I’m scared



Never have I wanted the power so badly as now. Hit the link for more Masters of the Universe based art than you can shake a stick at.


There's a cock on that shoe
3 days until Halloween! 3 for Pierre Molinier, creepy fetishist and all-around pervert who died on March 3rd, 1976. Maker of some awesome photography and apparently the type of everyday guy who likes to have sex with his dead sister’s corpse (read the wikipedia). Stay brutal.
What you’re looking at here is an ongoing project entitled “Self” by artist Marc Quinn. A more detailed explanation is that you’re looking at a sculpture of Quinn’s own head made out of 4.5 liters of his own frozen blood. The blood is taken from this own body over a period of five months. The work is then repeated every five years to establish a unique record of the artist aging.

We stopped by Dirk Strangely’s booth for a bit. We chatted with the Texas-based artist for a bit, and came away very impressed with his work.
This thing is WAY bigger than I thought it would be. I guess things are called “yard art” for a reason.

He’s this, btw:

This series of Hello Kitty suicides from the blog The Art of Thom Foolery is absolutely amazing. There are 9 paintings, each complete with a story behind the suicide. For example, the above titled painting Cat Scratch was inspired by the following story:
In the fall of 1984, Hello Kitty began a romantic relationship with fellow character franchise front woman, Strawberry Shortcake. The two had met in the cocktail lounge of the Abbey Court hotel in London where both were scheduled to appear at a trade convention. They had kept their relationship concealed from the public for 8 months. This was due in part to Astro Boy posing as a beard for Hello Kitty. In June of 1985, the two had taken a romantic weekend getaway to a private beach in Jamaica. Paparazzi caught up with the lovers and the following week they were outed by Michael Musto of NYC paper, The Village Voice. Despite initial public shock, Hello Kitty and Strawberry Shortcake continued their relationship. Around this time Strawberry Shortcake had begun filming her latest special, Strawberry Shortcake Meets the Berrykins. Also filming across the lot at DiC studios was newcomer, Rainbow Brite’s debut feature film, Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer. The two met at the studio commissary and shortly thereafter began a secret affair. Strawberry Shortcake began to grow distant from Hello Kitty, but she did not think it suspicious as both had demanding schedules between merchandise shoots and animated specials. An anonymous letter was sent to Hello Kitty notifying her of the secret affair. It was later revealed in the behind the scenes, tell-all book, “The End Of The Rainbow”, published in 1998, that the letter had been written by Twink, Rainbow Brite’s sidekick, in a drunken jealous stupor. When confronted by Hello Kitty, Strawberry Shortcake told her it was over and she officially left her for the younger, spunkier franchise character. Heartbroken and crestfallen, Hello Kitty took her life that very evening on the night of June 13, 1986 by slicing her wrists.
I highly recommend taking the time to read through these. It’s really great work.
Way to go Kitty. Random internet searching can definitely unveil some of the greatest surprises.
Well, pretty much. A camera owned by Hitler, Martha Stewart might be more evil, but this thing comes pretty damn close I have to say.
This article on Zoombits led me to the work of Wayne Martin Belger and his Boy of Blue Industries, specifically the pictured Third Eye Camera.
I stumbled upon Uno Morales’ work via Ectoplasmosis, and discovered a collection of disturbing yet beautifully moving images. Check out his live journal page for yourself, and I promise you will come across something you will like and/or associate with.
