Ghost radar posted a few Lucien Rudaux rarities recently.
Rudaux was best known for his science/astronomy illustrations. I’m happy to see these playful deviations from the norm.

I loved the Looney Tunes episodes that featured Witch Hazel. Adam Dougherty (aka Kreature Kid) made this incredible life size model of the screechy sorceress.
Amazing, no?

A few blog announcements…
1) There is a new FACEBOOK PAGE for instant access to posts as they go up. PLUS, to make it extra interesting, I will be sharing a mixed flurry of arts and oddities on the page that are NOT posted here. So please add or follow.
2) I am removing the disclaimer about my medical issues that has been on the bottom of my posts for the past year.
Typing is still too painful for the most part, but I am convinced that I WILL recover this year (doctor predictions be damned!)…so, although I continue to contend with it, I’m taking the illness off the site, until further notice.
3) There will be a new occasional quote feature (with visuals) to post the wisdom/humor/joy/depth I’ve encountered in the words of others during my period of relative silence. I suppose this takes the blog to a more personal level, via a small window into my brain and the things that move me.
4) With the aid of a dearly helpful friend, I will be opening an online store! First for SWS products, then personal designs when I am once again up to making things. All proceeds go to medical care.
Now let’s all imagine that my healthy will gracefully allow these things to happen! 🙂 Thanks so much for reading…

This is an incredible piece located in The House on the Rock; a…shall we say, quite unique…coin operated tableau made in 1870.

I have plenty to post this week, but my commentary may be extra sparse because on top of my regular medical issues I have what can only be described as a caricature of a cold…I’m the “before” person in the NyQuil commercials. It’s ridiculous.
Anyway, have a look at Meghan Howland’s work.
Many of her images involve birds in flight, obscuring the faces of her subjects…or wild flowers in rampant bloom. Rather fascinating.

Valeria Myrusso creates truly unique pieces of sculptural jewelry…
Full of gorgeous detail and brilliantly crafted, these are perfect for anyone with a penchant for the beautiful and bizarre.
If only I could have one of these in my collection!

I am not zombie or unicorn obsessed…but even I must admit that this was pulled off stunningly well.
See more closeups and angles here.

I love Megan Petasky’s characters…
I’m starting to think I need a “spindly” tag on this blog. Perhaps I’m drawn to these wiry creatures because the sharp angular form is uniquely expressive.
