I can practically smell the odor of death and decay, mingled with the vanillery scent of children's flesh when I look at the work of Mexican based artist Kikyz1313.

Ink Jewelry

Ink Jewelry has some rather gorgeous and wonderfully wyrd accessories and giftware. Owners Ina and Kristin have been working together for eight years, and 'share a love for jewelry that isn’t taken too seriously, and is a bit less than perfect, like life.'

Matthew J Levin

The work of sculptor Matthew J Levin is the kind of stuff that you will find in the nightmares of the mentally distubed. I want to get inside his head, and watch and listen while his mind whirs away, and conjures up the ideas that he then uses as inspiration for his wonderfully disturbing pieces… Continue reading Matthew J Levin →
