Today we have the lovely monstrous creations of Zach Bellissimo.
More fun stuff here.

Here we have a beautiful case of food imitating t-shirts imitating art. Threadcakes hosts a yearly contest for the best cake creations based on their t-shirts, and this one caught my eye in particular.
Here is the original art:
And here is the cake:
I’ve posted a submission to threadcakes before here and will most likely do so again. It’s great fun to look through the submissions.

I found a great collection of hyper-realistic vintage board game paintings by Tim Liddy.
These oil and enamel creations are impressive…taped edges and all.
The approximate dates are on the bottom of most…
I want to play!

Caramelaw has a portfolio filled with delicious eye candy (literally, I guess).
I think the artist bio says it best:
Caramelaw A.K.A Sheena Aw, is a mad motion graphic designer/video editor by day and a candyland superhero by night…She’s an adventurer, a dreamer and a monster creator. After a hard day’s work in the office during the day, Caramelaw retreats into her studio for a bit of action, making candyart, customizing vinyl toys and dolls.
I want to lock myself in my room and sew plushies out of ALL of these. What I would do with them…I have no idea, except enjoy my bright, fang-filled menagerie.

It looks like I was featured on Freshly Pressed, which has brought some new readers to this blog. If you’re new here…welcome! Please relax and stay a while…like this guy (by Michael Pratt):
Let me entertain you…
The cat does not appear to find this hairstyle flattering.
If swimsuits covered 99% of the body with the finest layered long sleeves and trousers…I’d be more like to wear one in public.
By comparison, this classic striped number looks positively scandalous.
Sea Lions…with human brains.
Violent beatings are always a great way to sell a product.
Few things go together like guns and Christianity…
…or kids and cigarettes.
…or booze and mornings.
Head of marketing campaign: “Don’t you see? We’re not selling a product, we’re selling a lifestyle!“
Let’s look at happy things now, shall we? Like this laxative-dosed child.
I SAID…be happy!
Something tells me the gelatinous fish pie is not going to be the kiddie crowd pleaser this ad implies.
Yes. This is exactly what they do. This…and drool on things.
It’s what all the hipsters are using:
The “Health Belt” does absolute wonders…if you’re a man who happens to be sketched on paper.
What happens when there’s a fight on family portrait day in 1858.
Crazy Cat Lady dreams…
My thoughts originate from a 2″ X 2″ square of brain perpendicular to my eyeballs, in the very center of my forehead.
And if you want to know the depths of a woman’s thoughts, look no further than this handy diagram.
…Well then the whole trip is ruined:
This is a deeply profound message. See it. Feel it. Know it.
Amazing.
Double amazing.
May you all have a knockout day.

Skelewags is a wonderful little project where art meets environment. Creator Richard Vermaak describes his characters as having a kind of “doomed innocence.”
This started out with the search for interesting textures to use as backdrops for the scenes and quickly progressed to the point of interpreting the surfaces or objects from a different perspective.
Designing within restrictions encourages creativity and right from the start. I established rules pertaining to the creation of the Skelewags. Neither the photographs nor the environments are allowed to be altered, propped or edited in any way.
There is also an Alice in Wonderland series of designs.

I just took another look at Luis Toledo’s collages.
They contain many of the elements to which I’m usually drawn. Anatomy, vintage design, concepts of life, death, creatures, dreams and all things in between.

And now for your consideration, a few great illustrations by David Roberts.
He has a collection of colorful childrens book art as well. But of course…I’m a bit partial to the darker black and white pieces.
See more here.

You might look at this and say “Hey Dana…why are you posting a photo of a cute cat? This blog is a place for spooky, odd, artsy things!”
Well, this is not a cat photo. It’s one of Paul Lung’s insanely realistic pencil drawings!
There are some other still life drawings in his portfolio as well…
But let’s not forget that the Internet was invented to show off cats.

I want to go here. So badly.
Anyone know the artist for this?
I do not know this woman, but her batty glasses indicate she’s probably pretty great.
This woman, too…
A child destined for greatness.
I really want this game!
Bats and cats…oh my.
Now let’s get serious and talk about death. Great book title:
And another:
I would absolutely read this one.
Another incredible title.
Does anyone have this? I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I’m curious and intrigued.
The first? Great detective work, Dr. Donohue.
I never knew a mortuary could be so exciting.
“Man describes his sensations while slowly roasting to death”
Rather beautiful antique illustration:
Indication of slightly skewed priorities (read the fine print…she’s upset about her hair).
It may feel like slight indigestion at first, but…
Anyone know where this anthropomorphic poison comes from?
Brilliant!
Serenade…
Lovely death and (a) maiden.
Come in, kiddies. A meaty, cheesy death surely does not await you in the hungry jaws of Mayor McCheese.
Heaven?
Hell?
For the ladies…
I don’t think this ended well.
The end.
