I think this sculpture by Sung Jae Kim would make a great decoration to haul out at the beginning of summertime.
And from now on, temperatures should be measured on a progressive scale of Pleasant, Warm, Hot, The Popsicles are Terrified!
If you thought you’d probably never witness an ice cream bar having an existential crisis…you thought wrong.
You can see this little guy come to life step by step HERE.
Apologies for skipping a couple days this week, but between huge health setbacks and mold remediation in the SWS house, things are a bit hectic.
What happened on this beach to necessitate a sign like this (well, I guess that’s self-explanatory).
What question did someone ask him to warrant this answer? Ideas?
I’m assuming this is a gag product (the source where I found it said it’s unironic, which was perhaps more entertaining than the ad itself).
Facing the shadow…
I had to look up where this fellow came from. Now I must see Ultraman Tarou. Has anyone seen it?
Well, that’s supportive.
Careful, parents, it could happen to you.
Answer: don’t.
Now THIS cat is a work of art.
“Hey, you’ll never believe where I’m calling from.”
Would you like your home to contain a 5th dimension beyond that which is known to man? A dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity? A middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, that lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge?
Well, you’re in luck. This “life size” Twilight Zone wall decal contains the iconic (eyeconic?) eye and clock from the opening credit sequence, floating in the endless vastness of space.
I’m tempted. Oh yes.
You won’t find too many standard rainbows on this blog, simply because I gravitate toward the darker side of art. But the recent US Supreme Court decision for nationwide marriage equality warrants a special celebration.
Julie Seabrook Ream, a dedicated mother and artist who could never pick a favorite color, has endeavored to make a rainbow collage every day for 100 days.
These collections newly frame the most mundane household objects. Anything can be art in the right hands.
Soapbox side note:
While I’m ashamed to live in a world where race, gender, sexual orientation (or other arbitrary factors determined by the dominant power structure) has any bearing on an individual’s rights or happiness, I’m heartened to see that human beings are evolving enough to begin dissolving our self-created boundaries. Congratulations to the LGBTQ community on an embarrassingly long overdue victory!
When I was a child, occasionally I’d experiment with “shaping” my pencil point in different ways (which involved simply flattening or rounding one side more than the rest).
Salavat Fidai takes the possibilities of pencil points to a whole new level.
He is a master of miniatures (as evidenced by his other work in different categories on his site as well…but the pencils are the most impressive!).
You’ll find iconic buildings and familiar pop culture faces. In other words, the very largest…rendered the very smallest.
4th of July is always littered with pretty firework photos online, but they take on an entirely different quality when shown in a time lapse (some of these have watermarks. For source of others, drag and drop to Google images).
Some are like masses of energy sending out sensory feelers in all directions.
Or examinations under a microscope.
This one could be a deep sea creature.
Happy Twilight Zone Marathon on SyFy Day!
I’ve seen Kamille Freske’s described as “ethereal,” but something about it reminds me of some vintage pulp horror art (which, for me, is a great thing).
Perhaps it’s the cool color palette or the brush technique.
She states:
Art is the ultimate escape for me. It allows me to leave this world for hours, and truly make my dreams come alive. I never grew out of the childhood stage of playing pretend. I am constantly daydreaming, and creating worlds and alternative realities inside my mind.
Art is the way I translate these dreams and fantasies into something tangible, and hopefully relateable. My sincerest hope when presenting my art is that it will instill emotion within the viewer.
The website seems to be down (at least for me) right now, but I still want to share some Pourtensious tea lighting fixtures because they are gravity defying displays of awesome.
I want to make one of these so I can perpetually feel like I’m in a magical place, somewhere down the rabbit hole.
Aside from Beth Gibbon’s haunting vocals (I still adore my old Portishead albums) over Gonga’s sludgy drone metal, this video is so worth watching for horror fans, as it nods to horror classics of yesteryear.
Three words: So. Much. Boris. A little Karloff makes everything better.
