DARK ART:
Ad Honorem
Cemetery images and gothic art by Daniela Lexi. The cemeteries photographed include ones in Austria, Switzerland, Boston, New Orleans, London and Italy.
Thomas Kuebler
"Sculptor of the Bizarre." Visit the online gallery to see his Witches and Wise Men, Monsters & Madmen, Beggars & Freaks, Relics & Remains, and Classics & Legends. These are made from silicone and are incredibly detailed. My favorite sculpture here is Madame Orba.
Who Killed Bambi?
This blog seeks out provocative contemporary arts, including visual arts, music, photography, fashion and design. I really enjoy the fascinating finds they share here, and I wish I'd linked to this sooner to help more of you discover it. Current posts include Anatomical heart millinery; paintings by Markus Akesson; a feature on some incredible American Psycho cupcakes; sculptures by Lisa Black; and a peek at a hilarious Ash Chainsaw dress. I can't wait to see what things they find next!
