The only blog about animals (taxidermied), ice cream, illustrations, creepiness, Oprah Winfrey, and Mary-Kate Olsen. I have a pretty broad spectrum of interests, but there are very specific themes that string together what appeals to me, creatively. Real things that look fake. Fake things that look real. Real fake things. Fake real things. Whimsy.

“AMO glimpses the collection through a fractured cinematographic lens: contorted cityscapes, tropical traces, desolate architecture, illusory projections and palimpsests flicker like movie stills.”

The Argentinean, multi-talented Juan Gatti is generally known as a commercial photographer and graphic designer, often collaborating with film director Pedro Almodovar. His lesser known work includes anatomy drawings of human body in combination with the taxonomy of plants and of exotic animals.

Collages by Beth Hoeckel. I am impressed by how well the lighting and perspective matches in each of her pieces, making the collage almost realistic. She’s messing with my mind.

My talented artist/videographer/photographer friend Scott Hammel gave me an awesome print of one of his collage pieces. He recently had a show entitled “Gutter Glitter” which I attended, and was written about on refinery29. The creepy personification and unbalanced “beautification” of these not-so-pretty things is totally my cup of tea. I love pretty ugly things.
The print fits in perfectly on my Wall of Whimsy (which displays ice cream meats, 3-d Ganesh, bald Britney, a midget version of my college diploma, baby Oprah, the Olsens, and other ever changing weirdness). Thanks Scott!
