Ha Ha! I love this picture. Found on somebody’s tumbler with no info on source.
Fantastic handmade corpse dolls can be found at Kamila’s Dolls – blog here: Kamila’s Dolls. Sadly she currently has nothing for sale at her Etsy site. Her mom has asked her to tell everyone that she had a very happy childhood.
Check out this cool page of Japanese monster anatomy illustrations by manga artist Shigeru Mizuki.
This is two ideas that belong together: grassroots fund-raising and horror. If you’re not checking out Propnomicon sometimes, then you should. For instance, they have information and downloads on how to make your photos look antique, how to build tentacles (for those of you who can’t grow them yourselves), and also a ton of Cthulhu statuary to use as inspiration. Propnomicon is a website dedicated to making and showing Lovecraft-inspired props. And they make cool stuff, like the awesome Miskatonic University t-shirts on Zazzle. I got the distressed Antarctic Expedition shirt (pictured below being modeled by my pal Ebenezer Lectric the Cat). Anyhow, they’ve created a Kickstarter project, and they still need backers! Here are the details. Go support the great cause, now! Now!
Medical imaging company Eizo enlisted the help of German ad agency BUTTER to come up with a pinup calendar for the Man with the X-Ray Eyes. Hot Hot Hot.
The Hare Bunny Filigreeture with Orange Bandana – OOak Art Doll Figurative Sculpture in the wondrously weird Etsy store, The Filigree.
This brings to mind one of the first scenes in the movie JURASSIC PARK. The one where the person encounters the little dinosaurs. They look all cute and colorful and fascinating, until they attack. Then, before you know it, POW: you’ve got a dozen of them on you. With their fuzzy paws and bellies, their x-ray camera noses, and their little wiggly butts. Yeah you don’t have me fooled, Fujitsu! WHEN THIS THING BLINKS, IT DOESN’T CLOSE ITS EYE, DOES IT?
Believe me. I know from long experience that this is not the sort of thing a monster wants to wake up to. That being fuzzy, shambling nightmares gathered around your bed. Of course, I sleep under my bed, like any self-respecting haunter of attics and basements. I also make creepy noises while I sleep. Well, I don’t want to spend this whole blog post bragging, so I’d better get to the point.
At first glance, these little specimen jars hold cute little bears. A little reading, however, notifies us that these cute little bears are made out of belly button lint. Mmmm. Creepy. These are the work of Betty Rae Case and are sold in her Etsy Store. I’m not ashamed to say that these little guys are in my “It’s safe to tell you now I’ve ordered mine.” (ISTTYNIOM) category. One of the cool things about Etsy is that you can commission the artist to do something custom. Once I get mine, I’ll share.
Besides the belly button lint, Betty Rae Case also creates jewelry made with “human ivory” (read: nail clippings) and (dull in comparison) security envelopes. Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm. Very creepy cool. Lights out.
Mmmmmmanufaturing duplicates of a hot redhead with a strange drill. Fascinating.
