    April 23rd, 2012

    I was taken aback upon looking at this because it feels like someone did a high-contrast caricature of me without my knowledge (if you doubt it, see photo on upper right). Got the hair and my spindly little limbs down…

    Hanging: you’re doing it wrong.

    Files, not piles.

    Has anyone been to the Heinz Haunted House? If so, I want to hear everything about it. Ketchup blood everywhere?

    Chocolate Covered Strychnine! I wonder if fierce convulsions and eventual asphyxiation due to paralysis of neural pathways would be enough to deter me from something covered in chocolate.

    Ten Realms Within the Body (1885). So THIS is what goes on in there. I knew it.

    Ma’am, you have a…oh…nevermind.

    If he were mine, I’d name him “Fluffy.”

    Ah, this piece of street art reminds me of my many evenings spent in the subversive act of reading…my Wild(e) Nights.

    YES!

    How rare to see a cute piece of street art (this one is by MORA):

    A monster I’d like to meet…providing it agrees to stand still long enough for me to read its heads.

    You too, sir? What a coincidence.

    Yikes. It’s about to get violent.

    I seriously hope this is a “brain fog” typo.

    “Let go. Be afraid. You all taste so much better when you’re afraid.”

    Some pretty sweet skills (no artist credited):

    Mmmmm…

    I believe this actually comes from a company that makes theatrical hats. Brilliant.

    Now, I don’t mean to undermine someone’s “art,” but if this scrap of paper sold for $500, I picked the wrong field when I decided to study medicine.

    April 22nd, 2012

    Mark Brown conjures up many pop surrealism delights.

    Ah, the wild cacophony of colorful characters…

    Doesn’t this just make you long for the days of winters?

    So much to look at…

  • ButterflyLove1: Amigurumi

    April 21st, 2012

    I instantly adored this frothing flask paperweight from ButterflyLove1.

    …and this sweet little test tube.

    Cyclops plant: perfect leafy companion.

    Such a cute, unassuming little ghost:

  • Tim Lane

    April 20th, 2012

    Tim Lane’s Memento Mori series is quite interesting.

    What a pinata:

    He has some nice black and white illustrations as well.

    See more here.

  • CMooreGlass

    April 19th, 2012

    A kind reader sent me a link to CMooreGlass; a wonderful collection of hand made made glass pendants inspired by sea creatures.

    Amazing jellyfish pendant (now on my wish list!):

    Sea anemone:

    Each one is unique, and quite beautiful. See more here.

  • Vanessie Art Dolls

    April 18th, 2012

    Vanessie Art Dolls are the work of the talented Esther Verschoor.

    The dolls and outfits are hand crafted from a wide variety of materials. And all real skulls are from animals who have died of natural causes (never killed for food, fur or human use).

    As if the costumes weren’t brilliantly detailed enough, many of the dolls are actually sporting lacy underwear and stockings beneath!

    Some figures are placed within sculptures or scenes…

    Fans of interesting taxidermy and Gothic/Victorian fashion will love these pieces.

    There are so many lovely things to look at in the Vanessie galleries. Have a look!

  • Adam Oehlers

    April 17th, 2012

    Adam Oehlers has a wonderful collection of illustrations and sculpture. His characters are so distinct…so alive…

    Here we have one image from a series of Cinderella Jumprope Rhymes. The rhyme for this one: “Cinderella dressed in Black, killed all the robots with her BLAST ATTACK!” (Where was this when I was a child?)

    This fine fellow comes from a story inspired by a curiosity shop in Norwich (UK) that had a huge owl taking up residence in the back room.

    And this cat is the villain of an upcoming graphic novel (while he does look rather mischeivous, I fear I love cats too much to hold it against him).

    His sculptures are wonderful as well.

  • Pinky Toast

    April 16th, 2012

    I’m getting a little nostalgic for autumn and Halloween treats. I know it’s out of season, but I came across some cute little pumpkin characters by Pinky Toast.

    Pinky Toast also creates many whimsical little doll-like girls, sometimes with a dash of humor or darkness. She describes them as “peppered with pinks, sour pouts, big eyes, raindrops, baby doll dresses, twins, moon balloons, and flying bananas.”

  • Bubbletree Tents

    April 15th, 2012

    The moment I laid eyes on these transparent bubble tents, my mind filled with dreams of spending evenings in the wilderness happily curled up in one of them.

    Above all else, I would love to put a bed and tons of comfy pillows and blankets in this tent and stay in there through fierce thunderstorms.

    Let’s start with a little faux vintage science, shall we?

    Yes. Please.

    I think this cat-erpillar is on my craft to-do list now. You can make it move in many kinds of ways.

    Just your average post-Easter bunny mass suicide (nice work decorating the seasonal isle, guys):

    Best weather forecast ever:

    You know it’s spring when the Chevys start blooming again.

    Grandfather of the Michelin Man

    If the Sears portrait studio offered this, I would totally get in front of a camera.

    A quizzical little Max Ernst piece:

    Excellent ad:

    Love this…

    Truly amazing top hat idea:

    I’d be reluctant to buy these for the sheer amount of lacing required, but this custom painted pair is quite a work of art.

    Cute crafty robot:

    Perfect for Halloween season (or anytime, really):

    Clock for the guest room, to make folks feel welcome:

    Does anyone know the origin story of this ice cream truck?

    If you haven’t heard, divorce rings are becoming…a thing, proving once again that no human milestone…however brutal…can’t be commodified.

    Nice…

    This has come up on a few favorite blogs now…

    Exquisite.

    Ghostly beautiful…

    An amazing collaboration between Salvador Dali and Elsa Schiaparelli, circa 1938:

    And Jesus rides in on a unicorn to save the day…

    Marie Antoinette’s royal beauty regimen was far less time consuming after her loss…
