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:

Posted in advertising, animation, anthropomorphic, art, creatures, food, halloween, pinup, retro, sea, video, vintage with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on October 31, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I started this post before falling increasingly ill. May still be gone for a bit…I had SO much to share this Halloween…but it’ll just have to wait for now. Here’s what I had so far…

Rockabilly Bride of Frankenstein. Awesome!

I want this shirt:

Sweet…

No one will suspect a thing.

Amazing roundup of Halloween creatures here.

Two great cakes from Cake Wrecks.

And…not so great…

You go, little fella!

Fellow 80′s kids…remember these?

And lastly, the always hilarious AXE COP (featuring Nick Offerman)!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from SheWalksSoftly!

Halloween Countdown: Vintage by Crystal

Posted in absurd, anthropomorphic, candy coated nightmares, craft, halloween with tags , , , , on October 11, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

These “pumpkin patch babies” from Vintage by Crystal are slightly…unnerving…

But here’s the one that really throws me for a loop: “Needle Felted Halloween Pumpkin Patch Baby Doll with Full Body and Mouse Licking Face”

Something about the pumpkin/baby combo falls short of endearing, but I adore the shock value and discomfort of it all.

See more here.

Bo Reudler: Slow White

Posted in anthropomorphic, furniture, sculpture with tags , , on September 18, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Pumpkin Rot recently featured Bo Reudler’s Slow White furniture series.

Clearly, form trumps function…and the form is just a tad offbeat and obscure. My vivid imagination immediately envisioned that these are the outcasts of the furniture factory, who escape into the night to be happy misfits together.

They explore the forest and revel in their curves, knots and organically shaped pieces…so divinely unlike their homogenous factory counterparts.

This one is making a wish as he glances toward the sky…

A chair enjoys a quiet meditative moment before rejoining the others…

Grand…mother Clock?

Posted in anthropomorphic, antiques, home, surreal with tags , , , on September 12, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I wish I knew more about this photo.

Antique clocks have such charm, and some truly unique ones do exist (though for all I know, this one could be a recent sculpture project). If anyone knows the origin of this clock, or has photos/suggestions for other interesting ones, please let me know!

Desktop Goodies 7/8

I want to go here. So badly.

Anyone know the artist for this?

I do not know this woman, but her batty glasses indicate she’s probably pretty great.

This woman, too…

A child destined for greatness.

I really want this game!

Bats and cats…oh my.

Now let’s get serious and talk about death. Great book title:

And another:

I would absolutely read this one.

Another incredible title.

Does anyone have this? I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I’m curious and intrigued.

The first? Great detective work, Dr. Donohue.

I never knew a mortuary could be so exciting.

“Man describes his sensations while slowly roasting to death”

Rather beautiful antique illustration:

Indication of slightly skewed priorities (read the fine print…she’s upset about her hair).

It may feel like slight indigestion at first, but…

Anyone know where this anthropomorphic poison comes from?

Brilliant!

Serenade…

Lovely death and (a) maiden.

Come in, kiddies. A meaty, cheesy death surely does not await you in the hungry jaws of Mayor McCheese.

Heaven?

Hell?

For the ladies…

I don’t think this ended well.

The end.

Easter Desktop Goodies Part 1

Posted in absurd, anatomy, anthropomorphic, art, candy coated nightmares, craft, easter, food, humor, jewelry, kitsch, monsters, photography, plush, products, vintage, you can't handle the cute with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 6, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Just a few pre=Easter treats sitting on my desktop at the moment…

Ah, some evil bunny soap for the guest bathroom:

By Felipe Bedoya (I’ve never seen bunnies look this…high…but they appear to be enjoying their little party):

Aww…

So deadly…

Just tiptoe away.

Bunny is dressing up his taxidermy human again.

Clock-bellied…but kind of neat:

While we’re on the topic of bellies, why not fashion this bread bowl and let your guests scoop the creamy innards from a poor eviscerated rabbit?

Um…I guess that’s better than human innards adorned with some kind of rabbit bride ensemble.

I’m not sure if I’ve posted this…but it’s amazing.

I would love to see the creature casting this shadow.

Show offs:

As far as kitschy holiday jewelry goes, this may be the finest thing that plastic can offer:

No amount of novelty could make this a good cake idea. One of the best things about cake is that you never have to peel it or bite into bits of shell.

Speaking of cake, here’s one for all of your sheep-rabbit needs:

Now this I could use as a centerpiece:

Perfect felted Easter eggs! Does anyone know the artist?

Adorable black bunny from Violetpie who also does some sweet Halloween creations.

More to come…

Impromptu Groundhog Day Megapost II

Posted in absurd, anatomy, anthropomorphic, art, Books, craft, creatures, ephemera, humor, kitsch, taxidermy, vintage with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on February 2, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I never intend to post about this holiday, but I once again got wrapped up in some nifty searches.

How about a few vintage treats to start?

Is the groundhog the instructor, or part of the recipe?

“Nice marmot.”

I’ve learned that anything can be turned into an occasion for beer. Too bad I don’t like beer. Where are the Groundhog Day chocolate parties?

How about a little “art?”

Punxsutawney Phil the Seer of Seers:

King Henry Groundhog (hm?):

How about a painted groundhog tart pan? My goodness, this is depressing.

At least this soap is a bit more cheerful.

This poor guy looks like he’s undergoing an uncomfortable medical procedure.

Colorful…postmodern…

And now for your daily dose of euphemism: the Jolly Groundhog:

Innnnnnnteresting…(I love how this next one is available on “Fine Art America”).

Now this, I really like:

Bloody Groundhog Day:

You better recognize.

And a little taxidermy…

GAH! (The store this comes from is actually pretty great)

His posture is sublime:

The groundhog saw his shadow this morning, so that means six more weeks of…this?

In closing…

Don’t miss the absurd finds on last year’s Groundhog Day post!

Christmas Desktop Goodies

Posted in absurd, advertising, anatomy, anthropomorphic, antiques, candy coated nightmares, christmas, ephemera, food, humor, monsters, thrift horror, vintage with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on December 20, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

My desktop is especially cluttered with treats right now, but I’ll choose a few to share…

I have a massive collection of vintage Krampus greetings, but this one (shared by my friend Kevin) was new to me this year. It is perhaps one of the most ominous holiday greetings in existence.

I suppose there’s also this:

Well, I guess THIS could happen too.

Santa, eat some cookies. This doesn’t look…natural.

Santa’s true anatomy is clearly documented here:

And here:

Hot.

Much jolly-ness…

“Have a Living Christmas Tree Ornament in the House.” Yes folks, remember that pets are nothing more than objects to adorn for your own amusement (I’ve had a few retrospectively comedic instances of people not picking up on my sarcasm, but anyone who has followed this blog knows I adore and respect pets more than most humans).

In the mid 20th century it was proper etiquette to smile during imminent danger.

Okay kids, on the count of three, smile and say FIERY HORROR!

Speaking of…

Ice cream on a tree? I like the way you think.

For some reason I really enjoy this old catalog page, despite not actually liking most of the candy in it (people choose hard candies when chocolate exists?). Points for aesthetics though.

Now for an EEEEEEVIL twist:

And from my Sinister Gift Guide:

Sorry abomindable snowman…I find you kind of adorable.
