Flash Your Tattoo

Recently I’ve had an itch to take some type of sculpting class – learn how to throw some clay – or bake a statue.  What’s perked my interest in this art medium recently is the detailed work that some artists are able to achieve.  It looks like it would be fun to take a stab at it – make you appreciate their skill and the realism they are able to reach can make you doubt what you are seeing.

Lisa Lichtenfels creates realistic soft sculptures.  They range from less than 5 inches to life-sized figures.  Her sculptures have been sold to collectors from all over the world.

The sculpture she has on her landing page is so real, I first thought it was the artist and she had a great sense of humor.  I thought that even though I KNEW she was an artist that created life like sculptures.  I just refused to believe it could be anything but an old lady dressed up for a funny photo shoot.

Found a new goth doll blog site – NewAged Dolls. I actually feel this doll maker may have gone a little past goth and into a Stephen King novel.

At Gothic Pictures, you can find quality professional goth photos, gothic paintings, anime, and architecture. There is no explanation on the site as to who does the artwork or any way to contact the owner of the site. It’s possible all of the work is done by one person. I found a link to another site that seems to be an offshoot of this extensive goth site. (continue reading…)

This online store I found has the largest selection of goth dolls I’ve seen yet. The costumes/clothing are great and detailed. You can even buy special doll stands decorated with skulls. (continue reading…)
