Sugarpowdered Fairytale Dolls for The Sweet Tooth;)

I found these sweet, lovely, handmade dolls at Etsy. Made by husband and wife, artists Dylan and Jo, stationed in Oregon. I love the delicate, dreamy colors, and the vintage and fairy tale like touch to them! They are all made one at the time and by order, and I'm sure with love and care;) They are available in their shop Cart Before The Horse at Etsy.

"My wife, Jo, is the designer, sculptor, and painter of our creations. I do the sewing, photography, and business end of things. I also make ridiculous videos for youtube featuring our art. Jo spent her early days wandering the barren desert of Arizona before moving to Orlando, Florida as a teenager. I grew up in Maitland, Florida and met Jo while working at a dollar movie theater with sticky floors and seats filled with talkative winos. Jo worked the concession stand and I ripped tickets, but mostly we just chain smoked with the manager out front. (We've since quit - smoking and that job.) Nineteen years later we find ourselves in Oregon with two incredible teenaged kids, a sheltie, and a homegrown art business. It doesn't get better than that." They say in an interview at Etsy.

High Voltage Tattoo

Waiting in anticipation to get the books I ordered online yesterday..:) Kat von D's book of tattoos, "High Voltage Tattoo". A book with her work, the stories behind the tattoos, her life and pictures to drool over.. I also ordered the book "1000 Tattoos" by Henk Schiffmacher, it has lots of old scool tattoos and old black and white photos of people with tatts from around the world. I really love the old style tattoo work! Also I find the photos of the people that got tattoos back in the old days really interesting. Rugged sailors, circus artists, free women, you name it!

I'm a total virgin when it comes to tattoos myself, nothing but pure, white virgin skin on my body! haha But I totally admire and love the art! Why I don't want any myself? Well, that's my statement of being different. Though I can't deny, I have been playing with the thought of getting under the needle.. My love has been a tattooist for years and is more or less covered in tattoos and still planning new ones. I simply love his tatts and find them very sexy;) We have a dream of opening our own shop here in Oslo, I think it would suit us perfect. I could do my things, he can do his tattooing. We'll see what happends, it's a big step to take and we have a few things that needs to be in place first.. In the mean while, I'll study the art;)

Rebeca Puebla's O So Twisted But Sexy Dolls;)

I came over these images surfing CGSociety and I couldn't help but getting drawn to them and all the great little details of the pictures! I simply love the old, classic pin up style to them:) I can't wait to see her next ones out..!! Rebeca Puebla is an freelance 3D character artist situated in Madrid, Spain.

"These characters are a personal project and is the first two in a serie of cute and sexy dolls called "Twisted Dolls" with a cartoon and realistic style based in the pin up, fetish and sado culture".

"Mistress Lili"

Vavavooooom what a waist;)

I simply love the sexy details of the stockings and the shoes here, and the tattoo peeking through the stockings.. Even a small beauty mark on her leg. A great mix of the realistic and a cartoon character. 

"The Butcher's Bride"

Perfect, lil', red shoes

Love the detailed, symbolic tattoos on her body..




Beautifully detailed, classic tattoos..:)

Fascinating Lady;)

I can't help being other than utterly fascinated by Lady GaGa! I love all her crazy, jawdropping, little outfits!!:) Or should I say costumes? I think it's great that there is someone in the entertainment industry like her, she doesn't seem to give a f*** about what other people think about her, like a fresh breeze through Hollywood you ask me!;) Mmmmm... And why should she, she's a walking piece of art and I hope she keeps on expressing herself artisticly through her clothes.. She never stops surprising, she provokes and create reactions, ranging through the whole spectra, from love to hate. That's the beauty of it, she's art. No wonder she's the new muse in fashion.. Who cares if she's man, woman or both!? She's herself and that's plenty enough. Beautiful, fun, perfect and creative insanity! Me love <3

Lovely, Luscious Dark Art from Natalie Shau..

Natalie Shau has created an absolutely wonderful world of sugar coated, dark fairy tale creatures that my sweet thooth just couldn't resist;)  Gorgeous dark pieces, left me with a feeling that can only be described as love by first sight...

"Natalie Shau is an illustrator and photographer from Lithuania, currently living in Greece. Her works are mixture of her photography, digital painting and 3D elements. She enjoys creating surreal and strange creatures, fragile and powerful at the same time. Natalie’s style was influenced a lot by religious imagery, fairytales illustrations and Russian classical literature such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol etc. Natalie Shau constantly keeps working on her own personal artwork and exhibitions, but also enjoys creating illustrations for music bands, fashion designers and writers. Her illustrations for Lydia Courteille jewelry campaign were published in french VOGUE magazine."
