Another look at what’s passing through the revolving door of oddities that is my computer desktop…
There’s nothing funny about a rusty clown head on a gloomy day…
An arguably less common form of sexual harassment…
By William Bezek…this somehow reminds me of the upshot of being an Extra Woman:
How would YOU depict a “surge of evil menace?”
I forgot to include this in my Ric Stultz post, but I love this mechanical seahorse:
Haunted…
Caption contest for this next one?
I actually hadn’t planned to make a blog post right now, but I got wrapped up in the sheer fun of Ric Stultz’s work.
Many birds and sweets…

This German ad campaign for a job search agency features creative interpretations of what goes on behind the scenes in some of the devices we take for granted.
Time to think about your own tough, thankless job. Brilliant!
Actually, I know a few people who probably wouldn’t mind this job:

What is it about the old fashioned clicking of typewriter keys that makes me so weak in the knees? Check out this antiquated device as it accompanies a short orchestral performance by Leroy Anderson:
I came across this informative little tip recently (my broiler is uneven…I will be trying this when I can get enough toast eaters in my house at once):
This “test” reminded me of David Reimondo’s toast art, made of bread cast in resin.

Oh wow…handmade felt and mohair toys that look like they jumped directly out of a Mark Ryden painting! Violetpie’s work is extraordinary.
Look at how expressive these little creatures are…
Her flickr site is a treat in itself, since it contains hundreds of craft projects, along with some creepy doll photography and many interesting artifacts.
I been looking at some tree photography lately (I was inspired after starting a Halloween prop last week…yes…in July). Beth Moon has some spectacular tree images.
I couldn’t put my finger on what was so unique, aside from the striking beauty, until I read about the process:
All photographs are platinum/palladium prints. These metals are hand coated on 100% rag cotton water color paper. Since platinum, like gold, is so stable and permanent, the platinum print is the most archival of any image on paper. A platinum print can last for centuries.
As we know, I have infinite respect for artists who use tangible materials in the digital age. So much soul…

What a brilliant old ad campaign for the Sci-Fi Channel (before it became SyFy):
Yes indeed, monsters and aliens…humans can be frightening and cringe-worthy, can’t they?
I would say these are the images of my dreams, but perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I wish my dreams looked like Veronichka’s work.
There is most certainly a recurring theme that appeals to me: small objects or characters in expansive spaces, often accompanied by images associated with floating and flight.
I love her use of empty space…

I think the design could actually benefit from a few extra spikes. If you’re going to make a coffee machine that resembles a medieval mace, you gotta go ALL out. Am I right?
Strongly consider this design for your torture chamber or dungeon, where a standard “MR. Coffee” pot just wouldn’t do.
The best part of waking up is agony in your cup!
