Beautiful paper-cut animation showing what happens to a whale’s body after it dies, down to the bones.
Bat For Lashes
Posted in Inspirations, tagged music, videos on October 11, 2011 | 1 Comment »
My newest musical discovery is Bat For Lashes (the stage name of English singer Natasha Khan). She sounds something like Kate Bush in the 80′s. In fact some of her songs so strongly capture the sound of 80′s music – in a non-ironic, beautiful way – that one would swear they were listening to a [...]
The Sultan’s Elephant

A haunting video of “The Sultan’s Elephant,” a giant marionette show in the streets of London, where the main character, a little girl, is operated by cranes and pulleys and huge cables, and yet has an undeniable aura of life to her. Her eyes, especially, are so real.

A few more music videos I’ve found recently that need to be shared… “I Say Fever” by Ramona Falls – completely original, impossible-to-describe artistry in this video, there’s something about it that is reminiscent to me of certain altered states of consciousness, and it’s not the overt strangeness but the subtle things like light quality [...]
Conjoined Twins and Cursed Mummies

Just a couple of wonderful, artistic music videos to share here… The first is for the song “Evelyn Evelyn” by the musical act of the same name (conjoined sisters brought to you by Amanda Palmer and Jason Webley). Stop motion animation beautifully renders this sad song about the twins’ lives into visual art. The second [...]

A follow-up to my previous post on some of my favorite Etsy shops, I wanted to promote a few more here. I first saw Art of the Mask in person, at the Faerieworlds winter event here in Eugene. I was especially captivated by her non-wearable, art masks, such as Hypnos, featured here. There is [...]
What fairies are really like

This rings more true than most of the cutesy winged fairy stories I’ve seen. Beware!
