I’ve brought you X-Ray Lamps before, but here’s another way to bring bones into your home lighting. This one comes from Necrosculptures.
You will also find a chandelier:
I feel there should be a positive descriptive word for bone inspired creations. Osteoriffic? Osteolicious?
I was casually browsing some art, and this picture stopped me dead in my tracks. It captured me as if I were looking into a mirror (strangely, in meditation, I’ve had almost this exact image appear many times).
I still can’t look away from it. She is only a pencil sketch, but she conveys a sense of knowing…of traveling lightly with concentrated life force in her hands.
I was then drawn into the rest of Raul Guerra’s work.
His portfolio contains many girls, morphing into colorful butterflies…
And sympathetic skeletons.
Villains that seem somehow less than villainous…
Love it.

This first image goes out to my fellow lighthearted dancer in darkness Carrie.
Although one might think a narwhal would be out of place in a doughnut shop, the respective designs of those two things are actually quite complementary (narwhals figure quite prominently into her work, undoubtedly because they are amazing).
Other creatures appear where you least expect them.
She does vinyl toy customs as well!
Check out this headpiece by Philip Treacy (no pics at the link…sorry).
I would most likely injure myself I put this on (and would definitely injure others), but you have to admire the construction! Ah, like a gothic ship in the night…
Xeeming (a Ukranian artist whose real name is Dmitri) makes some fun horror art.
Here were have a not-so-pleasant surprise for the sanitation department, come time for trash pickup.
Gather round and let the fiddler play you a tune!
This one reminds me slightly of R.S. Connett (whose work I adore).
The walls are alive…
This student film is totally radical…tubular…clutch. I forgot how many kids had braces back then…or should have had braces. See some Breakfast Club runner-ups discuss their ideas of what fashion is and what it means to them!
My favorite line: “Ska is from England. It’s kinda like Duran Duran, sort of. But they’re kinda like, mediocre to this. They’re not as intense.” *headdesk*
Now THIS is how you hold up a pane of glass for a coffee table! Kirk McGuire has a series of bronze sculpture tables that add a dash of marine adornment to the home.
The octopus is definitely my favorite.
But the giant squid is pretty great, too.
And the leafy sea dragon is a bit more understated, which is nice if you don’t opt for the bold look of cephalopods.
I’ve never considered patterned wallpaper before (my environment tends to be a little “busy” with books and odd trinkets cluttering every free space, so it seemed a touch overstimulating to add designs to the mix). But I’m sold on this Cardiac Wallpaper.
I think this looks lovely. We’ve all heard the expression “If those walls could talk…” The hell with talking; I’d like my walls to rhythmically beat.
I love when artists find the SheWalksSoftly Facebook Page (please add and/or friend suggest it, if you haven’t!) and I get to discover new work I might not have otherwise seen. I’m loving some of these colorfully frenetic pieces by Hernan Faraci.
Some call to mind the art of Ralph Steadman…
IRO Fiber Art has the most beautiful collection of handcrafted butterflies and moths.
The colors and textures are fantastic (click to enlarge). Each one is so unique…
