Skelewags

Posted in art, street art with tags , on July 25, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Skelewags is a wonderful little project where art meets environment. Creator Richard Vermaak describes his characters as having a kind of “doomed innocence.”

This started out with the search for interesting textures to use as backdrops for the scenes and quickly progressed to the point of interpreting the surfaces or objects from a different perspective.

Designing within restrictions encourages creativity and right from the start. I established rules pertaining to the creation of the Skelewags. Neither the photographs nor the environments are allowed to be altered, propped or edited in any way.

There is also an Alice in Wonderland series of designs.

I was taken aback upon looking at this because it feels like someone did a high-contrast caricature of me without my knowledge (if you doubt it, see photo on upper right). Got the hair and my spindly little limbs down…

Hanging: you’re doing it wrong.

Files, not piles.

Has anyone been to the Heinz Haunted House? If so, I want to hear everything about it. Ketchup blood everywhere?

Chocolate Covered Strychnine! I wonder if fierce convulsions and eventual asphyxiation due to paralysis of neural pathways would be enough to deter me from something covered in chocolate.

Ten Realms Within the Body (1885). So THIS is what goes on in there. I knew it.

Ma’am, you have a…oh…nevermind.

If he were mine, I’d name him “Fluffy.”

Ah, this piece of street art reminds me of my many evenings spent in the subversive act of reading…my Wild(e) Nights.

YES!

How rare to see a cute piece of street art (this one is by MORA):

A monster I’d like to meet…providing it agrees to stand still long enough for me to read its heads.

You too, sir? What a coincidence.

Yikes. It’s about to get violent.

I seriously hope this is a “brain fog” typo.

“Let go. Be afraid. You all taste so much better when you’re afraid.”

Some pretty sweet skills (no artist credited):

Mmmmm…

I believe this actually comes from a company that makes theatrical hats. Brilliant.

Now, I don’t mean to undermine someone’s “art,” but if this scrap of paper sold for $500, I picked the wrong field when I decided to study medicine.

Shida!

I’m rather fond of some of Shida!’s street art.

Fun fanged creatures, colorfully splashed across walls and outdoor surfaces on four continents thus far…

See more (divided into sets based on location and regular paintings) here.

Ojo Senor

Ojo Senor created a series of illuminated street art installations.

It’s such a simple idea, but the effect is fantastic. I need to start making more crafts that light up.

This is always a bittersweet day to post, since I know there are about a thousand more things I’d like to add…and even more that will turn up over the next day or two.

YES! On not only do we have this treat from the National Banana Association…but now we’ve got the WEENIE WITCH flying into town!

This sad ghost (found here) is a wonderful sad ghost…as far as sad ghosts go.

I was linked to this sombre EP by Forest Mountain Hymnal. Soft, gloomy atmosphere (really, how many times can you hear “Monster Mash” this time of year?). Pause that party mix and give THIS a try.

And for educational purposes we have this richly detailed Movie Monster chart (click here for the full version):

Yes, I always thought Frankenstein’s monster’s only real trouble was his hair.

I know it’s only “street art,” but I kind of want to crawl inside…

I actually found some new additions to my vintage Halloween ad collection in this post. Cigarettes!

I’ve got to hand it to Heidi Klum for not only being really into Halloween, but opting to show some muscle instead of skin:

Let these busts from the Haunted Mansion sing you off into a lovely evening.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
