Wu Zei – This art-installation giant octopus is certainly…ambitious. (Hat tip to Sisifo)

Gift Shrouds – Gothic gift wrap. Why did I not find this before the holidays?!?

Vintage Life Magazine – “The voice of vintage.” Great magazine for vintage-inspired fashion. (via WitchArachne)

Jules and Edgar – This cartoon from Hark! A Vagrant never stops being funny.

Cicada 3301 – Article about a fascinating cryptographical mystery on the internet. This needs to be the basis for a movie. (Update: There’s been a new puzzle released.)

Anatomy of the Rat – This made me squee. (Hat tip to xJane)

Old Calton Cemetery – The Wikipedia article has photos of some of the more interesting gravestones in this old Scottish cemetery. I love the John Gray one.

Through the Woods – I’ve previously mentioned Emily Carroll’s spooky webcomic “His Face All Red;” it’s included in this new collection of her work. Comics&Cola has a preview.

Jane Austen Temporary Tattoos – I love the metal “Imprudent” one.

I’m So Fucking Happy – The juxtaposition of the medium and the message is amusing. I’m not sure of the original artist on this; it resembles this piece by Farhad Moshiri, but I don’t see it in his gallery.

Bonus Links

Unspeakable Vault (of Doom) – Odd little Lovecraftian webcomic with a suspiciously cuddly Cthulhu.

Spiderweb Bracelet – I like this design, but if I were doing a DIY version I think I’d make the attached ring a spider.

The Octobunny – Adorably bizarre custom plush toy.

A Wedding Ring Experience – Design and create your own wedding/commitment rings with the help of a master jeweler.

Haunted Tree Cake – Lovely, spooky cake covered with twisted trees. Looks potentially DIY-able by mere mortals. (I couldn’t locate the original source for this, but whilst looking I stumbled upon this Pinterest board full of awesomely creepy cakes.)
