You know an artist/crafter has caught your attention when you actually go through 60 pages of flickr to see examples of work. The unbearable cuteness of Lubu’s creations just sucked me in.
I was reminded that I had Lubu bookmarked after using a bot creation in my Vintage Strongman post.
Geeky bots (with cats…bonus!)…

There are bots for absolutely everyone, whether you love pop culture, geek culture, or anything in between.
Ah, we bony creatures must stay warm. Here’s one way to go about it.
See a few more pictures and read some info here.
I’ve just been ogling some creations on Cart Before the Horse. Look at these adorable party skeletons!
They come in three sizes and three color schemes…
Everything on the site is hand crafted and hand painted. This robot is another favorite of mine…
Projects range from sweet folk art characters, to surreal flora and fauna, to slightly dark personalities.
I’ve already posted about Sandra Arteaga’s fabulous dolls, but I must post one of her recent creations.
Two years ago I raved about the Mexican Axolotl (and even made a plushie axolotl for a blog contest winner). Now this bizarre, sweet little creature finds some representation in Ms. Arteaga’s work!
Not exactly sweet…but so strange and intriguing, I can’t look away…
Are you ready for the puppet show of the year? Puppets are not just for children I assure you. I found a great post detailing the as-yet elusive production of The Narrative of Victor Karloch.
The Narrative of Victor Karloch is a non-profit traveling stage show presented in the style of an eerie Victorian triptych puppet theater. The three original stories in the show are about 15 minutes in length and are written in the classic gothic horror tradition of Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, M.R. James and Algernon Blackwood. The show benefits The Art of Elysium, a charity that encourages artists to help children battling serious medical conditions.
[The show] uses 30″ tall rod puppets, traditional shadow puppetry (woodcuts designed by Eisner Award-winning graphic novel artist Gary Gianni), rear-projected elements and full scale insert props to present the adventures of Victor Karloch, an alchemist, scholar, and ghost hunter, as he battles the supernatural forces of the Unknown.
Here is the trailer:
I can’t wait for this production!
I’m not much of a facebooker, but I don’t want to miss information and show listings so I actually joined the film page here.
Check out more info about the production and the star-studded cast here.
Michihiro Matsuoka creates fantastic sculptures; biomechanical steampunk creatures who appear to be made of metal (but are actually clay, assorted objects and acrylic!).
Aren’t they adorable? I’d like a tank full of them that simulates an underwater scene.
