander of the SOL for the last half of the series, tightly gripping the steering wheel and confidently looking ahead while his robot friends Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, and Gypsy look on in total abject fear.

I wish the photos were larger. I can’t seem to enlarge them and maintain clarity.

Sculptors Tom Seiler and Jeff Yagher actually traveled to the studio in Minnesota so they could accurately construct this wonderful kit.

What a great discovery for a MST3K fiend like myself! Did anyone have this?

Brain Bulb

Oh, how I love this energy efficient Brain Bulb from Solovyov Design.

I would very much like to have one of these in my home (and it would be rather fitting for my future office as well).
