I apologize if this is in poor taste during such a warm, festive time of year. But I’m pretty floored by these edible marzipan babies.

Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight in LA now has a large of exhibit of art inspired by the TV show Lost.
Even though I don’t follow the series, I enjoyed looking at some of these pieces. I’d imagine they are extra enjoyable for die hard fans of the show.
See the rest of the exhibit here.
Smack in the middle of Christmas crafting, I randomly made this. Vintage paper doll, a book of ghost stories yellowed with age…
I was thrilled to send it to my lovely doppelganger Sarah, along with my wishes of holiday cheer, of course.
And if you feel like hearing a nice, mildly baffling song about a nurse, here’s a great cover of the Failure song “The Nurse Who Loved Me.”

At least this one is intentionally freakish…

The Jesus/Santa combo always irks me. Get your myths right, people.

Here are the living, breathing versions of Santa Claus who showed up in a fun little image search (some are pulled from my old collections). Tomorrow, the non-humans…
I’m not digging this guy’s murderous Charlie Manson glare.

Taken about two seconds before he blacked out from the booze…

The masked Santa always looks like something directly out of a serial killer movie.

Stay tuned…and feel free to contribute more!
I can’t spend an extra penny right now, but I wish I could order one of these fantastic double helix necklaces from Morphologica.
Each piece starts as a sketch on paper, gets digitally modeled and laser cut.
