I dare you to watch this slice of religious musical embarrassment without cringing. Also, pretend it’s 1984.
Yes, this is real. No, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys, they are not.

Although there are illustrations and screen prints in the portfolio, I’d like to predominantly focus on Pixel Pancho’s terrific street art.
I can’t resist high quality “mechanorganic” creations (a term I just coined because I desperately need a way to succinctly describe the artistic combinations of mechanical and organic matter I post so often…I should’ve been using this as a tag all along).
So many interesting bits and pieces to explore in each mural…

Tulle isn’t just for prom and wedding dresses. Benjamin Shine uses this gossamer netting to construct large scale portraits with incredible dimension.
He can even show the movement of dance…
Or the complex variegated detail of aging human skin.
Hear him talk a bit about the work here.
Read a few quotes from an interview at my source.

Upon hearing the words “Tooth Fairy,” most of us probably conjure up sweet, fluttering little fairies. Invictus Designs has a different idea:
Yes, kids…all the times you thought this was visiting you in your sleep…
…it was really THIS!
Shhh…don’t tell the others.

Leslie Ann O’Dell uses photography and digital manipulation to create haunting portraiture, often with superimposed landscapes.
All of her pieces seem to create a simultaneous feeling of strength and vulnerability in her subjects.
Although most work incorporates photography, some pieces are entirely constructed/painted/illustrated from imagination.
Dark, delicate, sensual, mystifying…

My kindred spirit Cat referred to Spoon Theory today in a kind comment about my health. I immediately wanted to symbolically give her a special spoon, and the best way I could think to do so was with an image search for the most bizarre renditions of the final Hey Diddle Diddle lines.
Even as a child, I thought this Mother Goose nursery rhyme was truly ridiculous. I guess all nursery rhymes are. But if you need a refresher for this one:
Turns out anthropomorphized plates and flatware inspire a wide spectrum of artistic interpretation, both vintage and modern. Take a look!

Lukas Brezak paints plenty of things other than cats, but I’m going to focus on cats. Because…cats.
Hypnotic…
The following image reminds me of how I often wonder what my little darlings Dr. Morbius and Ms. Nimbus are dreaming. I have yet to dress them in teeny night caps (you might peg me for a cat dresser-upper, but no).
Can you see the resemblance?
He’s grown substantially (into a mushy sweetheart) since his kitten mugshot there, but I still see the fiendish eye gleam daily. Nimbus looks on with her typical nonchalance.
