Alien velvet mermaids
A bunch of art links I've been saving up.
Alien Mouthpiece (scroll down): immigrants with little TVs where their mouths should be.
Anything on Velvet: velvet paintings to order. I'd love to get my goddess girls done up in black velvet.
The endangered folk art of hand-painted Bollywood advertising. Now that presents a way to breathe some life into the deadly dull art "installation" scene, as well as a place to get some bang for the arts grant buck. Hmm -- I can't find a good gallery of Bollywood billboards, just a few shots here and there, but I do see a collection of vintage Bollywood album covers.
Deadmalls.com: opportunities for urban design, art and community spaces in a fading town near you
Grotesque Beauties: art objects made from taxidermied animals.
Pongotime: online gallery of amateur sculpture made of modeling clay. Makes me want to have some serious fun with Sculpey.
