A recent post on Who Killed Bambi introduced me to Derek Nobbs.
His work is a slice of dark Americana (complete with aged paper). Vintage design, calligraphy, skeletons, flora and fauna…lots of wonderful elements.

Christmas came early for me this year, in the form of a truly awesome series of collector’s edition postcards from Wind Up Dreams and Vinyl Nightmares.
I think I’m going to have them framed because I doubt I could actually part with them and send them off as regular postcards.
Some of you may recall my previous post about John Purlia’s haven of incredible kitch and ephemera. He has put together some of my favorite photos of vintage toys and assorted goodies.
John’s Etsy store features a variety of prints ranging from reasonably priced glossy photos to limited edition collectors items.
In addition, I’m thrilled to welcome Wind Up Dreams and Vinyl Nightmares as a SheWalksSoftly sponsor (check out the nifty sidebar link)! It’s really my pleasure to promote artists whose work I enjoy so much.
Visit the website and the Etsy site.

Kira Shaimanova is a 3D artist who constructs subjects and scenes out of clay, then photographs them to make the final product.
I love her sweet and creepy little displays. A fair amount of the undead grace her work…
I first saw her work here.

As long as I posted some scenic watercolor paintings the other day, I might as well post some of an entirely different style.
Tama paints detailed watercolor scenes, usually featuring innocent little girls trapped in the midst of slightly sinister fairy tales.

A Journey Round My Skull posted a series of Harry Clarke illustrations from a 1925 publication of Faust. Quite unique and compelling…
Beautiful, strange, haunting shapes morph into each other, often adorned with the delicate detail of fine art deco…

I rarely post watercolor paintings (I suppose sometimes I associate them with mediocre art plastered on diner and motel walls). But in the right hands, watercolors can create absolutely breathtaking compositions.
Z.L. Feng is one such artist.
It was hard not to post the entire landscape gallery, so see the rest here.

If I were in LA, I’d be sure to attend the Thinkspace 5th Anniversary Show. This show brings together some very talented folks.
See the exhibit here.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has been following my Halloween Countdown, commenting, sharing links, etc. I truly hope that anyone who came across this blog in search of Halloween goodies will stick around after next week. If you’ve enjoyed recent posts, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy the oddities that show up on here during the rest of the year.
Monstrous thanks!

I spent a good hour scouring deviantart.com (so you don’t have to!) for Halloween art and crafts. Here are a few of my favorites…
