09.28.06 by ScottC @ 10:58 pm  Most people take comfort in the popular myth that children are innocent little angels that are all sweetness and light. Of course, we know the truth. That children are truly dark diminutive bundles of rage, viciousness, and deceit. We should know. We were those children. Some of the people on staff, at least mentally, still are. Katy Towell understands what childhood is really about. We've featured her work before, but her web site Childrin R Skary is chock full of artwork and flash cartoons featuring tiny tykes being evil. We respect anyone who can mix zombies and flamenco. Categorized as: Art

Although "dabbled" seems an inappropriate verb to use when you check out these gorgeous works of art, using some real animals bits that his father snagged for him from deceased animals. No, calm down: the father was superintendent of a zoo. Check out the full gallery of these sculptures here. And some are still available for sale. Oh, for a bank to rob. Categorized as: Art

There's cosplay let loose upon the cityscape, plus other weird wild stuff like people made up to be dogs and the most crowded crime scene you'll ever see. The CSI guys would go apeshit. Check it out.

09.13.06 by Widge @ 6:44 pm  I know it's a stretch, but when I was looking through the "exhibits" that make up this Little People street art project, I was reminded of the classic Irwin Allen TV show. Maybe it's the part where they said "left to fend for themselves" that made me think of the wee little ones getting crushed underfoot. And then you've just got a tiny poster or an elevator there by itself, left for some normal-sized human to notice one day and say, "WTF?" I've thought about this too much, haven't it? Found at Boing Boing by Rox of Spaz-House. Categorized as: Art

09.12.06 by Widge @ 3:51 am  The Arario Gallery in Korea has got a fascinating exhibit up: skeletons of your favorite toons, along with corresponding anatomical (animatomical?) drawings. I would love to have one of these installed in my foyer, just to see the reactions of people as they came in. "Hmmm? Oh, yes, Bugs will take your coat." Categorized as: Art
