This filigree skull, entitled Crania Anatomica, by Joshua Harker has completely captured my heart.

They are available in different sizes and materials in his online store. I wish I could treat myself to the tiny one at the moment. On the wish list it goes!

Matthew Sharack makes such stunning architectural ilustrations that I actually went through his entire blog to see all of them.
Narrow buildings packed with windows…ever so slightly askew…towers with delicately crooked spires abound…
His monsters and mad men are wonderful as well.
His blog is filled with fantastic sketches and finished work, so take a look.
Every now and then I get wrapped up in adorable things (hence my recent addition of the YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE CUTE tag). Martin Bregman has a way with sweet, simple design.
A Rumble in the Tummy:
Look at the happy fellows…
If I ever get a mannequin for clothing design, I do believe I will paint some sort of anatomical design on it. here’s an interesting twist on the idea:
PORKTERGEIST!

Have I mentioned that I love interesting dolls and puppets? I like to see the way people give form to the creatures in their heads. I got an email from the creator of The Mutees; handmade balsa wood jointed puppets.
Look at “Rudy the Bull” and the fire in his belly!
Such unique little characters…almost cute…almost disconcerting…

And Everything Else Too posted this great Bride of Frankenstein paper doll set, made in 1964.

I am a card-carrying Mystery Science Theater 3000 geek (I must be, to have started a club). Here are a few of my favorite MST3K creations on Cafe Press.

I love how they got the font correct:
And there were a number of items dedicated to one of my all time favorite characters: ZAP ROWSDOWER
And for the no-nonsense Rowsdower fans, we have the shirt, the sticker and the magnet.
My apologies to those who are unfamiliar with the show. I promise my next post will have more mass appeal (well, for my regular readers anyway).
This video…as far as I can tell…is entirely sincere (despite its suggestions to dress up a dead body, Psycho-style, and keep it in the house). I think any further commentary would ruin it, so just sit back and enjoy. It’s definitely worth two minutes of your time.
My friend The Headless Hearseman, pioneer of monster model kit customs, is putting together an amazing event next month. Resintopia gathers monstrously talented (get it? *nudge nudge*) sculptors and producers from all over the country.
There will be kit displays, contests, trophies, prizes, Q & A sessions, demos…all kinds of fun stuff.
The event takes place June 23rd and 24th, 20 minutes from NYC at the Crowne Plaza, Fairfield, NJ, so mark your calendars East coast monster lovers!
You will see some amazing craftsmanship here, folks. I highly recommend attending if you can make it.
Get all the details here, and take a look at The Headless Hearseman’s work.
I know these awesome pendants by Geek OUTlet are a Resident Evil reference, but I must admit I just adore the concept of wearing encapsulated DNA (which is what I thought this was at first glance).
Glow in the dark!
And in daylight…
These are definitely going on the wish list.
There are other geeky goodies in this store as well.
