I’d love a copy of this.

This was the ONLY way to play with Weebles back in the day!

“Hey…would you cut me a slice of that potato salad?” I’m not sure why the mid-20th Century as a whole felt that all food was better served molded and congealed.

Maybe Snuggles can cook up something better.

Now THIS is a great piece of food!

My kinda cookbook…

Clearly the world’s most amazing self-help book:

And a book I want very badly!

A book that the occasional SheWalksSoftly reader might have actually had:

Why it pays to be nice…

“Hang on…I have to put my face on.”

An accessory for the man about town:

And quite the dress design…

I’m intrigued…

I never expected a Mighty Dark-Winged Avenging Lord of Chaos to be named “Bryan.”

Pleasant dreams, kiddies…

It seems I had a bunch of images lined up to post, so expect another Desktop Goodies installment soon…

Matthew Sharack makes such stunning architectural ilustrations that I actually went through his entire blog to see all of them.

Narrow buildings packed with windows…ever so slightly askew…towers with delicately crooked spires abound…

His monsters and mad men are wonderful as well.

His blog is filled with fantastic sketches and finished work, so take a look.

Posted in anatomy, art, you can't handle the cute with tags , , on May 21, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Every now and then I get wrapped up in adorable things (hence my recent addition of the YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE CUTE tag). Martin Bregman has a way with sweet, simple design.

A Rumble in the Tummy:

Look at the happy fellows…

If I ever get a mannequin for clothing design, I do believe I will paint some sort of anatomical design on it. here’s an interesting twist on the idea:

PORKTERGEIST!

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…

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

I rather like the dresses these ladies wear.

So cute…

I can’t even decide which of Kate Baylay’s illustrations to post. She covers Russian fairy tales, Roald Dahl, F. Scott Fitzgerald, among others…

Love her style…all the wonderful, gangly, angular characters…

Perfect Gatsby illustration:

I highly encourage you to visit AM Konahin’s deviantART page to view these pieces in their large sizes.

They are all done in striking detail with pen dipped in India ink.

People Too: Sheet Music Art

Posted in art, music with tags , on May 2, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

People Too make fantastic whimsical art on sheet music.

Busy little scenes are brought to life on each page…

I love how the notes become structural aspects of the design.

Posted in architecture, art, decay with tags , , on April 29, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I just spent a while letting my eyes wander in Gerard Trignac’s galleries.

Much of his work is centered around architectural structures.

They are shadowy mixes of classic form and industrial grit, often devoid of human inhabitants; abandoned, yet complex and teeming with life.

Such beauty mingling with decay…
