Jodi and Richard Creager have been working together for over 35 years, creating wonderful, one of a kind figures. These 1:12th scale doll art characters combine art with whimsy. Here is a sampling of their work. Hope you enjoy it!

I just went through Mark James Porter’s entire blog to check out all of his sculptures (plus art and accompanying sketches).

The Barbie Dream Hearse is a fun alternative to your regular means of transportation. What began as a simple play on words turned into a full-fledged business concept, serving Seattle area ladies (and self-confident gentlemen!) with a unique, avant-garde way to spend the night on the town.

Has anyone ridden in the Barbie Dream Hearse? If so, I’d love to hear about it.
What a lovely little song and video…if you’re into this sort of thing, like I am.
