Alien Converse From the Planet Zoltron!
Posted on 11.06.06 by Widge @ 1:02 am

Well, Zoltron's not really a planet. We don't think. Instead, he's an artist who does lots of cool shit--including turning a pair of Converse sneakers into freaked out alien shoes that look like they want to gnaw their way up your legs. If that does happen for real while wearing these, at least film it for us, okay? Thanks.

Zombie Bear! He Just Wants to Cuddle You and Eat Your Spicy Brains
Posted on 10.31.06 by Widge @ 2:11 am

Pure genius. Craftster held a contest to create something along the lines of zombies, robots and bears. And their grand prize winner went with a zombie bear. Complete with removable intestines! Isn't it just cute as can be? But disgusting. And cute! But, you know, disgusting.

Lisa Snellings: Halloween Sale and Auction Headsup
Posted on 10.17.06 by Widge @ 12:08 am
Lisa Snellings Clark: Carousel

Lisa Snellings is not only an incredible artist but she's a truly nice person. Which makes her work even more awesome, in my humble opinion.

First things first: go check out the eBay auction where you can ponder how hard it can possibly be to knock over a bank. I mean...go check out that carousel. Who wouldn't want that?

Then after you've had a good cry, go check out her Halloween Sale, since there's other stuff there that's just as cool. Although Blad Ratcula cannot be denied. He has dominion.

We received word from The Neil.

Knitted Dead 3: You Want Me to Salute That Pile of Walking Yarn?
Posted on 10.16.06 by Widge @ 3:08 am
Knitted Day of the Dead characters

"I'm running this monkey farm now, Frankenyarn, and I wanna know what the fuck you're doing with my time!"

The same genius who previously knitted up some Dawn of the Dead characters, then did Shaun of the Dead, apparently turned her attentions towards Day of the Dead as well as everybody's favorite machete-wielding biker, Tom Savini.

Absolute genius. I didn't see anything on there from the original Night, though. I would love to see a Barbara and Johnny set.
