This rather horrifying chunk of stop motion surrealism was hidden in the recesses of my mind until my wonderful friend Casey reminded me of it (thanks, Casey!)…

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.

Caramelaw has a portfolio filled with delicious eye candy (literally, I guess).
I think the artist bio says it best:
Caramelaw A.K.A Sheena Aw, is a mad motion graphic designer/video editor by day and a candyland superhero by night…She’s an adventurer, a dreamer and a monster creator. After a hard day’s work in the office during the day, Caramelaw retreats into her studio for a bit of action, making candyart, customizing vinyl toys and dolls.
I want to lock myself in my room and sew plushies out of ALL of these. What I would do with them…I have no idea, except enjoy my bright, fang-filled menagerie.
Jean-Louis Crinon has a series of monstrously cool models of well known characters, but I happen to be partial to his originals.
Crinon claims he began sculpting while watching Killer Klowns from Outer Space which I find a delightful movie for working on inaugural figures.
Candy coated nightmares…oh yes.

Cute crafty robot:
Perfect for Halloween season (or anytime, really):
Clock for the guest room, to make folks feel welcome:
Does anyone know the origin story of this ice cream truck?
If you haven’t heard, divorce rings are becoming…a thing, proving once again that no human milestone…however brutal…can’t be commodified.
Nice…
This has come up on a few favorite blogs now…
Exquisite.
Ghostly beautiful…
An amazing collaboration between Salvador Dali and Elsa Schiaparelli, circa 1938:
