I wrote a post about this artist almost 2 years ago. Since then she’s expanded her gothic selection and her current inventory looks completely new to me – so I just wanted to throw her some traffic for her latest creations. I really think hand crafted goth dolls are not appreciated as they should be. Each one is unique and one of a kind. A collector’s item for people that have an affection for vampires and scary movies.
Internationally known artist, D.L. Marian, creates one of a kind dead dolls, mannequins and other works of art. I like that she offers to add fangs on request. She also offers tours of her studio which would be so interesting. She’s located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I love a cool site like this.
This is a cover on 13th Hour Magazine with one of D.L. Marian’s creations. Visit her site to see all of her work.

When I think of Halloween and tattoos, the first artist that comes to mind is Paul Booth. His tattoos, his shop, and every aspect of the art of Paul Booth screams Halloween. This year marks the third year that Last Rites Gallery, Booth’s shop, has celebrated it’s 13th Hour Group Exhibit. The exhibit began this weekend and will run until the 21st of November. He brings together artists specializing in the dark, depraved, and gothic style from around the world to exhibit their work.
The studio and where you can visit this exhibition is located in New York city. Booth built up a highly respected reputation in the tattoo industry and is now using his fame to help bring these artists together and help establish an appreciation for dark art which gets a bad rap. These talent artists are given a chance to display their work as a serious art form. Gothic art is slowly building up a respectable reputation with the help of artist like Paul Booth. (Last Rites also holds additional exhibits throughout the year.)

There’s a new trend currently popular with young teenagers primarily middle school kids which is freaking out their parents. The popularity of the “Twilight” books and movie along with the HBO series “True Blood” has been given the reasons for this new fad. Young teenagers are now actually biting their friends on the neck to make a statement about their friendship or love for that person. They bite hard enough to leave tissue damage and some heavy bruising. Then they are documenting the act with pictures on their Facebook profile. continue reading

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. The kicker was it was a commissioned order filled by this talented Canadian artist, Jade Perez, which is adorned with a tattoo on it’s chest as well as a tattoo gun clutched in it’s little doll hand. Jade says “I love horror, blood and scary things.”… The doll was a gift to the buyer’s tattoo artist. continue reading

Well it’s just going to be one of those weeks – found another talented dark doll artist by the name of Kamila Mlynarczyk. Each doll is one of a kind and completely hand made. Her styles are Victorian and antique in style. The dolls are fascinating and so odd. Her sculptures range from mermaids and zombies to conjoined twins. It’s difficult to discern the size of some of her dolls. continue reading
