When I posted about the Mortuary Automaton, a kind reader linked me to this awesome Haunted House Automaton, supposedly from the Edinburgh Museum of Childhood.
Too bad the picture is so small because there’s some cool stuff going on here. I tried to find other videos on youtube to no avail, and googled a bit. In my humble opinion, “Haunted House Automaton” should yield many more results.
I’ve posted about William Basso’s wonderful art before, and I was delighted to hear about his three dimensional works.
My favorite:
Detail (I wish tombstones still looked like this):
Lovely, no?
Some classic monster works in progress:

House of LIZARRAGA is the website of artist Bob Lizarraga, creator of great lowbrow art that features some of my favorite things.
Twilight Zone!
Beloved classic monsters…
Absolutely love this one:
And I also adore the Haunted Mansion Bathroom, where the bride is caught by surprise in the tub!
See more here or on the artist’s blog.
I instantly adored this frothing flask paperweight from ButterflyLove1.
…and this sweet little test tube.
Cyclops plant: perfect leafy companion.
Such a cute, unassuming little ghost:

I’d love to get my hands on a copy of Great Tales Of Horror And Suspense, illustrated by Harry Borgman in 1974.
The style is wonderful, and I’m digging his use of a single color in black and white images.
See more here.
I just spent a while digging though Ivica Stevanovic’s portfolio.
There are some nice children’s book illustrations, but I’m partial to the fantastic monsters, ghouls, ghosts and goblins in the mix.
It was also fun to explore the comic and graphic novel pages. See more here.
Part of me hopes this is not a forgery. Some child has drawn and documented her imaginary friend “Lisa”…the one on the right.
Clearly, this girl is awesome. A very open-minded little soul. And why shouldn’t Lisa get to play with the other kids?
Leave it to adults to come along a ruin a nice friendship between the living and the dead. Don’t worry though…it works out in the end.
See the rest here.
I’ve seen scattered images from Troels Carlsen around the web and just managed to track down the name behind the work. I’m rather partial to his series of skeleton installations.
These skeletons are always emerging…breaking through…enjoying miniature moments of personal triumph. They are curious and worldly little things.
