These doughnut paintings by Emily Eveleth…do something to me.
Pastries…larger than life…
I love jelly doughnuts with a passion. When I see these giants, I want to crawl inside them and just eat until I’m free. They look so soft and delicious.
It’s almost tempting to give them personalities.
Please tell me I’m not the only one salivating here.

Vladimir Denshchikov, Ukranian theater actor and teacher, took up an incredible hobby after suffering a stroke in 2007: macrame religious scenes.
With the exception of the faces, each scene is constructed entirely out of millions of knots. He uses no special tools, and even hand makes the thread from linen cloth!
Kudos to Mr. Denshchikov for beautifully mastering such an intricate craft after his health setback. Most people just watch a lot of reality TV while recoverin these days.
See a couple more photos and read a bit more at the source.

Although this 1937 cartoon is a blatant ripoff of the original Skeleton Dance made in 1929…I don’t care. I still love it. Go ahead…try not to find it adorable!

Let’s start with an amazing
real life Batmobilepig shaped food truck! I’ve never seen anything like this. Completely awesome.
And speaking of bats, this was actually a political cartoon of yesteryear:
When was the last time you saw a bat in striped boxer shorts?
Does anyone know the artist for this painting? I love the color scheme and lighting.
Excellent parenting:
“Gee, it’d be mighty swell if you’d be my date for the apocalypse!”
I feel like I’m looking into my future:
Don’t be fooled by brilliant marketing, ladies…I’ve worn apple scented perfume for 15 years and have yet to be bitten.
Who are YOU going to believe?
Where I sneak away at night…
Next time you’re on a boat, remember that this is exactly what’s going on underneath you.
LOVE these gentle specters:
A photo that takes my breath away:
This is an actual Victorian dress, as far as I know. I’d love to meet the woman who wore this color during that era.
And while we’re on the topic of vintage attire, this is what women used to wear before we only had the option of prepackaged “slutty hornet.”
(2012 versions often cover less than a swimsuit and have titles like “Queen Bee-otch”…I’m not kidding)The “magpie” costume actually looks very much like my prom dress in 1997.
This costume beats them all though (insert choice pun about “hamming it up”).
The end.

I have a tendency to wish that sculptures, installations and other fictional artistic creations were real. Case in point: this cabin.
Using a nineteenth-century architectural style and vintage building materials, the structure is both homage to the romantic spirit of the Western Myth and a commentary on the arrogance of Westward expansion.
Although this is just an installation, I think it’s a fantastic guest house idea. I do understand the commentary imbedded in such a structure, but I happen to like it aesthetically in its own right.

I love when my frustration at finding a great uncredited image is mitigated by that very image popping up in an artist portfolio I happen to be browsing.
I saw the following piece last year and had no idea that Pat Perry was responsible for it.
His work is positively overflowing with surreal detail.
Such an oddly innovative use of space and subject matter in these portraits…
I actually find this image rather heartbreaking.

I’d love to get my hands on a copy of Great Tales Of Horror And Suspense, illustrated by Harry Borgman in 1974.
The style is wonderful, and I’m digging his use of a single color in black and white images.
