Polish-born artist, Olek, loves watching movies and making art; creating these crochet works allows her to do both at the same time. This is definitely not your granny’s crocheted doilies and toilet paper roll covers. Olek turns the traditional craft into something edgy by covering everyday objects with crochet, transforming them into installation pieces. She explains her work this way:
The movies I watch while crocheting influence my work, and my work dictates the films I select. I crochet everything that enters my space. Sometimes it’s a text message, a medical report, found objects. There is the unraveling, the ephemeral part of my work that never lets me forget about the limited life of the art object and art concept. What do I intend to reveal? You have to pull the end of the yarn and unravel the story behind the crochet.

Steve Thomas has made some pretty amazing Star Wars mash up travel posters. They are very much inspired by some of the vintage travel posters of the early 20th century.
These were done in association with a website in order to have them printed. That website is still working on making that a reality — via Star Wars: The Old Republic
On this wretched day, Little Red Riding Hood should have just stayed inside grandma’s house. Even though she seemed to be getting along with the wolf in the photo, below, it looks like it was all set up by the furry beast. By the looks of the black and white shots, the wolf premeditated the whole ordeal…
Even though it’s obvious that these photos were digitally enhanced by Israeli Shlomi Nissim, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell that if the scenes weren’t so outrageous. The quality of the shots is very high — via My Modern Met

A small piece I did to promote an upcoming group show at the Nucleus Gallery in LA. The show is a tribute to the horror writer, HP Lovecraft. Cthulhu is Lovecraft’s most well known character, and I thought he would be the perfect iconic image to introduce the show. Apart from this, I will be doing another, more substantial piece for the show as well. More details here — via Jeremy Enecio

day 221, tentacle porn, originally uploaded by massdistraction.
So, just a weird idea, with octopus tentacles instead of cream swirl on a cupcake. Not even sure I drew them correctly, but heh, I still have the feeling I’m improving.
Anyway, the “tattoo design” thing is a pretty good (or bad?) excuse not to draw backgrounds :p
Oh, and if you play with the colors, you can get a creepy green-tentacles-and-violet-cup thing. That makes it look like Cthulhu is coming out of that the cake — via Tattoos and doodles
