Okay, here’s one for my you can’t HANDLE the cute tag.
Cuddly Rigor Mortis features a collection of sweet little creeps and misfits.
One of her plush creations was featured in my zombie plush roundup.
The cutest Christmas pudding ever:

I recently came across Sketchbook Jack while searching for various holiday character illustrations.
I really enjoy his rendition of Scrooge and the ghosts:

I wish I had been aware of this work in time for Halloween so I could have featured these snazzy greeting cards (sold at the Jack and Till Etsy store).
Sketchbook Jack’s professional resume is quite impressive. And you can see more illustrations here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to those who celebrate it today! I probably should have done this earlier in the season when folks still had time to order cool holiday decorations and gifts, but…here’s a roundup of some of my favorite spooky crafts this year.
Some great gift tags by ThelronDogMercantile:

Classy skull snowflake ornament by OceannaInWonderland:

I’ve made skeleton gingerbread man ornaments, but this reindeer by Wickedjosixx is an ever better idea!

And here’s another bit of skeletal sweetness that I’ve often thought of making myself. Nutcrackers! By PeachyCheek:

Glowreahhh has these little cuties in a number of different colors:

Embroidered baby bib by MorningTempest:

Card variety pack by TrashBatRaven:

And a cute little card by GinerDead:

Have you ever seen the grim reaper looking so adorable and festive? Card by OnCupcakeMoon:

A cute Goreyesque design from PrinceandPauper:
And this piece from Haunted Nonsense would make a dynamite Christmas card!

Wonderful sculptures by SirCedricsGoodHeads:

Or if you prefer sculptures of the maritime persuasion, there is Lady Cthulhia by WoodedWoods

I hope you are all enjoying the holidays!

Tired of the same old specials on TV? Here are some alternatives.
Let’s kick things off with this warped and wonderful “Spumco Christmas Card,” by Ren and Stimpy mastermind John K.:
I believe this claymation video was supposed to be aired on TV, but was actually cut (perhaps due to the kiddies getting beaten up?):
If not for my dear, talented friend J.E. Larson, I would not have remembered this 1950 rendition of “The Night Before Christmas.” PUPPETS!
Mr. Larson also made sure I didn’t skip the priceless Nativity Scene (this is just the first part, see the youtube sidebar for links to the rest):
And now to go waaaaaaay back to 1898, a simpler time, before Christmas was about Xboxes and iPads:
For those who haven’t seen it, here’s the 1968 Terry Gilliam Christmas Card:
And here’s a suggestion from My Pink Planet; a post-apocalyptic anti-war cartoon in which forest critters rebuild a world after the humans have destroyed it.
We’ll top things off with a gelatin Christmas tree from none other than Charles Phoenix, whom you may remember from his fantastic Fried Cereal video:
