Let me preface this by saying NIN was one of my all time favorite bands and I still love [most of] Trent’s creations. I mean no disrespect, posting a parody.
In a fantastic tribute, Frederick Scott nailed the song writing process.
Or watch, with lyrics:
I adore Vlad Gradobyk’s collection of perfectly cross hatched skulls and skeletons.
His other forte seems to be organic collage…the mingling of flowers, beasts and bones.
Kumpan Alexandr has a small collection of outstanding inhuman creations.
Somehow he simultaneously achieves both a coolness and warmth in his color scheme.
Such interesting organic mutations…
Conjuruer’s Kitchen makes the most majestic macabre morsels I’ve seen.
Yes, this is a cake. They all are.
I find it very interesting…the crossing of gag-worthy subject matter with delicious confections. To eat or not to eat…
The Osteologist’s dream cake:
I was gifted a Conjurer’s Kitchen hand-sculpted white chocolate raven skull by the lovely and talented Tonya Hurley…it’s too beautiful to eat. I keep it on display.
Today I give you an example of how nature flaunts cuteness in the strangest of places, with two examples of Saturniidae.
These babies look like a Furby mated with a Tribble…but they’re so damn adorable, are they not?
Forgotten Hearts: One of a Kind Fine Art Ball Jointed Dolls by AiiS Roman & Gamalier Bravo.
From the artist statement:
I thought faeries lived only in books until they appeared upon my life as vibrant luminous beings. This particular ones are those I call “Borrowers” Mischievous winged spirited water fairies. They love to raid houses when people are not around. They borrow shiny objects and don’t mean to be bad. Borrower fairies have bad memory and forget to give their findings back.
Last night I heard a noise that came from my mom’s antique trinket box.I finally saw them! I catch them playing with my dad’s old watch. I took a picture and they didn’t even noticed.
I’m out West, but my hometown is full of snow right now. Winter weather can be quite bothersome in the practical sense…but it is undoubtedly breathtaking.
No one shows the beautiful essence of winter like the gifted Vivienne Gucwa.
Her eye for capturing the perfect moment in time brings out the luscious, ethereal nature of the bustling urban landscape. She has the vision of an artist and the soul of a poet (often there are lovely musings written with her work).
Dazzling icy eye-food…
This video has been making the blog rounds lately, with good reason. Every now and then (as often as possible) it’s worth stopping to appreciate the awe striking nature of the world’s simplest things.
I’m a bit torn about fashion photography. I love the artistry involved in some shoots, but hate to support the rampant pressure to develop eating disorders in the industry.
Lucia Giacani has a series I can’t help but love. Matching makeup to anatomical models? Yes please!
I really want to do a shoot like this with the anatomical torso model my best friend gave me years ago.
Do you have a favorite fashion photographer?
