i just spent about an hour marveling at the work of arthur hash. (marveling sounds better than gawking and drooling, right?)

he plays with shapes & space, polyurethane & metal, and i want to touch all of it.

arthur’s website has a mesmerizing slideshow of goodness, including what i think are computer prototypes of some of his pieces. he’s also got a flickr pool. and, for those of you who have any kind of “job” or “money” go directly to etsy.

if you wore this, i would point and yell “hey look out! it looks like a monster is scarfing your body! get it? SCARFING?! hey, wait…where are you going?”

but i’d only do that because it’s so damn cool. if i wore it, i would always yell “oh heck, it’s up to my…” and then make disturbing gacking noises. in public. because i’d have to. clicky.

here! i made you a sampling of etsy goodies, catagorized by the food pyramid.

see, at the bottom you got your wheat, grains, pasta, bread. above that are veggies on the left, fruit on the right. over the fruit is protein which is next to dairy, all topped off with grease and sugar! (science fun fact: grease and sugar are also known as “delicious.”)

by the way, this is based on the “old” food pyramid. why? because the new one is badly designed and i hate it. clicky.

blood of bee makes disturbing, fuzzy, whimsical toys and accessories…all of which make me happy. pictured above you’ll find “Lil Miss Muscals – Astro Babe” and “Furry T-bone Steak childrens T-shirt.”

update: she’s gonna make me a meat patch that i can put on my own shirt! woo! clicky.

AnnieCho says: “Can’t grow your own? Don’t want to commit to a tattoo? Here’s a homemade handlebar moustache finger puppet. Just slip it on your finger and you’re set!”

i’m so close to buying this it hurts. clicky.

i love it when an artist creates a piece that means something to them, taking the chance that others might feel the same way. forget your average pop culture icon. why not sport a pendant featuring a photo of oscar wilde? or how about scaring your family with a scowling lizzie borden ’round your neck? clicky.
