Aof Smith’s is filled with wide, crooked eyes…nebulous childhood memories, amplified and distorted.
Amid the manic, twisted toys, we find real shreds of deep emotion (some pieces, not pictured here, are more somber and contemplative).
Shiny chaos…

Ah yes, time for another installment of my strange compulsion to post all things Alien N’ Predator. Here are two great LEGO portraits by Grantmaster. Predator is definitely my favorite.

I recently came across a post displaying Xuan Loc Xuan’s series of Chinese zodiac paintings.
They are so fluid and gorgeously symbolic…my eyes can’t help but follow the winding paths through each piece.
Do you follow Chinese astrology? I never got into it, but know I’m the year of the sheep.

Today I bring you the otherworldly little girls of Latyll.
I was tempted to turn this right side up for a better view, but given the signature, it seems the artist intended it to be inverted,
This was the first painting from Latyll I saw, and was caught off guard by the degree of emotion it conveys.

I couldn’t choose which link to post…so have a bunch!
What those dead bird holiday cards I posted the other day actually mean.

Most of the pics in this post require no comment…but don’t skip this androgynous, anthropomorphic pothead (see what I did there?). I find its lean, wiry body very disconcerting.

If you happen to be into the presentation aspect of gift gifting, Norman’s Printery has some stunning wrapping paper.
These…ohhhh, these astronomy themes…just make me swoon.
Wrapping paper seems like a trivial thing, but it can certainly make an impression. I used to make my own fairly often. And I’ll never forget an occasion when I told a loved one about a dream of mine featuring white spiders…and soon after received a gift wrapped in custom black paper with white spiders on it.

A while back I posted about popular songs getting the minor key treatment (which is great for someone like me, who has a bright heart but loves dark things).
The Gregory Brothers have turned Jingle Bells into a somber tune, sure to bring a little melancholy to your holiday.

Although I’m featuring a Krampus design, Bombastitch has an array of clever cross stitch patterns.
I’d love this fellow to grace my walls. He’s very classy.
Bonus Larry David:

Can anyone possibly explain this to me?
At least this somewhat qualifies as “merry.”
THIS…on the other hand…
Not sure I really want to hear what anthropomorphic cats sounds like when they’re belting out Christmas carols.
Totally jolly.
Um…WHAT?
Nothing says joy like a dead bird against a stark background. One can feel the Christmas spirit emanating from his withered, dead feet.
This dog got the official Red Rider BB Gun he wished for.
Ah, the yuletide avian Frankenstein mob.
These ornaments have anger issues.
