Sexy Beast

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If not, have more beer. Or some such bullshit my mother told me.

This week has been at a loss with all my appliances issues - I'm finally going to get chance to start all this tonight..I'll be working these next two weeks on the idea of beauty and how I can twist it to fit my creepy little paintings. I've been working on this one painting of mine - doing the research and this little lady popped in my head. She's not the main focus by any means, but it got me thinking of all the things we women do to be beautiful. 

Now, do witches add warts? Do Ogresses apply Eau De Stink? Do Vampires get their teeth sharpened?  

Do you go in to get your creepy weave tangled?  If you'd like to see more of Creepymama's artwork, please visit her and her sister, Olivia the Dollmaker at :

Whoa! Don't trip!

Okay, so we didn't epically fail at our craft fair but we learned a lot of things. I was disappointed at first, but my sister and I did decide to do this at the last minute. I did sell one painting and got a commission for another involving mummies. We are wanting our stuff to be more mainstream and we got a lot of looks at our crafts. Most importantly we got feedback on what people like and then we discussed what would do well.
I've been inspired to venture into a new area for me - dolls. I am infatuated with a few I've been looking at these past few days and will have to experiment to come up with my style of doll. I did come across some creepy shit while coming up for that perfect idea. My god what the hell are people thinking? Okay, I know what they're thinking, I love creepy stuff to, but man, the ones I saw look like nightmares. I just hope our first steps into this area doesn't trip us and we end up skidding on face first.

On another note, so excited for Larry! The book is doing well - I've been getting a lot of good feedback. I even found out that a teacher was using it for her class! Amazing! If you'd like your free copy of Larry Jones and His Lying Bones, go to this link :  Larry Jones and His Lying Bones
