Craft Attack!

Caffaknitted made this amazing doll version of Anne Boleyn, doomed second wife of Henry VIII:

 …and she has a detachable head!

The Beatles are good and all, but this…

Like the Beatles, only Indian and with a slight mariachi flair. Also known as “the best.”

“We also create false promises.” Very romantic.

 

…and the dish ran away with the spoon.

Sweet Wishes is the first foray into film for painters Mark Ryden and Marion Peck. The animated short is a cautionary tale starring a doll, a baby, and a bear. Via BoingBoing.

I think it’s a bit too “easy,” but I’m judgmental. The soundtrack, however, is the best. Someone mentioned that it’s Raymond Scott (whose early electronic recordings are amazing amazing amazing, go listen now!), which would mean that Raymond Scott is the posthumous winner of my new favorite person award. Prestigious, I know.

 

… and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Sadomasochistic snails, anyone?

Short films about insect sex starring, written, and directed by Isabella Rossellini… what more do you need to know? Watch them here.

 

Food Party is eggcellent. Egg seriously. Egg egg egg.

Cooking show – awful + Yolk-o Oh No + handmade neon set + puppets + insanity = Thu Tran’s Food Party. 

Make sure you watch part 2 and part 3.

She’s also got a blog where she shares more ridiculous food love. Like dead cobra whiskey. Yum. And she’s an artist outside of the LSD-fueled food medium. And wouldn’t you know it, that work is great, too. I especially love her intaglio prints. .

Thu Tran may have won me over, but only at the high cost of enforcing my disturbing belief that good things are only coming from Williamsburgians these days. Come on, creative folks in less-fashionable burgs! We shall overcome!
