Art - What I've Been Looking At Lately

I've been working on An Actual Article of Substance for an upcoming issue of Ultra Violent, which has prevented me from devoting as much time to recreational movie-watching as I'd like. Since I'm heading out for a long weekend out of town, I figured I would leave you with something to enjoy looking at, internet. You're welcome!

Jindřich Ulrich Oil Miniatures - Tiny, beautifully-detailed paintings by an artist in Prague, using weird historical and pseudo-religious imagery.

Neuromantic - Expressionist portraits of groovy film dandies, giallo girls, and Japanese pop icons. I'm obsessed with that Helmut-Berger-as-Dorian-Gray painting. OBSESSED, people.

Surreal Fusion Gallery - Dark fantastic paintings and cross-stitch reproductions of genre movie posters by two artists.

Vincent Price Embroidered Portrait

Fashions Past - Best & Worst - Vintage photos of models and everyday folks sporting some amazing styles from days gone by. Who wants to join me for a group disco shot?

Rogue Spy--thanks! I will definitely share my adventure stories upon my return.

Theodora--I think there's clearly a market for horror needlecraft. I didn't even realize there was an empty spot in my life to be filled by horror needlecraft until a couple of months ago.

WHY does everyone have to use MySpace these days??!? I could barely look at the galleries with all the flashy crap in the background, and ASHDJAHDJAKHDS DO NOT WANT COMPUTER PLAYING MUSIC UNLESS I HAVE DIRECTED IT TO DO SO!!! *foams*

I . . . will be over here in my corner, in my chair, with a shotgun full of rock salt.

Ashbet--I hear you about MySpace. It's kind of cluttered, and I've vowed not to put music on my own page! I have found some really neat art there, that's quite worth a peek :)
