I really can’t choose which of Santani’s adorable yet disquieting sculptures to post, so I encourage you to view the whole gallery.
Awww…
Sculptures are made of polymer clay, craft fur and other odds and ends.
Some of the sketches are great as well.
See more here.
I know I already posted some Halloween wedding cakes, but I couldn’t resist snagging a few favorites from the Cake Wrecks Sunday Sweets collections.
I’d like to see a lineup of Universal monster busts from this creator:
Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) is supposedly rather common, though I can’t imagine why.
It’s rare to find a cake this conceptually original. Fantastic!
Some nice Jack-O-Lanterns…
And last but not least…if Dr. Frankenstein were a pastry chef…
I really like how the creator opted for subtle airbrushing over straight up gore. So much more unsettling. Brilliant!
Pumpkinrot pointed me to the Halloween collection of sketches, paintings and sculpture from children’s book artist Rhode Montijo.
I love this image:
Bat wallpaper…always a plus.
See more here.
This little baby buggy tends to circulate every year on various sites. Awww…precious.
Swoon-worthy decoration…
I’d like to see real photos of these:
These as well…
A lovely sculpture by Kate MacDowell:
Ugh…there were always the dreaded houses that dispensed awful Brach’s candy when I was a kid. No one even wanted to trade this stuff.
And arguably even worse…
(I’m not anti-raisin, but this is HALLOWEEN…who wants to gather typical lunchbox fare?)
Definitely an inspirational image for awesome kitschy decoration:
Best passive-aggressive note card ever:
Well, hello there.
One lump, or two?
This is either pretty great, or a sad sign made by a dyslexic man named Brian:
Hang on while I hyperventilate because this collection is so fantastic (wish I had the source!):
Groovy retro style pattern:
Not intended for Halloween…but amazing:
Also unrelated, but this octopus looks monstrously friendly. He’s smiling. At you.
I’ve posted about Andrew Bell here and here already. Now he’s debuted a project I must support: the Candy Corn zombie.
I feel compelled to post this because I find these little tricolor nuggets to be one of the most vile candies in all of creation, and I think it’s quite fitting to craft one that is undead.
This is how pretty much all Candy Corn looks in my head anyway. I’d love a go at that chocolate cookie he’s standing on though.
The iconic characters on Blair Sculpture are perfectly gruesome eye candy for the Halloween season.
Look at this impish Harvest Demon…
And his renditions of well-known creepy figures do not disappoint.
See more on the website, and check out some work-in-progress shots on deviantART.
I’ve posted about Ray’s Pumpkins before (which are works of art themselves), but check out this outstanding sand sculpture!
Without knowing where it came from, I featured one of Carl Warner wonderful meatscapes in this desktop goodies post.
Turns out, there are many more “Landscapes of the Meal” where that came from!
When I first saw these images, I thought they were strictly graphic design, but they are actual sculptures.
Creating an edible landscape takes several days. First designed by selected foods. Then two or three days spent on the construction and landscape photography…each scene is photographed layers. Just a few days spent on retouching and combining all layers and elements of photography.
See more absolutely amazing foodscapes here and on Carl Warner’s website.
I can’t help but revisit and repost certain artists on this blog. Sandra Arteaga is one of them.
I absolutely love her new display, The Funeral of Mr. Cookie.
(Check out the little ice cream baby!)
So twisted and amazing…
Check out some previously selected examples of her work and her Axolotl.
I’ve posted about the Hatbox Ghost before (this fellow has also been an inspiration for jewelry and T-shirts I’ve made). Now Kevin Kidney has fashioned a wonderful maquette for an auction celebrating Walt Disney resort’s 40th anniversary, October 1st.
The sculpture is based on Collin Campbell’s original painting for the famous 1969 Disneyland Record, “The Story and Song from The Haunted Mansion.”
See the artist’s post about Hatbox Ghost here.
