I have a bit of problem. I only feel “at home” with minor key songs. Thus, I feel most…if not all…major key tunes should be given THIS treatment.
If you know of any other projects like this (or do it yourself and take requests), please share!
Cannot type/talk due to severe illness (all words courtesy of voice software or kind typing helpers)…I read and appreciate all comments…Apologies for not being able to respond.
The Maker is a short tale by Christopher Kezelos, with puppets designed and created by Amanda Louise Spayd. Watch this beautifully haunting story wherein The Maker takes on the most important creation of his life.
Posted by proxy from Dana’s “stuff to blog” queue while she is on medical hiatus. She reads and appreciates all comments…and apologizes for not being able to respond at the moment.
Thomas Kuntz has been touted on this blog before. The automatons this Haxanthrobaticist creates go beyond artistry and technology. This one is very fitting for Valentine’s Day.

Been in love with this version since 1997…
Now this is a love song…
Get a little closer, let it fold
Cut open my sternum and pull
My little ribs around you
Through arms that may be under, under you
I am currently addicted to this ever so perfect fall/winter album filled with dark, melancholy sounds. Spookily delicious…highly recommended…
Thanks to my dear girl Bettie who treated me to this after learning it had been a while on my wish list!
People Too make fantastic whimsical art on sheet music.
Busy little scenes are brought to life on each page…
I love how the notes become structural aspects of the design.

What a lovely little song and video…if you’re into this sort of thing, like I am.
Behold, the Castle Grayskull igloo!

I vaguely remember this special…
Aww…look at this little gentleman from Handmade Stuffs:
A little metallic minimalism:
And for those who don’t want minimalism, a giant ball of Christmas pudding:
Absolutely no comment here. This blog is a family establishment.
Hey…Santa isn’t supposed to be a rugged lumber jack! If this version of our beloved St. Nicholas showed up at my house, I’d give him yard work to do.
If Santa were a Shih Tzu:
And this one appears to have had a run-in with some pepper spray.
He sees you when you’re sleeping…
Now for some beautiful sweets, a gingerbread typewriter:
If anyone has either of these musical gems, please share!
On the other hand, please do NOT send me this album. Oh Scott Weiland…why? I gave STP quite a few spins in my adolescence, but Weiland’s crooning on this album makes me sad, uncomfortable, and a bit embarrassed for him. Go ahead and listen to some samples if you want to see why this is what the bad children should get for Christmas.
Speaking of sad, it looks like this Santa was just released from the burn unit:
One of a series of Christmas illustrations by Graham Wilson (he does some great Christmas/Halloween mashups too).
Proportion? Never heard of it. Santa is magical. He can do what he wants.
A decoration for the Trekkies!
Kitteh refuses to be your holiday prop (I love the hand on the left, presumably going to help…a little too late).
This X-ray tree by Nick Veasey (whom I could have sworn I posted about before, but is not turning up in my searches) would make a wonderful holiday card.
Or if you prefer a glow in the dark variety:
We’ll finish with this amazing Harold Lloyd Christmas tree, recently posted by my friends at Unusual Life.
