The Art of Darkness

Still Another Week of Link Dumps: Day 2

February 9th, 2016 by Cobwebs

Bonelab – 3D-printed skeleton model kits. The vampire bat and rattlesnake are particularly lovely. (Hat tip to Fiend4Halloween)

M is for Monocle – A “Victorian Alphabet” picture book, with lovely illustrations.

Tattoos for Knitting & Crochet Lovers – The knuckle tats cracked me up.

Turkey Merck – Sculptor who offers disgustingly realistic limited-edition “slow zombie” mugs.

Disneyland Candles – Anthology Candles has released a line of candles with Disneyland-inspired scents, including one themed for the Haunted Mansion.

50 Fresh Flicks – A look at digital art by Christophe Huet. Notable particularly for these two NSFW images of human-arachnid couplings.

How to Make Paper Out of Lint – Tutorial for making attractive handmade paper from dryer lint.

My Jello Americans – Blog devoted entirely to jello shot recipes. It doesn’t look like it’s been updated in a while but there are plenty of spooky suggestions in the archives, like the cappucino skulls in Catacombs and absinthe-flavored Van Gogh ears.

Frankensteinia – Site devoted to all things Frankensteinian.

How to Make Sugar Skulls – A small terrycloth monkey walks you through the process of making sugar skulls.

Mummy – The University of Chicago has an interactive tutorial which explains the ancient Egyptian practice of mummification. Help Anubis use a hook to remove the brain through the nose, place the internal organs in canopic jars, and wrap the body in linen. Fun for the whole family!

    At first I thought oooh–paper from lint! Then I realized my paper would be mostly cat hair.

    At least your cat would be useful

    Those Zombie mugs sound great, Just what I need for my Goth Themed home bar

    Man I wish the Australian Museum would sell 3D models of their specimens. They’d be so useful! I know so many people who would buy them. Probably. If they didn’t cost an absolute mint.

    I used to throw my dryer lint in the compost, but these days I make firestarters out of them for camping. And, like Cat, my dryer lint has a lot of cat hair.

    I’m still in awe that people get knitting tattoos! And I’m not sure if its a “good” awe or “WTF” awe.
