Leather Cthulhu mask

Je-sus. It's like what would have happened if H.R. Giger had developed the Cenobites.

Each Game of Meat Chess Means There's One Less Nice Sandwich Left to Be Made
Posted on 01.17.07 by Widge @ 11:48 pm

Yes, it's a work of art called "cutting_board," where a chessboard is made from steaks sliced into squares. Video of butchers considering their next move plays out on displays. At least that's what they say. Me, I think the butchers are thinking, "How am I going to get to that meat with me trapped in this display? There must be a way!"

What Time is It, Miyazaki-san?
Posted on 01.14.07 by Widge @ 11:12 pm

Just caught this at Cartoon Brew, but apparently Hayao Miyazaki designed a 28-ton clock for Nippon Television Network...

The clock, which is 12 meters tall, 18 meters wide and weighs 28 tons, was made from 1,228 copper plates, and displays 32 mechanical trick features. The clock resembles images from Miyazaki's film "Howl's Moving Castle," and at fixed intervals blacksmith dolls come out of the clock as music is played.

Read the full article here, which has a pic. Unfortunately, that YouTube video (direct link for the feedreaders) doesn't show the dolls or anything. And the clock, to our knowledge, doesn't take an unwitting passerby to an alternate dimension every second Thursday at 2pm. But, well, you can't have everything.

Daniel Dociu: Gloriously Whacked Sci-Fi Art
Posted on 12.28.06 by Widge @ 7:51 pm

Daniel Dociu

The Beat clues us into the artwork of Daniel Dociu, and honestly, Heidi MacDonald's description of the man's work is better than anything we could drum up: "His work has a kind of Jawa explosion/rainy night in Hong Kong/ruined hydroponic tank feeling to it."

Indeed. Check it out.

Childrin R Skary Christmas
