I’ve posted about Fernando Vicente before, but this time I’d like to cover his incredible Anatomias series. Look at this collection of gorgeous fembots and their (unlikely though beautifully detailed) inner machinery.
See a few more here.

I came across Brandon Maldonado’s website in an image search for day of the Dead inspired art. What a little treasure trove it was…
There is a great deal of expression in Maldonado’s work. Big eyes, distorted limbs, decorated decay…

I was first enamored with this print from Wall Blank:
This prompted me to search their archives, and sure enough there were a few treats to be found.
World’s most complicated (yet humane) mouse trap:
The site is adding a new print each day for the month of January.

I just want to call attention to my favorite piece by Don Shank: Laboratory Still Life.
I really want a print of this.

A recent Boing Boing post inspired me to dig through my collection of Santa Muerte (Saint Death) images (and grab a new one or two).
I find myself drawn to Santa Muerte imagery because I’m fascinated by Mexcio’s colorful, celebratory reverence for death (a cultural phenomenon rarely exhibited in the US).
I’ve come across some wonderful displays and products.
Some have a slightly morbid flare…
If anyone knows a place in NYC (or online) where I might find some great Santa Muerte artifacts, please share!

The Hand Collector began in 2005, and has since collected many drawings, photographs and art pieces involving the human hand. The creator of the collection draws attention to the hand, not simply as a vehicle for creating art, but as an intriguing artistic subject.
I’ve always found the hand to be a fascinating subject. Hands tell incredible stories.
I haven’t included them here, but there are many wonderful doodles on palms as well.
See the galleries here.

I could wait another 11 months for the Christmas season to roll around again and post this, or just admit that I came upon this series of cards a little late.
Here were have the politicization of Yuletide’s beloved figurehead. Santa is rarely pictured with a machine gun nowadays. I love these ephemeral renditions of an otherwise unchanging legend.
Of course, we also have the delightfully retro-futuristic Russian Space Santa.

Louise Despont conjures up illustrations that play with the minds eye. Filled with meticulous geometry, they evoke old world maps of places that do not exist, blueprints of buildings never built…
Viewing these drawings can feel like stumbling upon the sketches of a mad architect who designs impossible structures. She can design my dreamscapes anytime…

Heather Cox is a fantastically innovative artist and sculptor. I’ve been marveling at her Nonpareil Project, which features shapes sewn into plastic bags and filled with tiny rainbow candy pellets.
Detail:
This woman has such an amazing imagination. Who would think to combine these elements? Genius.
It’s worth going through all of her projects. You’ll find everything from tissue paper to pencil erasers to nail clippers, combined in amazing structures and designs.
Thanks to Haunt Style for reminding me to post this.
