I don’t know how I haven’t written about Marci Washington before. I first saw her art in Juxtapoz last year, and immediately loved it. Her work looks like a combination of Egon Schiele, Edward Gorey, and John John Jesse. It’s abstract and demented and beautiful all at the same time. Take a look:
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.
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.

Artist Ray Villafane creates some amazing pieces. One of his mediums happens to be the pumpkin. Oh that just fits in with our theme too perfectly. Some of my favorites are Frankenstein, this Devil-Skull, and certainly, the mother-fucking Predator himself.
I mean, seriously. Check out this spread of tools he uses:
Holy Clive Barker, no wonder these things come out so evil-looking. I know of several mad scientists and sadists who could KILL for these.
Attempt to follow his very well-written instructions here.
This looks pretty damn cool.
The MF Gallery, well-known for their love or horror and other things gore and guts related are hosting their 6th annual Halloween Art show. If you are in the city or are planning on visiting during the month of October, try and make it down to the ITM Lounge and support artists who actually have veritably interesting influences in their work.
I want to buy Zomb-o-Lanterns.
