It’s time for Brooklyn’s MF Gallery annual toy show!
If you’re in the area, go see some creepy, cuddly, bony, fuzzy little monsters!
You can see some of the exhibit online here, but these are probably fun to see in person.

Kate Rohde creates colorful sculptures and installations that hover somewhere between taxidermy and rainbow colored kitsch.
I’m not always one for bright colors, but I love the way she coordinates her color schemes in these pieces.

I’m always drawn to any kind of angler fish art or sculpture (it’s a bit like my odd penchant for Predator). Kezeff has a wonderful handmade model of this special fish in his gallery:
If you like this, check out the felted angler and Cuddles (a quick project of mine that is nowhere near as awesome).
A couple other favorites from Kezeff…
And very reminiscent of Stephen Gammell illustration…

This is one of the greatest charity projects I’ve ever seen! Combine unique art, one of my favorite subjects AND one of my favorite organizations (St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital) and you get the “IT’S ALIVE!” Project.
The “Its Alive” Project celebrates eight decades of the Frankenstein Monster by presenting 80 re-imagined Life Size Boris Karloff Frankenstein Busts. Each of the 80 artists have been asked to recreate the monster in their own vision, style and hand.
See the amazing collection for sale here.
Read a brief excerpt on the St. Jude mission (and see why I love them!).

I really can’t choose which of Santani’s adorable yet disquieting sculptures to post, so I encourage you to view the whole gallery.
Awww…
Sculptures are made of polymer clay, craft fur and other odds and ends.
Some of the sketches are great as well.

I know I already posted some Halloween wedding cakes, but I couldn’t resist snagging a few favorites from the Cake Wrecks Sunday Sweets collections.
I’d like to see a lineup of Universal monster busts from this creator:
Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) is supposedly rather common, though I can’t imagine why.
It’s rare to find a cake this conceptually original. Fantastic!
Some nice Jack-O-Lanterns…
And last but not least…if Dr. Frankenstein were a pastry chef…
I really like how the creator opted for subtle airbrushing over straight up gore. So much more unsettling. Brilliant! -
Pumpkinrot pointed me to the Halloween collection of sketches, paintings and sculpture from children’s book artist Rhode Montijo.
I love this image:
Bat wallpaper…always a plus.

This little baby buggy tends to circulate every year on various sites. Awww…precious.
Swoon-worthy decoration…
I’d like to see real photos of these:
These as well…
A lovely sculpture by Kate MacDowell:
Ugh…there were always the dreaded houses that dispensed awful Brach’s candy when I was a kid. No one even wanted to trade this stuff.
And arguably even worse…
(I’m not anti-raisin, but this is HALLOWEEN…who wants to gather typical lunchbox fare?)Definitely an inspirational image for awesome kitschy decoration:
Best passive-aggressive note card ever:
Well, hello there.
One lump, or two?
This is either pretty great, or a sad sign made by a dyslexic man named Brian:
Hang on while I hyperventilate because this collection is so fantastic (wish I had the source!):
Groovy retro style pattern:
Not intended for Halloween…but amazing:
Also unrelated, but this octopus looks monstrously friendly. He’s smiling. At you.

I’ve posted about Andrew Bell here and here already. Now he’s debuted a project I must support: the Candy Corn zombie.
I feel compelled to post this because I find these little tricolor nuggets to be one of the most vile candies in all of creation, and I think it’s quite fitting to craft one that is undead.
This is how pretty much all Candy Corn looks in my head anyway. I’d love a go at that chocolate cookie he’s standing on though.

The iconic characters on Blair Sculpture are perfectly gruesome eye candy for the Halloween season.
Look at this impish Harvest Demon…
And his renditions of well-known creepy figures do not disappoint.
See more on the website, and check out some work-in-progress shots on deviantART.
